Thread: MMA v1.1

Nah I also thought Forrest would be able to keep up with Silva because he never really quits, I guess Silva really does hit as hard as they say.

After these fights though, Anderson Silva just got a seat right next to Fedor in my rankings. As for BJ Penn, I can't wait for Diego to fight him, I'm rooting for Sanchez but I just know BJ will win.

That fight didn't prove Silva hits hard. It proves, like Machida's fights, that with precision and timing you don't need power to knock someone out. Even Evans was talking about how Machida "hit like a bitch" and he just kept knocking him down and eventually knocked him the fuck out. Knock out power is overrated.
Thats why I love watching them fight so much. They prove perfect technique will beat power all day long.
