Is Demian Maia Anderson's best W?

[ElChapoInHisPrime]

Look at what Maia has done since and then watch Anderson completely toy with him.

Spider Bless

Maia at WW is a different beast than Maia at MW IMO.

Andy's best win was TRTor IMO.

 

[Darkart]

That fight should count as a loss for Anderson, what an abortion.

Demian is a much better wrestler , setups and TD artist now then he was back then. He was a 1 dimensional BJJ guy back then, now he transitions everything

 

[snugglecakes]

might be vitor... he was still TRTor back then

 

[JackWhite]

lol, no.

But it's definitely a better remembered win in hindsight now.

 

[Breaking]

It depends on how you define best.

(Keep in mind that this is TRT Vitor)

nevermind. It doesn't depend on what you mean by best.

The answer to your question is no.

that was the weirdest fight of anderson silvas career, it made people hate him after that, luckily he had the vitor knockout and fights like that to get people back on his side

That was when Maia was a white belt at wrestling.

 

[nogdog]

His win over Forrest was one of the greatest sports performances of all time, imo.

His win over Maia wasn't pretty nor was it all that effective. That Maia went on to have great success at WW doesn't mean Anderson's victory was his best.

 

[Etherized]

Maia's wrestling is really good now. He's a different fighter now.

 

[Workaholic]

That fight was before Maia learned how to wrestle and Maia was never as good at mw as hqe is as a ww

Not even the same guy

Let. It. Go.

No he wasn't

 

[I see stiffness]

Yes...but Anderson had easy opponents for the most part.

 

[Slapchoppin]

if you think what Silva did to him was impressive you should see what Marquardt did to him

Maia at WW is a different beast than Maia at MW IMO.

Andy's best win was TRTor IMO.

This! Maia is a monster now because of the move down . He's got size and strength on most everyone he fights now. That wasn't true at MW.

 

[HelloJapan]

It's almost as if Andy knew how truly dangerous Maia is on the ground...

 

[Montecristo]

Maia is much better fighter now

 

[copyandpasteguy]

Anderson's best win is debatable.

Dan Henderson when Dan was still good. Rich Franklin, Forrest who walks around north of 230. Vitor...


One other note... GSP opponents were overrated
