When you have guys who lose, there’s a lot of contrast, so you get a good sense of how their improving.

When you only see Anderson come out for three and a half minutes destroying Forrest Griffin it’s hard to talk about what’s improving, especially when you’re comparing that to, say, the beginning of his UFC career and his fight with Leben. You need to see him get tested, and that hasn’t really happened.

I’m hoping for Maia vs. Silva, because I think that’s the toughest matchup, especially if Maia continues to show the ability to get his opponents to the ground so easily.

Definitely more than interesting, the constant circling, switching angles was expected. I’m almost expected a crazy elbow or knee in the clinch.

I like how many people say that Marquardt, Henderson, or who ever is getting better when no one gives Anderson Silva credit for improving his game. Although we don’t see his grappling, wrestling and jiu-jitsu skills often, it doesn’t mean his all around game is lacking.

With that said, I’m excited to see if Marquardt can make Maia use his striking game for more than a minute.

well i’ll say it anyway…

ANDERSON’S REPPIN OG STYLE!!!!

That’s my dawg!!!
