Anderson Silva vs. Tony Fryklund

In this matchup from Cage Rage 16, "The Spider" Anderson Silva takes on Tony Fryklund. It is another example of Anderson Silva building his skills and experience in his pre-UFC career to the point where he would become one of the most dominant champions in MMA history.

In this instance, we get to witness one of the most unique knockout finishes of all time. In the UFC tale of the tape, when Joe Rogan and company refer to Anderson Silva's "creative striking," this is undoubtedly one of the moves that inspires that comment.
