Anderson was a carbon copy of Pelé and his style. Of course he's a Chute Box guy.
How many fighters do you know that fought during the UFC 1 era and had both a striking and grappling background? 'cause Pelé did.Pele's overrated as a pioneer.
Pele beat Matt Hughes and pat millitiech. C'mon, tho this is irrelevant, Anderson is blates a chutebox and pride fighter.Pele's overrated as a pioneer.

Him and Cordeiro were the prototype for Brazilian fighters for the next 25 years.
He never got good at Judo/BJJ, but he was training in it from the get go. Compare that to the Gracie's who didn't train shit for striking.Grappling background huh. That was his weakness. He also lost to nearly every top fighter he ever faced, it's because he was unable to evolve in the sport.
