How did Silva do this?????

[Kung Fu bb]

Damn matrix Silva!!!!!!!!

See that extra shoulder movement he makes when he dodges Franklin's kick???

I mean, I can watch it a hundred times but still

How the hell was Silva able to do these kind of thing???

Anybody seen anything remotely close to this while dodging a high kick in a championship fight???????

IMO this is why Silva is GOAT.

It´s not only about number of title defenses... it´s HOW it´s done.

Pretty amazing the things he did while fighting.
It's really a shame this forum is more about putting down fighters in defeat over appreciating stuff like this.

When B-level reflex meets D-level speed. Is normal.

Exactly!!! That is a thing of beauty right there. I mean, everyone else would've just missed that timing and gotten head kicked. Silva just fucking defied the rules of time and space right there.

The closest we've gotten lately was Cody NeckTatts dodging and dancin with crummy Cruz

Still, have you seen anybody do this even to a terrible (as you say) striker? No???? Not a single one???

That´s what I thought.

Can't remember was that the 2nd Franklin fight? If so Rich was probably still shook from the 1st fight

Lol at Rich Franklin

Rich was no joke back then, come on. I'm sure you know this. Dude started 14-0 and was 22-1 when he first lost to Silva.

I remember someone breaking down Silva's movement after the Weidman KO. He pointed out that Anderson's movement in slipping blows has always been left-right. Most mma fighters have historically not been technical enough to deal with even basic slipping, so when Weidman made the simple adjustment to double up on the same hand he was able to catch Silva with the opposite hand

Prime AS was a thing of beauty and enchantment.

I don´t know man, I think Silva´s movements were more than just "left and right" slipping....

Obviously in the Weidman fight he paid the price for exaggerating a lot, I don´t think it had that much to do with Weidman breaking down Silva's movements.

That the first one i think.
