By Dorothy Willis Next, Dana publicly maligned the UFC's best pound for pound Middleweight, Anderson Silva, for "not having an exciting fight" with Thales Leites. Being a proud champion, this chastising did not go over well with Ed Soares or Anderson, (or me either).

By Darren Wong The winner of this fight will have proven himself to be the current UFC middleweight with the best chance of defeating Anderson Silva.

By Maggie Hendricks 5. Anderson Silva: In the second half of the decade, Silva has been unstoppable. Currently, he is riding an 11-fight winning streak. In his career, he has wins over Forrest Griffin, two over Rich Franklin, Dan Henderson and the best fighter impressions on the planet.

By Josh Nason The middleweight division has really been ramping up in the past few months, even with the departure of Dan Henderson. With middleweight champion Anderson Silva (hopefully) set to defend against Vitor Belfort at February's UFC 109, the winner will have either the winner of Bisping/Sil...

By Sterling Spiars He also trains with some elite fighters such as his brother, Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, Junior dos Santos, Paulo Filho, and Ronaldo Souza. His striking is clean and very quick, but he mainly uses it to obtain his clinch and work his wrestling game.

And, in the process, the WEC may have just unleashed the next dominating mixed martial arts champion -- this fight was eerily similar to when Anderson Silva introduced himself to the mainstream MMA world with his first dominat...

By Jesse Motiff Forrest Griffin has had his own sets of problems in recent months. White basically fed him to the wolves when he pitted him against Anderson Silva. Griffin was the perfect big-name punching bag that could boost Silva's presence in the light-heavyweight division. Griffin not only was beate...

By Chart Topper MMA for the longest time seemed like the domain of the trash talking, hype selling superstar, but a new breed of fighter seems to be emerging, one based more on talent, and sold less on his or her words. Names like GSP, Anderson Silva, and Machida come to mind to name a few, a select group of fighters who rarely if ever bash their opponents and prefer to settle matters in the ring. Fedor Emelianenko is the flagship of that group in this aspect, not only choosing to never bash an opponent but rather giving them respect whenever possible. Long have many, many MMA hardcore fans heralded Fedor Emelianenko as the worlds greatest fighter, but he’s never seemed to be able to get the popularity that many of his peers enjoy, especially in North America. If th...   [read the full post]

By Bryan Levick What's next for him is unclear at this moment. There are some tough middleweights available for him to fight.

By Chart Topper In a recent interview with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s manager, Ed Soares, he assured Silva’s fans that the champ was NOT having surgery to his elbow and that he was 200% ready to fight. Whereas another report by ESPN MMA had stated that Silva was to undergo surgery. White said heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar recently underwent a similar bone spur removal procedure. “Contrary to whatever the hell [Silva] is saying, he’s not 200 percent healthy,” UFC president Dana White said. “He’s having some bone spurs removed from his elbow, which is a simple little procedure that happens, but you’ve got to have recovery time.” In a recent interview with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s manager, Ed Soares, he [...]   [read the full post]

By Scoop Malinowski MMAMemories: Who is the best fighter in the sport of MMA today? Is it you? Fedor: “I don’t consider myself the best. I would say some of the best fighters in the sport today are Josh Barnett, Gegard Mousasi, Georges St. Pierre, and Anderson Silva.”

By random_asshole Giving up the belt and moving to light heavyweight seems to be the only way for Silva to finish his current UFC contract, leave the UFC, and fight Roy Jones Jr.  So, is this the beginning of the end for Anderson Silva in MMA?  If so, is it possible he'd come back to the UFC after a fight with Jones?

By Tom On Saturday, Anderson Silva made a clear and unmistakable statement—he no longer takes the UFC, his fellow fighters, or the fans seriously. Luke Thomas of Bloody Elbow wrote that a fighter ready to go five rounds is the expectation when you're a champion in a UFC main event.
