Machida: ''Anderson would knock Fedor out''

I think Silva would dismantle Sylvia, the same Sylvia who Vera was beating everytime Brandon threw a punch or a kick. Arlovski, might have to take Silva down because his chin certainly would not be able to handle any of Silvas strikes.

Silva can beat most LHWs, he fights at over 200lbs. If you think 10-20 pounds is going to hinder him from doing things to harm you..lol

Anderson is the most complete fighter in MMA, His standup is one (if not) the best in history and he is a legit BJJ Black Belt who is getting even better (on the ground) as we speak.

 

:yep:good

Fedor is not invincible.

He is the GOAT but he actually does'nt have the complete skill set of Anderson Silva.

I'm mean Fedor nearly got KTFO by Fujita ffs.

Fedor is superb but all fighter's are lucky, and Fedor has been lucky at times no matter how great he is.

Silva bring's a hell of a lot to the table and bring's things that Fedor has never had to deal with before. Just like Fedor brings things to Anderson that he has never seen before.

You would also thinl that MMA fans would realise above all other pro fighting fans that size and strenght does'nt mean you are going to win.

****, bar Barnett and Lesanr i'd rather see Fedor fight a 205 version of Anderson Silva and the rest of the boys at 205.

 

I would rather see him fight Silva than Barnett. I don't see what's so great about the heavyweight division. Barnett's last two wins were against Yvel and Rizzo, that would be impressive if this was 2001. Everyone keeps refering to Sylvia and Arlovski as former UFC champions, which they are, but Couture, Mir and Nog have destroyed Sylvia and Arlovski has been a very timid version of his former self. I don't even know why the Giant Choi and Matt Lindland fights happened, was there no better matchups for Fedor?
I wouldn't mind seeing Fedor cut down to 205 if possible where there's more talent, or clean out the ENTIRE heavyweight division (Check Kongo, Carwin, Lesnar, Couture).

 

I truly believe that Fedor is the greatest MMA fighter of all time. But it wont be long before Silva takes that mantle if he keeps on fighting. This team (Black House) is the most advanced team in the sport. They could possibly rule 3 divisions in this sport (Lyoto at LHW and JDS at HW)

They have a collection of the greatest strikers in the game under the tutelage of Nog and Schembri as far as their GG.. Its too bad that Nog is shot and Filho is a mess.

 

Dude you're riffing in MMA cliches here

 

Im just telling the truth, Silva has shown hes getting better. People who doesnt know about MMA would even compare GSP to Silva. "Ohh GSP is evolving too he is the prototype" lol. But this is wrong.

There is no comparison, Silva is getting to a point where he is not getting hit anymore (along with Machida) His guard although not as effective as Maia is more menacing with strikes from the bottom, his TD has improved.

Everytime he throws, his connect rate is absurd. He has excellent tactics and is very efficient.

He is the most evolved fighter in MMA just like Tuffnutz said. All Im saying is, for me he is the best p4p fighter and definitely has a chance against Fedor.

 

I'm sorry but I don't thinkSilva easily beats Timmy or AA, not like Fedor did. Everyone who has fought fedor says he is stronger then you'd think and his killer instinct is unmatched. I see it going basically straight to the ground with Fedor pummeling Silva into oblivion. Who has Silva fought that is anywhere close to Fedor in terms of skill? Fedor has fought great strikers as well as great juijitzu guys. Silva beat up Franklin and Hendo, neither which are close to Fedors level.

 

Silva easily beats Sylvia, Vera a small heavyweight with a broken hand gave Sylvia some problems and this is not styles makes fights, Silva is similar but superior to Vera

 

It's true. Silva has never faced anyone with the power or ground and pound of Fedor. Also, while Fedor may not have the wrestling cred of a Dan Henderson, he is much bigger and a MASTER of bringing fights to the ground. Silva would have to be EXTREMELY elusive to make sure he isn't taken down, because Fedor can bust him up badly even IF he is able to lock up a body triangle on Fedor's relatively huge body. Being able to put Hendo in a body triangle isn't the same as doing it to Fedor, who seems to have a MUCH larger chest.

 

He could lock on a body triangle all he wants to, Fedor is strong enough to stand up with it locked on and rain down deadly strikes. I don't think I want to lock a body triangle onto Fedor its too restricitive, I don't want to be locked to Fedor at all, I want to stay away from Fedor.

 

I think Fedor's biggest problem could be Silva's elusiveness and possible counters with high kicks and flying knees, while Fedor tries for the takedown. He's much quicker than Arlovski, or possibly even Crocop. Silva's got heavier hands than people give him credit for, James Irvin fought at heavyweight for most of his career and Silva demolished him with punches.

 

"A good big man beats a good small man." So...I think it's true that "The best HW will beat the best MW."
Silva's awesome, but it'd be extremely good luck for him to beat Fedor. If he were the same size as Fedor...I'd pick him.

 

When? What evidence is there he's getting better on the ground?

 

Why does this even matter when Silva was actually stopped by less-than-stellar competition (Takase, Chonan)? Let's not forget him getting mounted by Travis Lutter of all people. But again, what does it matter? Both guys have improved since these respective bouts.

Fedor doesn't have the complete skill set of Silva? atsch What are you smoking? Silva is the technically superior striker, but Fedor is at least equal or better in everything else, especially with his wrestling/takedowns, which would eat Silva alive if they fought. Silva's wrestling is relatively ****. That, combined with Fedor's vicious ground game, would be the difference in a fight between the two. Yes, I know Silva is a BJJ black belt, but do you see him sweeping Fedor or catching him in a submission? I sure as hell don't. But wait, I know what you're gonna say. Let me save you some typing. "It's MMA. Anything can happen."

 

There's nothing Silva can do to Fedor on the ground. NOTHING. If Silva's bigger, stronger master couldn't wtf is he gona do?
