Is there anyone in MMA that is more fluid than this guy is on his feet? Watch how he bounces on he feet, almost like he has no weight under him, like he is bouncing on pillows yet with such control and precision. I thought I was 'over' watching Silva, but when he gets going in his striking rhythm, the guy seems like he cancels out everything around him and can do just about anything, as he has his focus magnified on his opponents every move, sort of like some **** from the Maxtrix with such anticipation... after this performance, I realize it never ceases to amaze me. Great stuff.
No one, not even close frankly, theres some great strikers in MMA, Murray, Manhoef, prime Cop but no one as smooth and fluid. hahahaa we were just mentioning Matrix. Watching the fight closely you can clearly see Anderson focusing on Forrests left leg. the guy has amazing vision, it was a spectacular performance, this Griffin guy held the title at LHW a year ago. The gap Silva is opening up in skills is staggering.
We all say that Fedor is the P4P king of MMA and GSP and Machida are knocking on the door too. But none of them are as perfect as Silva. None of them are a beautiful to watch as Silva. I want to see Silva, Machida and Fedor fight and I dont think any of those fights are crazy. People say I'm crazy for wanting to see Silva fight Fedor and that Silva has no chance against Fedor. Well, I would'nt be surpised if Silva beat Fedor because he bring's a lot to the table that Fedor has never dealt with before, and Fedor say's that he does'nt like fighitng the smaller and Faster guy's. SIlva is actually taller than Fedor with a bigger reach too. It makes me want to go back to the old day's where weight was'nt an issue and the little guy's were fighting the big boy's in open weight tournaments. Couldyou imagine an open weight tournamnet with GSP, machida, Silva and Ferdor? :shock:
It's like his second fight with Franklin, Rich throwing like a wild man and Anderson, han ds by his side, ducking and weaving like Rich was in slow motion.
the guy is incredible. he's a complete fighter and his comfort and intelligence in the ring is just unbelievable. i honestly don't see him ever being beaten at this point. the only guy who might have something close to a chance would be lyoto machida but anderson's already said they have no interest in fighting each other because they are good friends.
I thought Machida can beat Silva due to what I perceive strength advantage but I dont know anymore. Both I think has a chance to beat Fedor because both possesses a complete striking package and great defense, I think Machida can fare better with his stronger base but who the **** knows. One thing is clear Fedor better try to take it to the ground ASAP. GSP shouldnt even be discussed with these guys, these are big boys with the same skill level. GSP cannot stand 10 seconds with any of these guys and I dont think he has the strength to keep them down for 25 minutes.
