What has two thumbs and is the best p4p fighter on earth?? THIS guy
Hello readers and happy super bowl Sunday! One of my usual and favorite columns to write about are my 100% factual statements (of opinion) that become apparent after the latest MMA event. In the interest of brevity, im going to limit it to 5 things going forward. This is a blog after all, not an e-version of War and Peace. That said here are 5 factual statements that you can take to the MMA bank...
1. Anderson Silva is the best fighter in the game. He has been dominant in the UFC since his first outstanding performance against Chris Leben. Silva has haters like all champions in all sports but when you look at what he has actually done in the cage, not any what-if scenarios, its pretty impressive. Hes tapped good grapplers and now he KOs a good mma striker in spectacular fashion. There really isnt any ones resume in the cage over the last 3 years that you can look at and place ahead of Silva.
2. Muay Thai is "back" as the BEST standup discipline for mma. Sure, it never left but it seems that a majority of casual fans have started questioning something that was frankly a given from the beginning of MMA. In the area that is stand up, you are best served to know how to strike with the greatest number of weapons possible. Muay Thai gives Anderson, Shogun, Cain (close to MT), and Aldo those weapons and they put em to use.
3. Jon Jones is the truth. He absolutely dominated a very solid Ryan Bader. Rather than talk about the fight against Shogun, lets give Bones some major credit for coming up big in a BIG fight for him. He made a statement!
4. Your ball, GSP. The mega fight that everyone is expecting just had the ante upped. The pressure is firmly on GSP to look excellent in his next fight against Jake Shields. Shields is a very tough opponent and will definitely test George on the ground. George cant turn in a jab happy performance in this case. We need to see his best.
5. Peace WEC. Your fighters are fighting well as they acclimate into the UFC talent pool. I certainly enjoyed watching the WEC over the years, but if these are the kind of cards we can can expect going forward, I say good bye WEC, respect but we MMA fans are better off without you!
