Shawn Lattimore yeah, the one against forest griffin was AMAZING. That counter that finished him was nasty.

Anderson" the Goat "Silva

@Shawn Lattimore specially forest was known to not give up for any beating..... But silva made it look so easy

Not me. In my head, I usually get a chest to chest body lock, or over/under. Then I use my right foot for an outside trip backwards. If i can't get the trip I switch to a hip toss, or just drag them down into half guard or side control. Then I put the top of my head in their jaw and nose, or start looking for short little elbows. I like to hug that side control CLOSE to the chest. This plan is for non wrestlers and hay maker throwing cavemen. In my head of course. I would never grind my elbows into a drunk guys eyebrows after he shoulder bumped me in a 711 doorway, using the asphalt as a cushion for the back of his head. I'd literally never do that, cause I can't fight for shit, and it's in my head.

@@joelasher3155 Forest was injured in that fight camp and rumors had that he maybe was even KO'd. The guy had a shit training camp. Not saying Griffin would have won. Just that it should have been more competitive

Dad wasn't there?

I love you

AND STILL

@@crzxm he was busy pretending to be yours...😂😂

@@rhapsodyinglue8758 But still no, "I love you" huh?

It also speaks to how controlled his movements and emotions are during the fight. Most of the GOAT’s in combat sports have this superhuman ability to remain calm and collected in their fights: Fedor, Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, GSP, Khabib (except with Connor but only after he knows the fight’s over), etc.. Even a wild beast like Tyson fought in very controlled but fierce manner during his prime.

It’s more due to the opposition I suppose. Those guys couldn’t strike, that why Silva looked like a god compared to them

Exactly

Better than modern days fighters. Adesanya couldn’t finish 43 year old Anderson. He would have gotten demolished vs prime Silva.

He's always been like that lolz. Was such a fucking cry baby and a badass and humble and an egotistical savage all at once. Idk how TF that happens lmak

Anderson is my favorite fighter of all time, but he's kind of a prick. That whole "respect" thing just seemed like an act. The only time it ever felt genuine was when he fought Franklin. Apparently he appreciates school teachers.

The 🐐

@Jules D I think he would have too. Just shows anything can happen, any time.

His knees and Muay Thai clinch was absolutely lethal! Just so dam quick and fast with those knees! Something no one mentions tho is his flexibility was on a whole another level! To throw those knees up the way he did to guys heads while they was standing straight is insane!

@@UteroGaming yes his flexibility was the highest. It also initially enabled him to have a lethal leg strike to the face when anyone sat on top of him and tried to punch and elbow him to death.The heel in the face blow was almost certain knockput, but inexplicably the MMA banned the move as illegal! What? Apparently its less dangerous for bigger people to sit on top of ypu and pummel you to death slowly. The latter is boring and disastrous for brain damage, so what is MMA doing here?9

His striking coach was D.Woirin, french Muay Thai specialist. His new pupil is Benoit St Denis fighting Poirier very soon…@@UteroGaming

he's punishing though. watching him whoop somebody reminds me of seeing intense street fights.

His reflex are great sure, and I'm not trying to discredit Silva, but that was also due to Forrest's bad striking (by today's standards of course). He was ahead of his time. He was a man among boys when it comes to striking. UFC fighters didn't even know how to defend a fuckin thai plum back then.

@@imoeazy Conner probably got that from the dojo he trained in, as they teach that exact philosophy in Seido and GKR Karate.

He’s a goat. Not the goat. Jon Jones is THE goat. Look at Jones title reign and who he beat after he won the title. He beat 5 former champs in a row and then went on to dominate and destroy his generation of fighters. He beat Ryan Bader in route to a title fight a man who recent was a duel weight champ in Bellator. Jon is the greatest to ever wear 4 ounce gloves and be made it look easy. Every rematch he had he destroyed his opponent and left no question who was the clear winner. Anderson is without a doubt top 3 greatest ever with Jon and GSP.
