UFC 148 Silva vs Sonnen II: 5 Reasons Why Silva Will Destroy Sonnen

5. He Is The Best Fighter Of All Time

You cannot doubt greatness. The great champions when tested rise to the occasion and I fully expect Anderson Silva to do the same. He has been in the UFC for over six years and has never lost a fight. This is unparalleled. Silva has fought the best in the world in the octagon and faced every single style there is be it strikers, wrestlers, grapplers or Jiu-Jitsu fighters and he has overcome them all. His list of defeated fighters is a who€™s who of the greatest middleweights in the UFC over the past five years: Henderson, Okami, Marquardt, Belfort, Leben etc. On top of this he has even beaten former Light Heavyweight champ Forrest Griffin at 205 pounds. If you had to bet your life on one fighter to win a fight inside the octagon it would be Anderson Silva. On Saturday I fully expect Anderson Silva to prove to the world that he is the greatest fighter that has ever lived. Chael Sonnen will become another name to the lengthy list of those that have tried yet failed to defeat the great Anderson Silve in the UFC. My prediction? Anderson Silva by stoppage in round number three. You heard it here first.
