It’s official now, and he has the “Mantlers” to prove it. Here’s the Spider picking up his award at SpikeTV’s Guys Choice Awards on Sunday. Our kudos to Silva for his perfect pronunciation of “Sorry, my English is no good,” and to Chris Leben for providing Anderson with an entire highlight reel via their match at UFC Fight Night 5. Klitschko never had a chance.

Mike - how is Rich Franklin NOT a top fighter??"
I respect Franklin, but again,1) look at his opponents before he fought Silva. 2) he got absolutely DEMOLISHED by Silva both times, DEMOLISHED!! 3) Top fighters get beats, but they do NOT get brutally beaten into bloody pulps
"GSP for Prime Minister" I do agree with you on that statement!!
Anderson Silva is like Roy Jones (in his prime)... he's just THAT good that he makes all the top fighters in the weight class look BAD...
Ok first Dyph, if you look at my ending paragraph i put that "Anderson Silva is the current most bad ass man in contact sports period." Can you read that CONTACT sports, why the hell are you bring up 9 year olds in Africa, are they in Football, Boxing, MMA or etc. This is adding to my point of where "people" in general bring different subjects in to the argument that is invalid. Also, three paragraphs? Did you even read it, the GSP statement was just an example and my argument was not centered on GSP being a street fighter, it was centered on the fact that Mike was adding that the award was naming Anderson as the world’s best pound for pound fighter. Also you said have you been to Montreal? I say have you been to Brazil? You would shit bricks right after leaving your plane.
Teach bug, I feel sorry for you having to use words like penis breath, which I guess is implying that I’m gay. Grow up and get an education.
Mike, Yes I know how marketing works, supply and demand, exposure and etc. The fact that Dana White has been promoting Anderson Silva to be the worlds pound for pound best does not have to do with this award. Yes you can say it is implying that he is the best fighter, and that Dana White put Wladimir Klitschko, a boxer who is less known (Even though he holds the IBF ,IBO and WBO world heavyweight titles.) But saying that Anderson Silva didn’t fight the best in his weight class is just stupid; every single opponent was on at least a 2-6 fight winning streak until Anderson stopped them and ending every fight before the end of the second round come on. GSP also with his last 5 fights basically being with the exact same people, I can not to say that his opponents where the best either, Yes Matt Serra was the champ, but that was a lucky move on his part and Matt Hughes not being able to end a fight since first losing to GSP, shows that Hughes as an fighter is washed up. Fighting the same opponent over and over again is like how Tito Ortiz fought Ken Shamrock 3 times, 2 of those being in a row. This statement was answering your first comment of Anderson Silva’s opponents not being basically nothing. I agree with the fact that Dana White set up the award by putting a no name Boxer for Andersons Opposition in the award category.
now back to main topic, is it me or does Anderson seem to have a crush on Jason Statham? I can already see it coming; The One 2 "The Most Dangerous Man in the World against The Most Dangerous Man in the World"
Have you been to Montreal? I am not really sure how you can compose three paragraphs on the assumption that GSP is scared of a street fight. Besides that, there are much more dangerous men/women/children in the world....pretty sure in Africa a 9 year old would shoot you for looking funny. Waste less time writing unfounded editorial shit. Every part of that award show as a Spike plug of some sort, as well as the previous men's choice award shows on spike.
In short, 'dangerous' people are behind bars, marketable people with accents get awards.

You obviously don’t know how marketing works man. Yes this is for the most dangerous man, and fits into Danas plans. He is always saying Silva is lb for lb the best fighter in the world, and I GUARANTEE he orchestrated him to receive this award..
So the reason I commented like I did, is because this is "indirectly" stating the obvious, that the UFC thinks he is lb for lb the best fighter in the world. BUT, MMA fans that have followed the sport for more than 2 weeks will not be fooled. I am not saying he isn’t bad as fu&% because he is, but I have not been converted yet.
Thanks teachbug , I was getting worried there for a bit, way to come through.......LOL
actually I dont disagree with you, but you asked for insults, I just wanted to comply.
Good post Mike :)
Secondly being Dangerous is different from being the best, like GSP, yeah I can say he is probably the world’s best pound for pound, but this does not mean he’s dangerous. GSP looks like a guy who would rather avoid a fight on the street by talking his way through the trouble (since he’s French/Canadian and all). But Anderson Silva who grew up in Brazil, looks like a man who would smash your face in if given the proper reason, whether it is a person messing with him or his friends/family.
So I don’t know who you’re calling a Knuckle head man, maybe you should start writing comments that add to what the video has shown. Instead of implicating false statements from videos by skewing the wording and meaning of message in the video; which is that Anderson Silva is the current most bad ass man in contact sports period.
My top 5 Lb for Lbs
1) GSP
2) BJ Penn
3) Anderson Silva
4) Randy Couture
5) Fedor
Ok, bring on the insults...knuckle heads
Even though it's obviously rigged, Anderson Silva is the man.
