Two things we learned about MMA tonight............
Fedor is the best Heavyweight in the world and its not close.
Anderson Silva is the best pound for pound fighter in the world and its not close.

Silva beats a 3rd tier LHW in short fashion. Fedor beats a top 5 HW in 33 seconds. And you say Silva is the best P4P and it's not even close? All things considered one has to give that title to Fedor. In fact he HAS to be considered the greatest MMA fighter of all time. Dude's never lost a legitimate fight and look at the laundry list of wins: Nogueira twice, Arona, Coleman, Randleman, Goodridge, Cro Cop, Hunt, Herring and now the UFC's best HW over the past 2 and a half years. Now would Silva come in at a close second? No doubt about it, but until Fedor loses a legitimate fight, and until he starts struggling against 2nd and 3rd tier fighters you can't dethrone the Last Emperor. |

Silva in the past 2 1/2 years has beaten the likes of Dan Henderson, Rich Franklin (twice), Travis Lutter, Nate Marquardt, and Chris Leben. He has single handedly destroyed the 185 pound division. He just walked through a 205 pounder that needed extra time to make weight. I just read a rumor that he will fight the winner of Chuck and Rashad. If he walks through the 205 pound division then even you wont be able to deny the fact that he is the best pound for pound fighter in the world.

Let me add that Sherdog didnt even had Fedor ranked 4th before the Rampage loss. Now they have Anderson and GSP both ahead of Fedor in the pound for pound rankings.

But it wont happen with Penn and Silva, Silva is a true 185 pounder and Penn is 155. Penn (155) vs GSP (170) is rumored to be happening in December. If we see Anderson walk through the 205 pound division like he did at 185, then we may see Anderson vs GSP, but Dana White said he really doesnt want it to happen because of how much bigger Anderson Silva is, he fought at 205 last night and looked really good.

Why do you think I am so against other organizations? I dont want MMA to become like boxing where we never have a true champion. I want to see the best fighters fight each other. I think we can get close to that except for the pussy Japanese fighters that want to beat up on each other in Dream.

I think the only way Silva gets decent fights is by staying at 205. Dude walks around at 220. He looked to be 215 last night at fight time. Quote:

A lot of the DREAM fights are more entertaining than the UFC fights.
