Who would you like to see fight anderson silva next and who do you think can beat him?

Question

i think the middleweight division is pretty good alot of good fights for silva b4 he thinks of going to light heavy weight leites,okami,cote,bisping,almeida,quarry... (maybe) wanderlei silva and a rematch with henderson i would also like to see another franklin match if franklin keeps winning, what do you think

Answer 1

I want to see somebody beat up Brandon Vera. I would love to see Silva wipe that smile off his face. I would also like to see him fight Matt Hughes or Lidell. Probably these people are in different division though.

Answer 2

lets not foget bustamante,

but id love to see bisping,almeida , cote, maia

before he goes up a weight class to fight to other silva.

Answer 3

I don't think there's a lot of competition in Silva's division right now. I think the best fight would be Silva going down a weight class and fighting GSP.

Answer 4

I have seen some of his fight on youtube, he is bloody good. He has powerful kicks and precise punches, also a few unorthodox moves that surprised his opponents. Even though, anderson and Chuck Liddle are on different weigh classes. But i think anderson have more weapons than chuck, also, he is faster and  has a reach advantage over chuck. Chuck has precise timing of his knockout punches. It would be a close match, but i think, Anderson Silver would win due to greater speed and more variety of weapons.

One other person, i like Anderson to fight would be Cung Le, Cung Le has been a Sanda champion (a style similar to K1 with take downs). He was also a pro wrestler. He is extremely good at taking down your kicks and throws you when you are close to him. Also, he has powerful and fast kicks. (he broke frank shamrock's arm with kicks).  Still Anderson's speed and reach advantage are a dangerous combinations.

Try to spar against someone who has reach advantage and speed over you and you will understand what anderson's opponents feel like. IT is definitely not fun. Not to mention the knockout power as well.

I think there is a way to beat Anderson Silva, it will require a fighter who is just as fast in foot work as anderson, also you needs to have fast and powerful punches. At the start of the match you need to rush in and put pressure on silva straight away with non stop punches and elbow combos, so silva can not play his game. When under such pressure at close ranch, silva will try to clinch your neck to deliver knee strike.. Therefore you need to be good at dirty boxing like Randy couture to neutralize his Muai Thai clinch and keep on punching him. If he takes you to the ground, your bjj is better be better than his, otherwise, you will lose the ground game.

Fail to do any of part of this tactic, you will lose and become part of the statistic.
