Anderson Silva Does Whatever a Spider Can

If Anderson Silva’s deconstruction of Forrest Griffin didn’t impress you enough, FightMetric offers up some pretty impressive stats:

* Silva landed 13 of 25 total strikes, for an accuracy percentage of 52%. Silva has still never had a fight in which he landed less than half his attempted strikes.

* If you want to consider Silva’s head movement, consider that Griffin landed 1 of 35 strikes thrown to Silva’s head, or 3%. The average is 29%.

* With his three knockdowns against Griffin, Silva becomes the only fighter in UFC history with two fights containing three knockdowns. He also did it in the second fight against Rich Franklin.

* The three knockdowns also moves Silva into second place for most knockdowns in UFC history, behind only Chuck Liddell.

One of thirty-five.  Jimmy Fallon has a better hit-to-miss ratio.
