( Remind me to never to snap a wet towel at that guy!) but that " Yeeaaaaaaw" does bring back some memories. So just how does someone like Anderson Silva get to be so good? Well, we've uncovered top-secret video of Anderson's training routine, and well he seems to look a lot like someone familiar. There we could see him go up against the likes of Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffin, or Quinton Jackson. With no one on the radar for possible competition, many of us are hoping that Silva will pack on some serious weight and jump up to the Light Heavyweight Division. Henderson put up a fantastic fight, but right now Anderson Silva's on the top of his game.
The fight was ended by submission with seconds left on the clock. After a clinch along the side of the cage, Silva was able to land a knee kick to Henderson's head and drop him to the mat.Īfter a bit of ground and pound, Silva took Henderson's back and methodically stretched him into a rear naked choke.
The second round opened with more head and leg kicks from Silva, who quickly regained momentum. Even against a real pro like Henderson, Silva opened the fight with a load of powerful head kicks ( something not seen often in MMA events.) Even while caught in a side mount and taking hammerfists and elbows during the first round, Silva looked calm, relaxed, and composed. There just isn't anyone left in the 185lb division who can pose a challenge to this man. With Anderson Silva's crushing defeat of the only person anywhere near his ability, Pride Champion - Dan Henderson, the burning question around MMA water coolers this week is "Who will Silva fight next?"
