What Fight Made you a Believer in Anderson Silva?????

What fight made you say ok this guy is fucking legit and worthy of the hype?????


For me it was first Franklin fight, the Leben fight was impressive but I was not a huge Leben believer

Before he entered the UFC

you thought he was best fighter in the world or 1 of the 3 to 5?

I didnt

congrats to you if ya did you talent spotter you

I saw him beat Newton at Pride but then he lsot at the next one so I didnt know what to make of him, then the Chonan fight happened

I thought he was a good fighter and could give anyone a fight but I will admit I had no fucking clue he was this amazing or was about to go on an amazing run like this in the UFC

The question isn't when I thought he was the best fighter in the World though

great point LA I worded the OP horribly

ok well then if you havent voted jsut pick what you thought was his most impressive win or the won that made you say fuck

I will admit if Sila was getting a shitload of hype before UFC days I wasnt aware, I knew of him but never thought he would be doing this

when he controlled Franklin in that clinch I was like holy shit

remember when Franklin controlled Edwin DeWees in the MuayThai clinch

Poor Edwin better thank his lucky stars he never faced Silva

also main reason I was somewhat skepticle of Silva was his decision with Otsuka

a guy that I watched Ken Shamrock and Guy Mezger bounce all around the fucking ring so I was like ehhhh when he couldnt finish him

I was wrong

It was Franklin the second time around.

i always thought he was a baddass though.

LEBEN

he looked different with regards to range and technique compared to what I saw in Japan

then vote for it !!!!!

Hendo got me saying it. I always doubted Silva. I thought Franklin had lost his edge the first fight and was scared the second. I made all the excuses I could. When he beat Hendo I accepted him as a champ. I still think he has had some easy match ups in the UFC. Here I go again. Nah the dude is a top p4p fighter and I know it.

hey atleast your man enough to admit it

I honestly wasnt sure he could beat Henderson either

Until it happened

Since the Chonan fight wasn't an option I went with his 2nd fight against Franklin.
