Although, at the same time, I can see Silva somehow pulling it out fast.Hmm...
No doubt, he has a iron chin, and he's only been subbed twice. I just think he'll wear Silva down in a 5rd fight.

Silva is going to kick Hendo's @ss.
I would not put money on it. Just look what he did to Wandelei for reference. Mind you Wandy is bigger than both Hendo and Anderson and is just as big a striker as Anderson. I think Hendo beats Anderson the same way he beat Wandy.

IMO Hendo can negate Silva's striking anytime he wants... He'll dictate where the fight is going to be.
Originally posted by Caps ConscienceAgree, but ANderson has a pretty tough head. he sparred with Big Nog in boxing and while Nog was wearing head gear, Anderson was taking all the hits with no head gear.

anyway, that wasn't really my point for this post. Anderson really needs to move around in this fight. Like Misaki did against Hendo and got the Win which shocked many people.
I also think Hendo will be Silva's toughest challenge yet. Thus far, he's been impossible to knock out & he's a better striker than a wrestler should ever be, but Silva will show why he's the best pound4pound fighter in the world. Also, Wandy is tough & all, but I doubt he's as good a technical striker as da spida. Wandy's an agressive, mean, brawler w/evil knees IMO.
Silva is the best p4p? that i do not believe. just cuz Dana White said it, doesn't mean it's a fact. i mean, maybe u have ur reasons, but i dont see how.
P4P right now, i'd say Nogueira.
edit: Dana White is the same guy who said Japan had no talent.
Anderson, Rampage and Nogueira are all holding his belts.
Has anyone seen that Fight Science programme on National Geographic?
It's pretty amazing. They have Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, Bas Rutten and Dean Lister on there hitting a crash dummy that measures force etc. They compare their techniques to martial arts masters of specific disciplines.
I believe it's on YouTube.

You know what's shocking, Dean Lister is not as successful of a fighter as he should be.
his credentials are incredible.
2 Time U.S. National Sambo champion
4 Time U.S. Machado National Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Champion (weight class and open classes)
National Gracie Jiu Jitsu champion
He's also competed many times in ADCC. He has one many grappling matches in and out of ADCC and holds records in ADCC.
He usually starts out great in his fights, but tends to just give up towards the end, or he doesn't think straight. Cant really understand his game plans at times.
Originally posted by wuTaSilva is not stronger. He definitley has less power in his hands as well. it's just Silva's precision that makes him such a great fighter.
I have Hendo taking this one, but I see him as the underdog, Silva is stronger and lenghter, one major thing Hendo have over him is experience.
Silva needs to do what Misaki did against Hendo. Move around, and make him chase u around.

He's a stud on the ground, but in MMA he struggles.
