Long-time middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva will go down as one of the greatest if not the greatest mixed martial artist of all time.
During his record title reign he displayed a lethal striking arsenal which he used to knock out the likes of Rich Franklin (twice), Chael Sonnen, Forrest Griffin and Vitor Belfort in masterful displays of the martial arts.
So how would Anderson Silva fare if he tested his striking power against one of those arcade punching machines, and where would he stack up against other fighters such Georges St Pierre, Rampage Jackson or even UFC President Dana White?
Making an appearance on a Brazilian talk show, ‘The Spider’ got his chance to measure his power but it was against members of the audience. After three volunteers tested their might with mixed results, it was ‘The Spiders’ time to shine.
His initial strike was right high kick thrown at low power which recorded a score 278.
His next strike was a low power right hand which recorded 391 points.
With the crowd eager for more, Silva took a slightly more serious approach stepping back in an orthodox stance and uncorked his right hand scoring 469.
