In case you needed further convincing, this man is a bad ass motherfucker.
I think the next champion of this category will be Nate Marquardt. If I’m not over with the belt, I believe Nate will be the next champion 84kg, the next guy to win for a long, long time this way.

He has this look on his face like “Really? Um…you missed. You were supposed to bring it.”
Not a slight on Griffin so much as awe for Silva.
I love this. Two of my favorites in the sport.
Quinton Jackson up and Mohawk’d himself to Vancouver. Brock Lesnar picked up a case of swine flu from a viking horn. Lyoto Machida’s hand has eluded him. Anderson Silva has a recurring funny bone injury. Thiago Alves’s knee won’t even let him TRY to make weight. And despite Greg Jackson’s best efforts, Georges St. Pierre CAN’T hit a guy with his pulled groin.

Is there anyone better than me? For sure, but we don’t know where he is.
— Anderson Silva
A little Anderson Silva for comparison.
