Yeah, that video cracks me up every time. My Ayeee technique? My background is in wrestling, so that has served me well when trying to learn other martial arts, especially jiu jitsu. I gotta disagree you about Silva though, he is a great fighter, but at times he is disrespectful to his opponents. He hasn't been good about finishing fights either, although he shut me up when he kicked Belfort in the head. I think Jon Jones might be even better than Silva, did you see him destroy Shogun? GSP is actually my favorite fighter, arguably the best wrestler in MMA and he never even wrestled. He's also very humble, which I think will keep him on top for quite a while.
Yeah Anderson Silva has done his share of s**t talking. I don't really have problems with s**t talking itself (I've always loved Muhammad Ali's s**t talk), but I'm just saying it's funny Chael came outta nowhere saying he would end his career. I'm not saying Chael Sonnen sucks, he's actually pretty decent but the difference is he's decent and Silva is legendary.
I haven't heard of Jon Jones, I'll check him out. I'm aware that Anderson Silva has dragged fights on, but he is more aggressive than say Machida who I also think is an excellent fighter. GSP would be my second favourite, he is very well rounded and has an incredible work ethic when it comes to training. Hahaha I remember how Josh Koscheck kept calling the paramedic a male nurse and all I was thinking was "Let's see if you'll still disrespect his profession after GSP leaves you lying on a stretcher".
In most sites I've been to, there are usually a wide variety differences in opinions on the list of the top 10 pound for pound fighter but what a vast majority of em agree on is that either GSP or Anderson Silva takes the #1 or #2 spot. That's awesome.
