Profile: Mixed Martial Artist Anderson The Spider Silva

[qaching]

fucking legend

very very surprised he got owned by chael sonnen though

[wonphi]

I hope when he does decide to retire, it would be at a well planned and good time. Age is always a factor when it comes to athletic skills, and the body will begin to slowly degenerate after a certain point. I don't want him to only retire when he starts to degenerate and have his records tainted. Silva is one of my favourite fighters.

[kaijenkinsmusic]

hes not retied and still knocking everyone out in 2011 lol

[TheBestBoxingGame]

Tyson is retired, everyone in the world knows him..everyone knows Silva even now ? Think not..

[Lilscheppy1995]

one of the top fighters in his weight class.........he IS the top fighter prob in the ufc

[jokerxXxjenny]

i want to be his disciple

[FootballFanatic141]

one of the top middleweights? no one is in his league. most profficient strikers? hes the best striker ever. and no he is nothing like Mike Tyson, more like Ali if you were gonna compare him to a legendary boxer

[rfantetti]

any one doesnt believe hes the best havent seen all his fights please watch my hd anderson silva highlight video click on my name and you will see like as well please but PLEASE WATCH

[fara0n]

The most overrated fighter in history guys!!!!!! i see the fight vs chael sonnen and is ridiculous

[hdrcruz]

@fara0n Chael Sonnen? The one that lost?

[BadConquedence]

@fara0n That was one fight and he still won you must be a Fedor nutthugger.

[fara0n]

@BadConquedence Not all people what say that need be a fedor fan ...... WWE nutthugger

[BadConquedence]

@fara0n So you have the inability to determine whether a fighter have skill or not. Anderson Silva is one of the most skilled guys in mma. Most guys in MMA don't even know how to throw a correct punch and the other half like's to lay on guys for decisions this guy do neither. And Chael Sonnen is a great wrestler Silva greatest weakness Chael was suppose to dominant that fight.

[fara0n]

@BadConquedence yea he very skilled but i think he overrated , and i train MMA thai-box,kick,jjb and for sure i can determine if one skilled or not

[BadConquedence]

@fara0n The guy has been one of the best way before he entered the UFC. Silva was not called one of the best P4p until he easily handle Dan Henderson and we all know Dan is a hard fight for anyone. The guy has been dominating good fighters for the last 5 or 6 years with the exception of Chael but Chael is a great wrestler. What we think or believe really doesn't matter the facts say that Anderson Silva is one of the best P4p period who do you have for #1 P4p fighter.

[jakedanx]

@fara0n you mean the one where silva had a broken rib and it came out afterwards that sonnen was on drugs? is that the one? lol you clearly have only ever seen him fight once..... he has NEVER lost in the ufc EVER FACT! get educated.

[fara0n]

@jakedanx never lost in UFC but in PRIDE he was raped by 2 little japaneseeee haha UFC jokeee

[jakedanx]

@fara0n hes actually lost 4 times ufc a joke? Most of the fighters thats fought in pride now fight in the ufc so what are you talking about

[fara0n]

@jakedanx becouse PRIDE was destroyed by ZUFFA , for me the HW division is a throw punchs with no style all wrestlers and no skill , will see Ubereem will rape all UFC HW division in 1 day , i like the LHW division i think they need to do GP ... now SF is property of ZUFFA and now UFC can be the best MMA company , peace

[jakedanx]

@jakedanx mate to says there is no skill is silly, bjj is now a dominant style in the sport that growing all the time

[bumblebeeetuna]

@jakedanx do ur research about the sonnen fight. sonnen has a medical condition which requires him to take those drugs

[jakedanx]

@bumblebeeetuna oh and did this condition effect his ability to inform the commision? NO!

[bumblebeeetuna]

@jakedanx no it didnt but u make it sound like he was roiding up and poor silva had broken ribs so he didnt perform the best of his abilty blahblahblah

[JOAOBUNITAO]

@bumblebeeetuna lmao RIGHT.... silva had a cracked rib and sonnen had steroids look his acne back toooooooomuchhhhh roods don't defend his cheating

[1020302505]

BRASIL SIL SIL SIL SIL SIL SIL SIL SIL SIL SIL SIL SIL SIL SIL SIL SIL

[ambrosia56]

more like this generation's roy jones jr.

[templepilot666]

This generations mike tyson my ass their two completely different fighters with no similarities in style at all! all they have in common is that they dominate their sport and do things inside and outside the ring that is unique

[Kstyles89]

Im like a kid version of him. hes my idle alonq with gsp

[1901chica]

silva could knock out mayweather!

[ncconstanzaba]

I hope that when his time to retire comes, he'll be smart enough to see it and accept it, so he won't be remember as the great star who fell, but as the great fighter he's been. I love him!

[ocabafox]

THIS generation's MIKE TYSON??.. what the h*ck?!??...not even a single piece of POWER anderson inherited from tyson, only their skins are the same. STFU!

[bruenor82]

silva vs bas

what a fight tt will be

[guzthetaker93]

i seriously think tyson could kill him, in a boxing match

[RasOye]

@guzthetaker93 Tyson at his prime could beat God

[MyNutsAreCold]

@guzthetaker93 Tyson probably would beat Silva... in a boxing match. But if they fight in their respective styles, I honestly believe Silva would do just fine against Tyson. Even though Tyson is much bigger, he wouldn't know how to defend against Silva's Muay Thai.

[guzthetaker93]

@MyNutsAreCold

i think he would kill mot of the guys in mma, cause its a diferent sport, and he got the ower

[LiNaK37]

@MyNutsAreCold Tyson much bigger? Anderson is bigger than Mike dude, they weigh the same but Anderson is 3 inches taller.

[forgotyoured]

I'm a big Anderson Silva fan but i would not go as far as calling him "this generation's Mike Tyson".

[NHSALUM07]

he's no tyson...

[HACHETHARRY95]

haha i fail to see how he is anything like mike tyson.

[yohay1983]

He is great but faaaaaaarrr from being the next Mike Tyson

[vicehoundelite]

shes hot

[JUSTINOMALINO]

hes alot smarter than miek tyson. i dont think hes gonan let the fame go to his head:P he will be a bigger name than tyson if he keeps this up maybe

[thepunisher300]

anderson said he will retire after next fight..i train in the same gym as him and he told me this personally..

[JUSTINOMALINO]

@thepunisher300 for some reaon i dont believe u at all lmao

[RegistrationCop]

@JUSTINOMALINO He will be getting out of his prime soon. 35 is getting close to over the hill. And don't mention Randy Couture, he's an exception because he's just good at dirty boxing and wrestling. Silva's striking style requires speed, agility and youth.

[Crip420211]

wat a bitch move gsp says he has no respect for him cause of his last fight gsp just a pussy dont look at his presntday fights look at the daybute and old past fights gsp just a pussy

[Napalmreaper]

Haha suck his dick you goddamn crackers.

[RegistrationCop]

@Napalmreaper I won't, but you can.

[Lrdvltr]

This dumb bitch doesn't know the meaning of the words she's saying.

[drex48239]

@Lrdvltr most of what she says is direct plagiarism from other people that have talk about his style

[HEADSTOMPSPECIALIST]

awesome fighter like FEDOR and BAS 3 of the bes fighter of all time los mejores neta que si

[ninhogasper]

He is the best!

[XxLifeDemisexX]

most chokes are meant to cut blood not air you jezebel

[Kemics101]

@XxLifeDemisexX

well....no....thats why they are called "chokes" because they disable the airways. Holds which cut blood flow are more effective however.

[redashea1]

gsp vs rashad needs to happen

[kingcraig]

wont happen there friends and are in 2 diff weight classes and they train together

[Tsaunders1307]

haha what?

[munk25]

I will beat the shit out of Anderson.

just a joke guys ....

[JakeB731]

he can beat anyone

[8ballmoe]

not brock lesnar or fedor or dos santos

[KsFiredog]

Those guys are heavy weights! He fights at 185 or 205. He is unstoppable at those divisions...

[8ballmoe]

i dont know i think Shogun might get anderson. and lil nog a throw down too

[kingcraig]

he coaches the nogs on striking so liil nog will get beat and he used to train with shogun at chutebox

[comnenul]

not exactly

he had been defetead so he is not invincible

[DevineKnightMare]

Can he beat Fedor?

[BlueNose1690i]

Simple answer ? No.

[8ballmoe]

naw he'll get submitted for sure

[comnenul]

big difference in weight category but would be an interesting bout betwnn them two

[kingcraig]

easy answer yes

[Unlimited035]

gotto <3 the clinch

[fuseone]

since when is he a bb in judo?

[doctorsizzle]

and if you think about it...like everything involving money...theres drama and politics.

imagine NOG versus Brock...man DANA would have a fit having a Brazilian as the heavyweight champ.

he wants Brock at all costs...

[doctorsizzle]

for the record...the fight with mir and nog was not an accurate measure of who NOG is as a fighter.

what you UFC only viewers fail to understand is that NOG fought in PRIDE in japan. there when a fighter is downed the refs DO NOT IMMEDIATELY stop the fight. NOG has been in that situation thousands of times.

in UFC...as soon as the fighter starts throwing punches on top the ref will stop the fight.

there is no way NOG will lose to MIR? in PRIDE rules MIR would be done.

[doctorsizzle]

most american mma fighters are average.

it's not their fault...totally. it's a problem with training.

it follows our creed...adding techology over the basics. as a result our fighters fail badly. there's also too much of a focus on POWER, POWER, POWER.

i guess that follows our creed too.

too bad...maybe we'll learn.

[ThEmAkAvELii]

xxkiraly96xx

You Fool how can you relate to a game?

Tyson was not a brawler he was fucked up in the head lol he was a great fighter tho

and Silva is great :D

[limoeras]

His opponents are not bad fighters , the point is...Anderson Silva is beyond the imagination ...the magic of mma

[D0ughboythegreat]

silva vs rashad is what i want 2 c

[DAORIGINALC65]

silva vs machida rashad would just get eaten up

[sssssspierdalaj]

he even -- CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH --

stupid stupid stupid dubass

retarded monkey,

even monkey in the zoo can learn to beat in the head each other

[mritchie85]

Hes Brazilian he speaks Portugese u fuckin dumb bitch, no need for English u cunt

[Paratrooper177]

@sssssspierdalaj He could kick your ass and not even have to speak to you, ass backwards redneck.

[xxkiraly96xx]

do you think the most important thing in the world is speaking english

i bet you don't know nothing about the world outside america

can you speak portugese

[THAspencer]

i bet you wont say that to his face

[dagonlord32002]

this generation's mike tyson.....???

[jakedanx]

@dagonlord32002 i know right?? he would shit on tyson

[tpbisdivine]

@dagonlord32002 he'd kick Tyosn's ass lol

[oogp]

wow :)

[xxxkiralyxxx45]

hahaha mike tyson

i didn't know silva is a brawler

[thenewgeneration123]

tyson aint a brawler you idiot

[xxkiraly96xx]

hahahhahaha alright tyson is a technical fighter who works the jab alot :D

of course tyson is a brawler

[thenewgeneration123]

Are you an idiot? He use his jab to get close to his opponent, do you think he should stay at distance and trying to jab with guys that 20cm taller then him? IDIOT

[xxkiraly96xx]

he rushes in you fool

everybody knows that tyson wasn't very technical and that he was a brawler

[thenewgeneration123]

@xxkiraly96xx every fool thinks that tyson is a brawler, like yourself

[xxkiraly96xx]

even the trainer of arthur abraham says that tyson was a brawler

he is a brawler in fight night round 4

[thenewgeneration123]

@xxkiraly96xx a brawler is some1 who swing for the fences with power shots

tyson hade greate footwork and head movement, speed etc = Tyson was not a brawler

[xxkiraly96xx]

tyson was swinging and speed has nothing to do with it and tyson great head movement butt not  footwork

[thenewgeneration123]

@xxkiraly96xx No footwork? Dude comment back when you know anything about boxing, okey?

[xxkiraly96xx]

you're the one who has to learn about boxing

[thenewgeneration123]

yeah right mr internet boxer

[blakTiGGeRXXX]

you see guys this wat i dnt get

how sum ppl talk so much shit about this man even sayin his fights are flukes n he suks like wtf

this is a fantastic fighter who truly epitomizes wat dedication and commitment to martial arts could lead u

long live the spider

[oceanside1322]

hahaha mike tyson lol fuck out uh here

[snakevaletudo]

in the begining she is at GSPs gym

[deezo60]

whoever said Nog is garbage ur a fuckin idiot, he is the one who trains Anderson Silva in bjj.

[Moderm101]

whos is he figting at 50 secodns in?

[confidential94]

James Irvin

[bobert1223]

Modern- If you're referring to the guy who tried to kick Anderson and got knocked out, it would be James Irvin during their fight at 205 lbs. But the bald guy that Silva is choking out would be Travis Lutter.

[TheMadafada]

you mother fucker!! nog is one of the best heavyweight in the history of MMA..your not a mma your a fashion fanatic

[07stylin07]

ohhhh and nog is garbage look what mir did 2 him it will b way worse with silva

[AlbuquerqueNM505]

nog isnt garbage you piece of shit whos been watching mma for 1 month.

[aaronCapricorn]

nog is a tank. respect the tank!

[blusuck]

well if you get run over by a truck you gotta be hahahahahahahaha nogz da man

[XMMAFANX]

Your are such an idiot. He trains Silva in BJJ and Silva trains him in striking. The day before his Frank Mir fight, he was in the hospital, so he wasn't 100%. And if you were a real MMA fan, you'd know that respect is the first thing learned in any Martial Art.

[07stylin07]

wtf yall are fukkin stupid!!! if you are a fighter in the ufc you dont get 2 pick who the fuck u fight against!!!! if silva continues 2 dominate and machida does to then they are going 2 fight dumb asses

[demo182]

WTF is up with ppl saying 'oh let see him fight big Nog or Machida'...u ppl even watch MMA, those guys are very good friends and that it will be just low to fight each other for a belt. But ppl have that when machida and silva spars, machida usually wins.

Anyways a lot of BJJs are good friends, if anything Wanderlei would be a BJJ fighting silva because he was unhappy that silva trained an American against him aka Rich Franklin.

[MMANARCHY]

dont worry about silva fight nog or machida, there practically brotheres and said they wont fight eachother. war silva

[theanimalisraw222]

i would LOVE to see nogueira step down to 205 and silva step up to 205 and those to fight. i know it wont happen i just would like to see it.

[felip77]

watch me sparr (NOW LIVE) just click on felip77

[fukr88]

cara o anderson eh melhor striker q existe...

[fukr88]

cara o andersoné o melhor striker q existe!!!!

[Mrpyro89]

The two most interesting fights Dana can make in the UFC is Silva vs. Machida and Silva vs. GSP, in my opinion

[beeryce88]

Likely Machida... Silva said he might stay at Light Heavyweight, and to fight GSP, GSP would have to pack on like 35 lbs. If Silva made his way back to middleweight, then yeah... but he says he wants to stay at LH, so it's likely he'll be fighting Machida before GSP... I really hope it's soon too... Machida does stand a chance for sure.

[jake4859]

its announced that silva will not fight gsp i saw it on a banner on the fight channel.

[sweepmaster0011]

machida and silva would be a boring fight. in my opinion cause both these guys are counter guys and neither would throw the first punch. what do you guys think about that match up?

[lamrof]

I agree, they both want to avoid being hit and want to be technical rather than brawl. So it it will be a boring fight and will end in a decision.

[nogifunk]

i have no idea who your talking about but im going to guess. Machida and Silva??

[a69a59b]

dude i thought griffin would kill silva.

boy was i fucking wrong i was impressed!

[5P3NC312]

I say Silva vs. Machida, that would be interesting.

[jdebruhl2]

Man He beat Forrest like a drum. Not even in the same league as Silva.

[DiddytheDisturbedDuc]

one of the top fighters in his weight class? how about the best on the freaking planet. hes better p4p then anyone else, only gsp can compare really.

cant even bring up fedor, that bitch is scared to fight in the ufc

[Esotrepid]

This generations mike tyson? I like anderson silva, but thats a terrible comparison lol, they have nothing in common...They're both fast and aggressive? That's about it.

[mrfly123451]

when he lost to yushin okami he got dis =qualified 4 an illegal up kick on ur back when ur on ur knees and the reosen he did that was because in pride thats ok to do

[popdaddy333]

lyoto machida and anderson silva would be an amazing fight but would rather see GSP anderson silva one gain wieght one loose wieght meet in the middle because they are probly 2 of the most tactical fighters in the UFC

[xXxSpiritriverxXx]

silve would leave gsp trying to grease himself up to save his life then get bloodied up by silvas muay tai

[Bilderbergz]

fuck anderson his a cocky pice of shit... lyoto machida would fuck this guy up... lets see if they fight one day that would be an epic fight.

[alvarez4500]

bilderbergz how is he cocky?? he has never bragged

besides, he doesn't want to fight machida, they are best friends and training partners, he said he is holding the belt for middleweight while his pal lyoto does the same for light heavyweight

[irishmonster42]

machida sucks ass u dipshit

[RemzOrNever]

FEDOR FOR LIFE!!!

[TheFutureOfMma7777]

THE ALI OF MMA

Anderson Spider Silva

[TheFutureOfMma7777]

Btw, Melvin Manhoef is the Mike Tyson of mma.

[pieceofparadox]

That's fucking stupid, the best MMA fighter of all time is Fedor Emelianenko

[watchmyshoes22]

nigga plz

[pieceofparadox]

The best P4P fighter right now?

Probably Anderson Silva.

But it'll be weak to say he had a better career than him since the first half of Anderson Silva's career consists of losing to Japanese mid-level fighters.

[watchmyshoes22]

Ok thats more like it

[enterthesleep]

He didn't lose THAT many times but yeah completely agreed. Fedor is the best ever but possibly not the current best.

[phenomwwe]

"fighters" no one fighter he lost to

[pieceofparadox]

He lost to Ryo Chonan, Yushin Okami and Takase.

[enterthesleep]

GOAT for sure but possibly not the current best. Arlovski and especially Sylvia have more or less proven that they're washed up.

[thiz1ogee]

fedor is scared to fight brock you fucking bitch ass russian

[fukr88]

your fucked ass motherfucker

the best is anderson spider silva

[CLOVERCITYY15]

FEDOR FIGHTS NOBODYS...NOT THE BEST

[pieceofparadox]

Mirko Filipovic, Anotonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Tim Sylvia, Andrei Arlovski and Mark Coleman are more well respected than Patrick Cote, James Irvin and Travis Lutter.
