Anderson Silva

Anderson Silva is a 1.88m UFC fighter. He has 31 wins and 4 losses. He holds the belt for welterweight.

Anderson Silva is Brazilian and is a stand up fighter. Meaning that he fights standing up more then he fights on the ground.

Out of his 4 losses I have watched 2 of them.

His first loss that I remember was against Ryo Chonan, a Japanese fighter. Anderson Silva was winning the whole fight and Ryo had barely gotten one hit on Silva. Out of the blue Ryo Chonan did a "Flying scissor Heel hook" a move rarely used because it is hard to put into a fighting situation. But Ryo managed to execute the move and submit Anderson Silva, winning the fight.

His second loss that I remember was against Yushin Okami. Yushin Okami is also a Japanese fighter. Again Anderson Silva was winning the whole fight until Yushin Okami managed to take Anderson Silva to the floor. Anderson Silva retaliated by kicking Okami in the head, knocking him out. Head kick's while on the ground are illegal is UFC so Anderson Silva lost and Okami won by Disqualification.

Most of Anderson Silva’s fights are very entertaining to watch except for his fight against Chael Sonnen. In that fight Anderson Silva seemed like he wasn’t even trying. He rarely kicked and threw a punch and Chael Sonnen dominated most of the fight. On the 5th and final round Anderson Silva got Chael Sonnen into a Triangle Choke and submitted him.

After the fight Anderson Silva said he didn’t kick and punch because he wanted to use Jujitsu to win the fight, because his Jujitsu teacher had died recently. He also said he had a broken rib so his doctor advised him not to fight but he fought anyway.
