:dwillhuh: at the bolded. Anderson's resume has probably the most replay value of anyone in MMA. I've probably watched most of his KOs [Newton, Belfort, Leben, Fryklund,..] hundreds of times and still, I'm in awe.

Jones has some great fights as well, not Anderson level though.


Thats the key word there. KO's. Of course check back for the one spectacular aspect. But when it comes to overall fights, I would not even list a Silva fight in my top ten. He doesn't have classic, classic bouts like Fedor, Big Nog, Wandy, Diego, etc where every moment is just :banderas: Not to take anything away from SIlva as he is still the greatest, but he just does not have that aspect on his resume

stopped reading here, if u werent at least replaying jones's gusmao fight (where the story began), Bonnar fight (his breakout) or shogun (where he etched his name in history).Or any of anderson's fights (where u just have to marvel at greatness at work) then I dont know how you can call yourself an mma fan.Its like a basketball fan saying jordan's free throw line dunk/switch of hands layup or gamewinner against utah n d finals had no replay value :rudy: so called mma fans are cray

What is so special about him dominating cans and smaller lhw? Impressive? Yes. Worth replaying again? And lol@ the Jordan comparison. Tell me this. Would you watch those games in full or just skipped to the climatic moment while replaying it?

This motherfukker aint even an mma fan :russ:


Answer this question and if you feel the need to use one sentence/smilie combo don't bother responding. Name me on Silva fight better then Fedor/Cro Cop? Fedor/Big Nog(all three) Hell, Rampage is nowhere the caliber fighter SIlva is and he has more replayable, classic fights then silva

if you really need to ask you just arent a true fan of the sport and probably watch for the wrong reasons

So now you are twisted my words and deliberately lying? When have I mentioned in all my post that I don't like watching Silva? I just don't find the need to go rewatch the majority of his fights when its all said and done. :manny:

you are trying to downplay silva's catalog but comparing his fights to the best of the best.. it comes off like you trying to be different or just didnt watch silva coming up.. when you look back and watch them knowing he wont lose for years then sure the dominance is taken for granted.. idk how a catalog of striking combos that we dont even see done on cans or in lower level orgs being executed on the best of the best in the ufc is not top 10..
