With 13 consecutive wins, Silva holds the longest active winning streak in the UFC and the record for the longest winning streak in UFC history..  Silva also holds the record for most consecutive title defenses (7)

I think it will be a good fight but cant pick against ''THE SPIDER''  Ill take Silva with a 2-3 round KO

I am pretty pumped about Griffin vs Franklin, not too many guys in MMA work as hard as these 2 do!

After spending 45 bucks to watch Silva run around the ring a couple fights back, I can't wait to see him get beat. Come on Belfort!

Agreed.  Anderson Silva is a good fighter, but the winning streak is a little overrated.

He's fought Travis Lutter, James Irvin, Patrick Cote, Thales Leites, Demian Meia.

That front kick was freakin amazing.  Everytime Silva steps in the cage, he amazes me with something different.

funniest thing is Anderson credits his game plan from Steven Seagel?.  Steven told him to circle around and not do much for the first 2 or 3 mins then come in with a a head kick.
