Silva Almost Gave Dana A Flashback
Anderson Silva is considered to be one of the best MMA fighters of all-time, but he faced criticism for his fight style during parts of his career. Silva's counterstriking approach and willingness to showboat during lulls in the action upset some fans including UFC President Dana White. The most notable instance came after UFC 112 when Silva defeated Demian Maia in a bout that many felt he could have won by stoppage if he was more aggressive. At UFC 126 Silva faced Vitor Belfort and it seemed like it was going to be a repeat of the Maia fight until Silva got a spectacular knockout victory. #danawhite #andersonsilva #shorts #ufc
