Anderson Silva

By noreply@blogger.com (Greg Clark) I have to quote Sloan's piece about Anderson Silva vs. GSP: Silva/GSP aside for a moment... Did you catch that shot Mike Sloan took at you, the MMA fan? WTF? 1. Wrestling 2. Jiu-Jitsu 3. Striking Wrestling - Advantage GSP Jiu-Jitsu - Advantage Silva Striking - Advantage Silva Hmmm.. on paper, it looks like the Bitch is right but look again you'll see he is also regurgitating knowledge of a previous fight between Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson at UFC 82 in which Silva was able to submit Hendo by RNC in the second round.

By Greg Clark It is going to be the greatest MMA bout in the young history of Mixed Martial Arts. UFC 82: Pride of a Champion is on tomorrow and for me, the 2008 MMA season starts. The headlining match is between current UFC Middleweight Champion, Anderson Silva and current Pride FC Middleweight Champion, Dan Henderson.

Once there, Silva unloads knee strikes like nobody else in the UFC—all due respect to middleweight champion Anderson Silva. The “Axe Murderer” fires the knees with bad intentions, and if one happens to find his opponent’s jaw, it is lights out.
