Anderson Silva: Unstoppable?

Since coming to the UFC in June of ’06, Anderson Silva has turned a who’s who of the middleweight division into nothing more than clips for his highlight reel. You have to go all the way back to December of 2004 to find his last legitimate loss (Silva also lost to Yushin Okami during that stretch, but it was due to disqualification in a fight that he was clearly winning). The man who pulled of the David and Goliathesque upset was Pride FC veteran Ryo Chonan. With his back against the wall Chonan caught the “spider” in a flying scissor heel hook… unreal!

In a sport where anything can happen… here it does. Maybe Patrick Cote should brush up on his advanced jui-jitsu?
