He has world class boxing skills with defense, footwork, and head movement, in addition to excellent Muay Thai skills. If Rua could take the fight to the ground, he has the skills to make it interesting, but I don't see him getting the chance. Anderson is too fast and too great of a counter-striker for Rua to get a chance at it. It will be an epic fight, but I say Anderson wins 8 or 9 times out of 10....
I disagree. Anderson is the best striker in the world but Fedor would do fine on the feet, and so would GSP or Shogun. Look at Aldo man..Anderson is the best striker IMO but not by that far ahead.

i would definetly want shogun to win but anderson has superior muay thai and boxing. Shogun has stronger punches and kicks buts anderson is much more accurate and would eventually pick him apart. I think that anderson would beat machida too. as far as the best mma strikers go i would say that anderson is #1 followed by shogun and machida. And please dont mention all the k1 strikers from the past that have given mma a go like maurice, mcdonald, cc, hunt, ect. im saying the most successful strikers in mma.

Aldo is not on Silva's level.

Why not? They train together and Aldo is just as dominant as Silva was if not more. He probably has better, more lethal kicks than Anderson. Why can't he be on Anderson's level, because he has less wins? Or he is 145lbs? I don't understand why. I like Anderson and all but I don't understand..

im taking anderson in this fight

yes show gun looked very very impressive against machida, but ive always thought that the real reason silva wouldnt fight machida was because he knew from training against him that he is a league or 3 above him.
