I thought for a person to become dizzy he has to get hit in the head and not the body like Anderson Silva did.

Why does Rich Franklin look all dizzy when he only got hit in the mid section and not the head?

Now that Thiago has destroyed Jardine, I’m trying to figure out who would make a good next opponent for him en route to another title shot. Rampage and Evans are taken, Liddell has retired, and Wanderlei and Griffin are coming off two bad losses in a row. So I’m think Anderson Silva, the winner of which gets the title shot. If not Anderson (he is after all supposed to fight Hendo next) who in your opinion would make a good candidate for Thiago’s next fight? Tito Ortiz maybe?

PERSONALLY, i believe these 2 fighters are way ahead of the competiton but fighting wise id say anderson silva is better, hes just such a gifted striker that its incredible how he moves around the ring. fedor on the other hand is just a pure russian monster, hes strikes never stop coming and for his size hes an incredible combination of speed and power. well let me hear your thoughts!

If you were scheduled to fight anderson silva in the ufc what would be your gameplan?

Anderson Silva is considered by many to be the pound for pound best in the UFC and the MMA world. In your opinion, who do you believe is best capable of defeating Anderson Silva? I’m speaking of people who are in or very close to his weight class. In other words, don’t include heavyweights in your answer. I hope I’ve made this question clear enough.

When I learned these two fought each other I was perplexed. Machida a legitimate 205er, and Penn rather soft, but extremely dangerous at 170 I can’t imagine Penn fighting at 185 nor Machida at 185 or lower..??

So was this fight a huge weight mismatch? I don’t think Pride sanctioned their fight, but I know in Pride often light heavy weights would fight legitimate heavy weights.
"Kick in the Face" <EDIT>?
"titou" cool visuals. Thanks!

I knew Penn beat Matt Hughes for the welterweight belt some years back, but thought he quickly lost it back to him, well before gaining the Lw championship in a gory fashion.

The only fighter I can think of that held simultaneous title is "HENDO"(pride)

Possibly Couture, can’t remember, I know he was Lhw champ, and multiple time HW champ, at the same time, I’m not sure.?

Anderson Silva has record of 20-4 loses, so we know he can be beaten. Floyd Mayweather has a 39-0 loses. He has an advantage over Silva with his record and his hands are too fast for Silva to detect where they are going to hit.

Anderson Silva is the pound-for-pound BEST mixed martial arts fighter in the world. New reports and rumors are circulating saying that he will vacate his Middleweight title and finish his career fighting in the Light Heavyweight division. Since he’s already said it would take $10M+ for him to fight teammate and training partner Lyoto Machida (the current LHW champion), what LHW fighter seems to stand the best chance at actually defeating Silva?

UFC 101 coming up soon!
Anderson Silva is probably my favorite fighter in the UFC but you can’t dislike Forrest Griffin. It’s gonna be a good ass fight.
