Anderson Silva is considered to be the pound for pound best fighter in the world today. No body in the UFC has even come close to beating him, we are not talking about him fighting mediocre fighters and excelling in his matches, we are talking about being tested (Or at least that's what the UFC match makers have in mind) in every fight!! Being put up against amazing fighters and just making them look bad!! (Rich Franklin, Forrest Griffin, Nate Marquardt, Chris Leben, James Irvin to name a few) In his last fight against Forrest Griffin he absolutely decimated him with his over whelming superiority, he made Forrest look like an amateur in what Joe Rogan called the "Most embarrising knock out in UFC history".
In his upcoming fight with Damian Maia there is not one aspect in Damian's game that I believe exceeds Anderson's incredible abilities, sure his Jiu Jitsu is unbelieveble, but people forget, because of Silva's picture perfect striking, how impresive and underrated his Jiu Jitsu is.
When you think about it there is no one in the two-o-five nor the one-eighty-five division that is even near Silva's level! The only way I see Anderson loosing in 2010 is if either Fedor Emilianenko dropped down to two-o-five and Anderson jumped up to it (Which I belive would be a close match) or Goerge St-Pierre jumped up to one-eighty-five.
Here are some gif. pictures of Anderson's and Forrest epic fight
