Anderson Silva is the kind of fighter that comes by only once in a lifetime.
He went from being an exciting journeyman competing in promotions all across the globe, to finding a home in the UFC and becoming the most dominant champion it has ever seen.
UFC President Dana White recently called Anderson “the greatest fighter in MMA history”.
With unparalleled movement and creativity, commentator Joe Rogan famously dubbed Silva’s fights a “ballet of violence.”
His speed is often on another level than his opponents, again compelling Rogan to say, “It’s like he’s moving inside the Matrix.”
When Anderson Silva fights, you never know what is going to happen, but chances are it is going to be something you have never seen prior.
Later this summer Silva will defending his belt yet again, this time in his home country of Brazil and against probably the best Japanese fighter currently competing in MMA—Yushin Okami.
