Anderson has the best head movement in the LHW division

i think anderson has the best head movement in mma period

 

Nothing special at alll,if his head movement is the best in MMA then it must be very very poor.

 

I wouldnt get too carried away. Remember that was Griffin in the other corner. Griffin is VERY slow and methodical. The gulf in class and talent was apparent long before the fight began. I saw Silva trying some new things may be audacious considering it was under MMA rules but that was Forrest Griffin. If that was Melvin Mahoef there's no way Silva would have done that.

 

Why shouldnt it work? Sorry but thats just dumb. Its worked in the past and it will continue to work.

Whats the alternative of no head movement? Do you want to know? Getting punched in the head is one of the alternatives to no head movement.

Perhaps Silva should've done that.

And no MMA isnt boxing. But boxing is critically important in terms of the standup. The skills are applicable and that is why the best strikers in MMA are those with striking backgrounds.

I was critical of Florian in the past for being a mediocre striker. People criticized me to no end and tonight his "Muay Thai" couldnt touch Penns Boxing. And Penn used quite a bit of head movement.

Jesus Christ, I cant believe people still believe in this stuff.

Man, its unbelievable. Just incredibly stupid.

 

And yeah, I agree. I like Forrest but this is one of the best opponents for Silva to look good against. Forrest really is not a big puncher nor is he a guy with great handspeed.

 

Hes the only fighter who moves his head, so yeh

 

Iv seen Couture use some deft headmovement... His opponent was Tim Sylvia....

 

That was hilarious, a 45 yr old bending at the waist in slow motion.

The idea that head movement does'nt work in MMA is nonsense.

If you're good enough you use it and only when you need to.

Anderson knows when to use it and when not to.

 

If you're really good at it, theres never a time to not use it to avoid strikes.

The bottom line is, you dont see it often in MMA because they simply arent good at it. The ones who are good at it, use it. Noons beat the **** out of Diaz primarily because of his head movement.

We all saw Silva tonight, Silva against Franklin. Hell even old man Couture did it against Sylvia.

Penn did it tonight, did it against Sherk. Fedor did it against AA, AA did the same to him and in other fights.

The notion that it doesnt work in MMA is such bull****. People really need to form their own opinions and not have babbling idiots like Rogan form it for them.

The only thing SAD is that people still say this ****. Its embarassing and pathetic.

 

I wish someone would shoot that man. He's been the colour commentator for well over a decade and he's still an idiot.

 

There's just times to use it and times not to MMA.

Anderosn knows when to use it and when to avoid using it, depending on what his opponents incoming stirkes are at any given time.

Is so sharp he can pull it off in a split second when he needs to.

Like Scurla said you would'nt be seeing so much of it against the likes of a Manhoef or Cro Cop.

 

Silva is very much like Fedor. He explores and tries diffrent techniques on the fly in the ring according to what his opponent gives him. Griffin is just so undeveloped as a fighter that he could afford to play with his food.
