IMHO, from his UFC debut in 2006 till Jones beatdown of Shogun in 2011... Silva was P4P num 1.
Simply amazing fighter, super skilled and vicious finisher.
Shame he had to use Peds to gain some edge
U guys may post Anderson's gifs and images on here plz.
While he was UFC champ the destruction he layed down on " in their prime" fighters was fucking impressive.It can't be argued. He flat out handled prime Rich ....twice and first fight was tough to watch.Rich took about 188 knees in that plumb- brutal..
Prime Marquadt who didn't pass "eye test" didn't make it out of 1st.
Lutter- the first guy to implement a game plan that made Anderson work......was brutally finished in 2nd round (pretty sure).
Made quick work of 37 year old top ranked Hendo in a 2nd round RNC.
I'LL never forget Irvin-s sound bite before his fight with Silva at 205 : "I'm going show Anderson why we have weight classes "..... then Anderson proceeded to literally put a vagina in the middle of Irvin' s face- brutal cut and 1st round destruction.
Griffin ran into cage like a nervous fan- fought like one- got finished quickly like one.....and then proceeded to run out of cage like one.
Look what he did to prime Vitor- first round kick to the mug....night-y nite.
Okami- " re match" was not competitive a single bit in a 2nd round destruction..
Sonnen re-match ....another early beat down.
Bonner tried his luck at 205 and again- another fighter who looked like he didn't belong in same cage as Anderson- -- another brutal 1st round retirement.
He had a few "so so" performances along the way.... a few being the operative words.
This is what separates himself from Gsp.
