we are talking about Anderson Silva without the good stuff.
Can he beat
Whittaker
Romero
Weidman
Gastelum
Jacare
Rockhold
Brunson
Hall
 
Even if we're assuming he's in his prime using PEDs, Jacare, Romero and Weidman are bad fights for him.

Hall - easily
Brunson - easily
Rockhold - maybe, depends on how rockhold fights.
Jacare - No
Gastelum - Probably
Weidman - Probably not
Romero - No
Whittaker - Maybe
 
Maybe. Without PEDs, he was still one of the greatest strikers, if not the greatest, to ever grace the sport. And he played his game, not the opponent's, if at all possible.

I believe he'd have a fair chance, in all honesty.

But TS told us all that a one dimensional puncher is the greatest striker in the sport.
 
Nope. Recently lost. He sucks.
 
Yeah, pretty sure all those guys are 100% clean...
 
Everything wrong with Anderson's recent performances is mental imo
 
Anybody who tries to strike with prime Silva is getting lit up. There's a lot of badass grapplers right now though, so hard to say for sure

Tell that to weidman,Sonnen and chonan
Also you didn’t consider the steroid factor

The current top 5 are younger and on steroids.
 
If we assume that all the other guys Are clean too, prime Anderson is champ in the current division. Imagine flabby 40 year old Romero And Jacare...

Weidman was way past Silva's prime, Chonan was way before. Sonnen wrestled him the first fight, and got his ass beat the second.
 
Even with them he cant. His old ass is done.
