Since his arrival at the UFC, Silva has a perfect mark of 6-0, and has absolutely destroyed all that has dared to step in the Octagon with him. Thus far, not one fighter has been able to go the distance with the Brazilian in the UFC, as he has yet to go passed the 2nd round. All of Silva’s victories have come by a way of KO, TKO, or Submission. Anderson Silva’s overall MMA record stands at 22-4. Tonight, Silva will take on Huntington Beach’s own, James Irvin (14-4-1). Irvin comes into this fight as a huge underdog, as everyone is expecting Silva to make quick work of him as he has done to so many others. The 29-year-old will not be afraid to exchange with Silva, as he is a very well conditioned athlete with powerful hands. The former WEC Champ is also a Muay-Thai and Boxing practitioner with devastating standup, so these guys’ styles are very similar. Irvin is 2-1 in his last 3 fights as he has faced the likes of: Houston Alexander (W, TKO), Luiz Cane (W, DQ), and Thiago Alves (L, TKO).
