    How does Anderson do it?

    His confidence and unorthodox style destroys opponents. I watch him and wish I was him. Wow is all I can say.

    I think he has something mental that let's him relax through all fights. He sees things clearly since he doesn't get flustered

    what a freakkk.. Im mainly happy he came out with some fire in round 2 and we didnt get a silva/maia all over again, I figured he wouldn't let that happen at home.

    every time he fights I get excited and can't wait to see what he will do next. I don't get that hyped up for any other fighter. He does things that are so unreal, but he makes them look so damn easy, like anyone could do it.

    exactly, way way more entertaining than GSP snoozefest takedown and girl hugging he does on the ground.

    After these past couple years I think I have to believe the best pound for pound fighter is Anderson. I had always thought it was GSP but tonight was icing on the cake.

    Japan's finest never stood a chance. Silva was dancing around letting Okami throw his punches. Okami has disgraced his people.

    GSP wouldn't know what to do with the matrix Silva fights in. I don't even want to see that fight. Let silva fight Jones.

    the thing is he usually do it to most of his opponents, that last leg kick he did to Belfort was out of this world. He makes you jump out of your seat, the best striker bar none.

    So basically what he says here is if it wasnt for him, Silva would never win a fight.

    Jones vs Silva would be epic. I would not bet on that fight though.

    Jones would crush Silva. We might as well put Silva against Cain while we're at it.

    at Segal training Silva. Segal may have trained with Silva for a short time but that isn't recent and Silva was already champ for awhile when he allowed Segal to spend time in his camp. Segal has nothing to teach Silva. Silva is possibly the greatest fighter ever. What is he going to learn from a guy that has never stepped in the octagon?

    I haven't been a fan of Silva because of the Cote, Maia, and Leites fights. I would love watching him fight all the time if he came out like this every fight. He was still bobbing and dancing, which is fine, but he was TRYING TO FINISH. He wasn't sitting back and screwing off. He was definitely fun to watch tonight.

    up until tonight,okami has been a very resilient fighter...but that straight jab that silva throws is like a laser beam...he crushed griffin with it......not sure if it`s the torque that he generates with his length or just the accuracy of it........

    whatever it is,it`s lethal...

    You're judging a guy from three fights. Yeah that's not unreasonable.

    Anderson breaks every standup rule imaginable. His hands are at his waist, his feet are planted and he sticks his chin out. Yet, he avoids getting punched and lands knockout blows.

    If you are great at an unorthodox style, you are going to be impossible to train for.

    His striking is somewhat influenced by capoeira and it really throws people off...he's the best at baiting people in and hitting them with a quick jab.

    Would love to see him fight Jones now.
