Mixed Martial Arts is one of the most exciting and athletically superior sports in the world! I just saw one of the best mixed martial artists annihilate yet another opponent last night. Anderson Silva faced Forrest Griffin in a light heavy weight bout in UFC 101. First of all, Anderson is gorgeous and just about the sexiest thing since actor/director Mario Van Peeples (who he bares a striking resemblance to). Second, he ROCKS in the ring. Third, he has two last names as his whole name: one American and one Hispanic which, I find very sexy as well, GRRRRRR! But on a more serious note, he has a fluid way of sparring with his opponent that leads me to believe he not only trains as a martial artist, boxer, and wrestler, but that he also plays capoiera. I used to play capoeira, so I recognize his moves. Silva moves like a cobra, and his strike is just as lethal! Well, he struck Forrest down three times in the first 3:32. And his last strike at 3:32 was the end of it. Forrest signaled "no mas" with an extended arm, pleaing to Silva not to hit him again while he was down. Silva acquiesed and the fight was over. Despite much speculation that Silva had finally met his match in Forrest, Silva exploded in the ring and garnered a dynamic win. Wooo hooo! Silva just makes me want to have sexy time, but that's beside the point here. He went up in his weight class from 185 to 205 becuase he had already earned the belt in his former class. He has not lost a fight since this weight class move, which has his own manager speculating that he will stay in this heavier class and fight for the title. If he does that, he will forfeit his middleweight title. He will ALSO have to face pressure to fight his BFF, training partner and "soul brother" Lyoto Machida (who holds the light heavyweight belt as we speak). Anderson says that fight will never happen, but UFC's president, Dana White, says "he can make it happen." LOL, what a tool. Personally, I think if Dana keeps pushing it, Silva's heart is so golden he would rather retire than fight his friend. Anyway, because of matches and controversies like this, MMA gets a big I LOVE IT from me! Who needs to watch soap operas! Teeheehee
