1. Anderson SIlva's Highlight Reel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtGGK6cu5iA The thing about boxing is that a finish can only come in one way. A punch. While some of those punches are things of beauty, youre never going to witness any knockouts which you havent experienced before. With MMA, finishes come in an extremely wide variety and the perfect man to showcase this is Anderson The Spider Silva. When Silva first entered the UFC he was relatively unknown in the United States but that didnt last for long after he demolished Chris Leben who at that point had an impressive record of 15-1. Anderson is famed for his striking accuracy and ability to knock people out with a single glancing blow. His highlight reel showcases his incredible finishes such as his reverse elbow against Tony Fryklund in now defunct UK promotion Cage Rage. He also submitted the extremely tough Dan Henderson to unify the UFC and PRIDE belts. His bout with Forrest Griffin is literally like watching a fight in The Matrix and is probably the finest MMA performance of all time. Anderson SIlva adores the aforementioned Bruce Lee and if there was a Bruce Lee of MMA, it would be him. His front kick knockout of Vitor Belfort looks like it came right out of one of Bruce Lees movies. There are a lot of fighters who have great highlight reels but Andersons shows the most variety and reflects how incredibly exciting the UFC can be.
