      Not me. In my head, I usually get a chest to chest body lock, or over/under. Then I use my right foot for an outside trip backwards. If i can't get the trip I switch to a hip toss, or just drag them down into half guard or side control. Then I put the top of my head in their jaw and nose, or start looking for short little elbows. I like to hug that side control CLOSE to the chest. This plan is for non wrestlers and hay maker throwing cavemen. In my head of course. I would never grind my elbows into a drunk guys eyebrows after he shoulder bumped me in a 711 doorway, using the asphalt as a cushion for the back of his head. I'd literally never do that, cause I can't fight for shit, and it's in my head.

    The way he hits with surgical precision is just mind blowing. When Silva gets into that mode he goes into he makes any fighter he’s up against look like an amateur even other champions. He’s so fast he makes his opponents look like their in slow motion. In that moment he goes into that mode you can see the look on the other fighters that they are completely overwhelmed and realize there’s nothing they can do to block or dodge the hits. I’ve never seen anyone fight like Silva. He’s the greatest fighter that ever lived.

    I remember watching Silva Sonnen, and by the 5th round, you had that empty feeling inside because you thought he had lost a step, and the GOAT was out of his prime
    Goes on to put the most clutch performance ever in the UFC, then goes on to extend his reign for 3 more years, with even more highlights. He looked spectacular during the 1st Weidman fight aswell, but the unexpected KO did something to his confidence, then the leg break affected his physical ability. Still managed to put on good performances until the end, I thought he should’ve won against Bisping, the decision to continue the fight after the adrenaline wore off for Silva cost him, he was not prepared mentally to continue the fight

    that switch he hit on marquardt at 1:20 is so good, silvas ground game was underrated. like the double leg he hit on thales leites of a pivot when he was up agaisnt the cage. so good.

    I love how people argue "tier 2 fighters" or "15 years ahead of his time" without realizing he is not 15 years ahead of his time, his sheer DOMINANCE made the entire SPORT try to mimmick it just to be as good as he was, and no one came close to date. He wasn't a 2023 fighter in 2023, he CREATED the 2023 fighters.
