Anderson Silva

Hi Bas,

Anderson Silva seems to dominant at the moment I can't see anyone touching him.

Do you think that he's the best pound for pound fighter in MMA and who do you see (if anyone) challenging him for the title?

thanks, all the best

Hey Chris,

Man, Silva is just very good, the question is, can he stay focused for every
fight that's coming up? it's very hard for the champ to keep that training
off. Now he seems to have no problem with that so I don't think it's going
to be a problem. Look at wanderlei, he was on top soo long, it's very hard
because everybody wants a piece of you. I had problems with it too, didn't
lose for many fights and to keep it up the whole time while you know the
other fighters are gunning for you is tough. Right now he looks really
freaking good and he will keep that up I think for a long time. GSP is the
same, really good right now and also has a good head on hsi shoulder, so
they will be winning for a long time. Believe it or not but a guy like Benji Radach
could be trouble for a guy like Silva, hard hitting and really good wrestling, you
need to take the fight to the ground with Silva because his striking is of the hook.
You need to be good in striking yourself so that you can attack him with good shots
and than when he counters (plants his feet) you can see if you can get a
takedown. Stay out of the guard and just thrwo bombs. When you are in the
guard you should use elbows.

It's going to be hard to find somebody who can beat him but everybody can
lose, esspecially if they fight top competition. If GSP could go to 185, that would be a great fight!

party on!
