silva and penn had the same weakness.....fast, lateral moving strikers....
Gegard mousasi is the best striker in mw history,he would turn Anderson silva into a wrestler

That night I was very butt hurt but learned to respect Anderson after that. Had waited years thinking Vitor would come back to UFC and murk Anderson.In MMA, Silva by far.
That said I believe Anderson began declining sfter this.

You gotta admit that this was a crazy ending. It wasn't Mousasi's lack of skill that lost him that fight.
Uriah busted out a high risk unpredictable.unorthodox move out of his ass and caught him flush right on the button.

Of course. It can never be that he had tough opponents who gave him harder fights.

Its true...but who knows....Mousasi's style is completely different. I...really would have liked to have seen this fight when Anderson was still on top! Shame.

Cmon man we might be annoying but we're not Platinum fan level deluded
Mousasi is an animal and an elite talent that has been proven over a decade, him vs any middleweight in the world is a coin flip or in Gegards favour

I don't think we can say that with any confidence. I just would have liked to see it. You don't know which moose is gonna show up.

I used to think this and put money on him to beat Machida in a fucking tailor made kickboxing match against a guy nearly 10 years older. He looked like the old guy in that fight, lame as fuck, turned me against him for a long time. He was outclassed standing.

Lmao....no, just no. Mousasi doesn't know the meaning of agility, and footwork. He has piss poor footwork, and has to be set at all times in order to throw and land his strikes. Can't fight going backwards, and doesn't have the best boxing defense, seeing that Chris was tagging him with a bunch of punches, and kicks as well.
He's very reliant on his chin, and doesn't have Greta head movement like Silva does. He uses his gloves more for defense, then natural head and body movement he should have from the years of striking experience he has.
And styles wise, I think Silva eats him up. He likes to plod foralward, and chase. Cant cut the cage off to save his life. Silva would light him up something crazy if he fought the way he did against Machida.
