Anderson "The Spider" Silva is, without question, one of the most dangerous fighters in all of MMA and can be considered among the top 5 pound for pound fighters in the world. Silva possesses world class striking ability and combines that with a black belt in BJJ. He quickly rose through the ranks of the UFC, after coming over from the now defunct PRIDE promotion in June of 2006, to dominate Rick Franklin at UFC 64 and earn the UFC middleweight championship; a title he has defended four times.
