Isn't it kind of amazing that two of the greatest fighters in the world (fedor and anderson) don't look physically to be particularly impressive physical specimens... and yet their dominance in fighting has been so absolute?

I think it's remarkable.

lol fucking skinny ass anderson

[cryme101]

@SmokingBirds you should be asking you're self that alot of people bruise easily and if you dont believe me ask one of you're skinny ass friends to hit you an see the results also the other guy was scoring points for every take down if you knew about the rules then we wouldn't be having this convo. Unless where there are at the dont judge by points....which is lamee

[SmokingBirds]

@cryme101 dunno what uve been watching. at the end silva helps the other one up. and just look at how silva walks away and how bruised the other one is...

[VCthaGOATdunker]

Fedor was always the fat guy who beat everybody and Anderson is the skinny guy who beat everybody. Love it. I'm gonna miss them when they're gone because I don't think we're gonna be seeing top fighters built like the average Joe in this era.

@RJackson808 To the untrained eye it's remarkable, these guys spend more time training in technique and knowledge and the mental aspect of Martial Arts than the "look at my six pack" aspect.

@Smileyfacedkiller Anderson never applied the rubber guard, at the time of this fight Bravo hadn't even "invented" it yet. He did have him in a triangle choke at the end when he was pounding on him though.

@cristiank91 you know this fight was 11 years ago right? anderson's a bjj black belt now. that's not enough jj for you?

@ofFanelia Yeah I know, I do Muay thai and sambo :). And it's pretty hard to get a good body with this. In Pancrace (we don't have MMA in France.....) a lot of people, especially in the light divisions, have an ugly body because the only thing they do is fighting. To avoid a shitty body, I workout 30 min a day when i do not have training, and i do 1H of swimming a week.

[ofFanelia]

@shibuyagto Most fighters don't look like fitness models because they don't train for looks, they train the parts of their body that they would use the most for fighting. Fighting doesn't give you a strong body, training does. But even so, you'd be hard pressed not to find a professional fighter that doesn't look impressive physically.

silva big time lost!!!! i donno what match the judge was watching???
