    I would like that the nuthuggers of Anderson Silva would see these fighters, to stop bragging him as an elite muay thai fighter.

    Dont get me wrong, Anderson Silva is a much much much better martial artist than them, but he aint on their level of Muay Thai.

    Anderson Silver is a valid Muay Thai fighter, he is just a very powerful fighter, he would be great at any style but that is not his purpose, he just wants to smash people and he does this very well regardless of the method or style, winning is not a style after all.

    Those guys could definitely compete. Some of the guys on that video...As for a standup MMA match I damn sure wouldn't bet against! Some of the shots they took, and didn't even seem to phase em are crazy. Elbows, knees, kicks, punches...True warriors.
    IF anyone like that did compete in UFC they damn sure better take that guy down ASAP.

    I'm not sure if he has held a title but I'm pretty sure ages ago I read somewhere that he was undefeated.

    He didn't. With a few months training he'd be world class though, without a doubt.

    Hit and miss, for every CroCop there are 20 Leko's.

    No, thats not MT, but the principle applies.
