As good as Izzy is, it’s crazy to think back to the level of fear Anderson’s striking put in his opponents. Oddly enough, Andersons 5th defense was against Thales Leites, and people were kinda shitting on Silva for not engaging more like they are on Izzy right now after his 5th defense. Anderson of course followed that up with his matrix of Forrest, and everyone was back on his bandwagon until the following fight back at MW against Maia. I love both guys, but Anderson’s striking was just something that I’m not sure can ever be topped, regardless of differing styles.
