 ANDERSON
SILVA
Anderson “The Spider” Silva dominates the middleweight class in mixed martial
arts. With an extensive resume of title wins across a number of fighting leagues,
various MMA sources have ranked this Brazilian competitor as the number one
middleweight in the world.
Prior to joining the ranks of the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2006,
Silva contended in home country’s organization MECCA, Shooto, PRIDE Fighting
and Cage Rage.
Within just six months under the UFC banner, The Spider took the middleweight
title from Rich Franklin by decimating him in the first round with knees to
the body, locked in by a Muay Thai clinch. Finally, a knee to the face broke
Franklin’s nose to end to match.
Silva combines Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu techniques to deliver overwhelming
strikes and skillful grappling ability, making it apparent why some argue him
to the greatest pound-for-pound MMA fighter in the world.
