To anyone who thinks Silva is not a great fighter, point blank stop watching this sport right now. You hillbillies are all on his case because he beat dan henderson (an American Olympian) and because he has to have an interpreter during interviews. Silva is poetry in motion, graceful rage, with the accuracy of Lee Harvey Oswald. He’s easily the most impressive fighter to watch. As far as him not being a good sport, I would probably be in a sour mood in the post fight interview too after Dan Henderson spent the better part of a round with his hand over my mouth trying to restrict my breathing. Its not illegal but I’m sure it would piss a guy off.

It’s funny how emotion get in the way of logic. Some yahoo wrote Silva is “not a great fighter”. Say no to drugs.

Most of these yahoos don’t know what they’re talking about. Just because your “Boy” didn’t win or has’nt gotten a recent title shot doesn’t give you the right to rag on Silva. He’s an excellent technician that STILL has’nt had a fight make it past the 2nd round sinc he came to the UFC. This was ’supposed’ to be a real test for him, but he just did what he’s been doing since he got there, WIN.

Manley go and ask 10 true mma fans or mma fighters who the number 1 fighter in the world is and I guarantee Anderson Silvas name will be mentioned the most.

ANDERSON SILVA IS THE REAL DEAL! he’s a black belt in bjj and muay tuay. his strikes are deadly accurate and forceful and his submissions are deadly as well. hendo’s tongue looked like a dart that was going to come flying out before he submitted. silva has taken those who were thought to be the best, and made them look average!

Manley get a clue! No ground game? He is a BBJ. He submitted Hendo is one of the best forces on the ground. He is the real deal and will soon prove that even more when he competes in two weight division; 185 and 205.

anderson silva is not the best fighter in the world in any sence of the title… “best fighter in the world” if he faught like henderson did (switching weight classes) he wouldn’t last one f****** fight! sure he’s a good fighter.. but he’s not a great fighter! his record isn’t anything to really boast about and his ground game is definately something to work on. a fighter in mma who doesn’t have complete full circle fighting skills isn’t meant to last in this sport.

ANDERSON SILVA DOESNT TALK MUCH SMACK ATLEAST IN ENGLISH HE TOUCHED GLOVES WITH HENDERSON DURING THE STAREDOWN WHEN THE BELL RANG ITS TIME TO SCRAP!!! HENDERSON WAS TALKING TOO MUCH SMACK AND THATS WHY WHEN THE BELL RANG SILVA WAS EAGER TO COME OUT AND LET HIS FIGHTING SPEAK FOR ITS SELF AS FOR SILVA BEING A BORING FIGHTER BRA COME ON NOW ARE YOU SERIOUS THE MAN IS THE CHAMP AND I REALLY DONT SEE ANY MIDDLEWEIGHT EVEN GIVING HIM A CHALLENDGE NOT OKAMI OR BISBING OR EVEN FRANKLIN I THINK HE NEEDS TO MOVE UP TO 205 AND MAYBE SOMEONE IN THAT WEIGHT CLASS COULD POSSIBLY GIVE HIM A FIGHT THAT MIGHT MAKE IT PASS THE SECOND ROUND
