Not only was Anderson Silva 43 years old, he had not fought in 2 years, and he went the distance with the current middleweight champion 15 years his junior. And people still dispute that he's the G.O.A.T. or that PEDs built his legacy.

[@Howling-Mad-Murdock]

Neelam Das I’d agree that his power came from precision and timing rather than Anthony Johnson beast mode power, but a fair few ko’s came from power rather than a strict accumulation. Leben, Irving, Marquadt, Griffin, Belfort, all finished quickly plus you only had to see his opponents reaction to being hit to know he hit really hard. You have a point though in that his ko’s were more his opponents curling up in a ball and signalling for the ref to stop it, instead of them being Ben Askren style stiff.

"Stop doing that' literally me watching Silva every time Silva gets punched with his hands down since the Weidman fight

[@iloverosenamajunas8082]

Oh you're one of those "hands up" guys... or as i like to call it the fighting experts

[@krylesangerbeaver]

@@iloverosenamajunas8082 when you get to your 40s, you normally are not as quick and may need to do a little more to not get punched in the face. Hands up would help with that. His recent defense has been walk forward and hope chin survives. Not an expert but i can Wiki his 1-6-1 record since weidman.

@@krylesangerbeaver yeah sure, you are the expert. The magical hands-shield man. Congrats

@@iloverosenamajunas8082 you don't get it, casual, he's got a point. Silva does still have amazing head movements, but they're not as quick as they used to be. He's human and age eats away all humans.

[@iloverosenamajunas8082]

@@jovanleon7 imagine thinking the "hands up" guy is not a casual and is right. What a joke

[@brianslack7111]

That’s one of the only fights I’ve watched more than once. It was awesome!

[@Migs-jn6vz]

Had to watch this fight again today... amazing fight! Izzy is the man but Anderson is the GOAT

[@unregierbar7694]

He is maybe the top fighter of this time. Im excited for the future.

my nigga he just has confidence in himself...you’re mental 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@connorpena373]

“Yeah I think I would lose to someone” makes more sense.

[@blazzz13]

@Matthew Swafford Conjecture 101- fact is we will never know.

[@woodah33]

Yeah but you can't knock the guy for having ultimate confidence in himself. That's the reason he's as good as he is.

[@NabilAbdulrashidComedy]

I’m glad Joe brought him back, very intelligent lad

[@DillanWalter15]

Man when you drop bombs like you do. Geek out all you want. Mad respect......

[@tiananman]

I'm not an expert but I remember seeing Silva 10+ years ago and thinking he was some kind of ninja. You don't need to be a master fighter to tell that he was on a different level.

[@killmax]

so glad he made the 52 blocks reference

[@OGLuckyLove]

One of a kind in their own right so much respect for anderson and izzy✊🏿

[@jeffreyabraham7051]

I feel like Anderson paved the way for many fighters and influenced many on different tricks as he introduced them to the octagon which many new fighters including Adesanya learned from. So 10 years ago I don't think Adesanya could beat him.

Joe “bet the HOUSE” Rogan

[@WhyForWhatNow]

I get the love for Israel outside the ring now, when Rogan asked him what "fugazi" means, dude didn't fluster st all, owned up and asked to be taught. GOAT

[@StrawanaCGC]

I love how he’s so gangster that he brought Naruto to the JRE. I bet you nobody has done that...
