Hahahaha the nerve of these Zombies. Hoost is a K-1 legend, even a one handed one legged, blindfolded Hoost would knock Anderson Silva's head clean off. Anderson has never fought a top level striker, this is why he looks so good. I would even give Hoost a win in dancing competition.
as much as i am a hoost fan. he lost to Bob sapp! twice. Silva could easily out box and use better footwork to out point hoost.
Is this a joke??? MMA gives him alot of tool??We are talking striking..Fists,elbows,knees and legs.. Hoost would beat silva within 2rounds.
People here are talking crazy talk, thinking Silva could actually hang with the great Hoost. Kiddies, stop watching UFC and start watching K-1, you obviously havent seen the great Hoost apply his trade against top level kickboxers. Bob Sapp is a monster of a man. Even an out of his prime Bob Sapp would slaughter Anderson Silva.
Now I don't know about that. I doubt Sapp could even catch Anderson. He would gas out trying to, and turtle when Anderson attacked. he is seriously terrible now.
Ernesto Hoost is a atg k-1 kick boxer i'd like to see them in a muay thai bout with silva. Ernesto prime to prime would pump silva imo.
Bob Sapp is a monster who is actually quite agile on his feet, he would basically corner his opponents and lay them out. His punches are telegraphed and slow but it does pack a huge punch. Just the turbulence from Sapp's punches would knock Silva out.
There is a big difference between outstriking wrestlers and bjj guys and outstriking elite strikers. Hoost and it isn't close.
