Anderson
Silva is the current UFC Middlweight Champion and is widely considered
one of the top pound for pound fighters in the world.
Silva cut
his teeth bouncing around Brazil and Japan while earning the reputation
as a deadly striker. Since entering the UFC in 2006 Silva has become
one of MMA biggest stars. He was impressive right the start, demolishing
Leben, Franklin, Lutter, Marquardt, Franklin again, and Dan Henderson
(all respected opponents,)
Anderson
Silva's striking is unmatched. He has very long limbs and his style
is somewhat unorthodox. His balance, timing and accuracy are flawless,
which seemingly allows him to throw dangerous strikes at all times.
Most experts think the way to beat Silva is to dominate him on the
ground, but Lutter and Marquardt were beaten quickly while attempting
this strategy.
