After Anderson Silva’s brutal destruction of Forrest Griffin at Saturday’s UFC 101 event in Philadelphia, we ran a poll here on Inside Fights asking you, the reader, who you thought was the best fighter in the world.
Silva’s performance was apparently fresh in your minds, as out of the 713 people that participated in our poll, an astounding 50% of you voted The Spider as the current best fighter in the world. UFC welterweight champion was a distant second at 19.7%, proving just how dominant the reigning UFC middleweight champion seems to be.
Our newest poll is now available on the right sidebar of the site. This time, we’re asking to simply pick the winner of the Strikeforce women’s championship fight between Gina Carano and Cyborg Santos. The poll will be available through Friday night and we’ll announce the results on Saturday morning.
