In pure technique?
The adapted MMA style of fightning itself (aka "mma boxing/stirking", "mma wrestling", "mma jiu-jitsu"😉 isn't very advanced but it does attracts people who within those discipliens themselves are very advanced, i.e. top level wrestlers like Brock Lesnar, strikers like Machida (probably greatest karate master int he world) and Anderson, jiu-jitsu guys like Fabricio Werdum and Demion Maia.
In pure striking Anderson Silva is possibly most skilled guy on the planet right now.
Stop trolling bro.

Vitor is probably faster.

As in completely stirpped form the Force? Nah. What makes you think Maul would be that great without the force in just a fist fight? MMA fighters train full time in the discipline and Anderson is best of the best.
