Question

http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=dw-silva022808&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

i found this article about anderson silva and he is the new genration of mike tyson.. i mean he knocks everyone out..

is he going to knock dan handerson out like he did in last time?

Answer 1

hes a good fight but definitely not a new tyson. anderson's really good but tyson was killing people when he was 18-19. plus i have this gut feeling that the ufc is over exposing anderson right now. i definitely do not think he is the best pound for pound and i think the guys just in his prime just like other good fighters have. i think that if the ufc keeps giving this stardom stuff h**l end up somewhat like chuck liddell, just less partying. =)

Answer 2

Yeah i saw that.

The fight they are referring to is his first fight with Chris Leben. He is known for having a good chin. Silva knocked him out 49 with mike tyson style hit and move. He showed awsome power and great speed.
