Anderson "The Spider" Silva

Brief History
Silva truly has worked his way to the top, Starting in Mecca, working his way through Shooto and PRIDE finally has made his way to the UFC with great success (Middleweight champion, can I get a hey?). Although Silva is known for his vicious muay thai strikes, Silva earned a black belt in 2005 under Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira making him truly a well rounded fighter and teacher.

I found a poor man once
He was the age of fifty-three
He spoke about the government
And the thought of being free
What good does us reason if we fail to see?
What good does us freedom if we fail to be free
