Anderson Silva vs Carlos Newton

Anderson Silva is the motherfuckin man. I couldn’t quite believe it on Saturday night. He beat Dan Henderson, and beat him good! The man is a god in the ring. It’s so satisfying to watch him get into his rythm, when he really starts to feel it, and he just fires off the perfect strike with perfect timing, up down left right bang smash good night Viennese Whirl.

It was clear from the first round that he can be taken down and side mounted (somewhat awkwardly.) It would seem, then, that his kryptonite is strong wrestling. But if Dan Henderson couldn’t capitalise, who the fuck can? I know what you’re thinking. Hulk Hogan. I’m with you, but our chances of seeing the yellow-faced one in the octagon against Silva are about as likely as you growing a gigantic penis out of your shoulder and then shoulder-barging JRR Tolkien in the ear with it.

Silva rules. His run in the UFC so far has been incredible. I wasn’t that impressed by his wins over Leben and what’s his name, even the win against Franklin didn’t impress me. I never got the whole thing about Franklin… was he ever that great? Maybe I just missed the UFCs he fought on, but he beat some guy, some other guy, Ken Shamrock, and then some other guy. And suddenly he’s one of the best fighters the UFC has to offer? Anyway, Silva dispatching Henderson like that cements his status with me as “Super Awesome to the Max”.
