I've never seen anyone get knocked out with a front kick to the face but Anderson landed a perfect toe kick into the Chin, the middleweight title last changed hands in October 2006. That's when he dropped Rich Franklin and has been around Anderson Silva's waist since he started throwing strikes. Can he avoid being taken down so far? Wow, good takedown defense by Silva, yeah. Was that what could be considered a necessity or a downed opponent but the action continues anderson big right hand looking to finish the fight chad is in trouble punched hands everywhere anderson silva is still the ufc middleweight champion no that's to the body yes , that's a jump, that's a legitimate technique, he got on top of them and finished them off, it was a body shot that did a brilliant job on the part of the champion.

Anderson is a very special athlete and he has this perfect storm of success that comes with incredible confidence and the fact that he is so comfortable. with the experience of high profile title fights that, in addition to his incredible level of skill, Anderson grabs him by the arm and takes him down, takes him down, anderson trips him, takes him down, trips him and then grabs him by the ankle and check it, here it is, boom perfectly. at the solar plexus you see bonner react he curls up into a ball he's in big trouble here and anderson is on top of him one more brilliant performance from the greatest martial artist of all time look at this perfectly placed knee right at the solar plexus and bonner. a man who has absorbed human punishment from every opponent he has faced collapses under a brilliant strike from the maestro what an incredible athlete Anderson is, he is the greatest of all time.
