While there have been a number of great dominator’s in the world of sport in the last ten years I can think of few who can match the following level. Forrest Griffin had earned a fair level of respect from most mixed martial arts fans since his 2005 performance on the Ultimate Fighter which culminated in his eventual capturing of the Light Heavyweight Championship of the world in July last year. While losing the title Forrest’s career seemed to bound along until he hit a bump.

That bumps name is Anderson ‘the spider’ Silva! Apart from two submission losses (one of them a freak of nature), a decision loss in his first MMA fight and an accidental DQ loss to Yushin Okami Anderson Silva has dominated everyone who has walked in front of him this decade.

Forrest Griffin, always one to throw caution to the wind and just go in helicopter punching, thought he was someone who may well be the first real threat to Silva’s dominance but as the following footage shows his abilities fell far short of ‘the mustard’. Silva (current Middleweight Champion of the world) took a step up in weight and made the former champ from a larger division look like a little kid hence earning him my Dominator of the Decade award. A packet of notasmartman branded M&M’s are on the way to Silva’s home in Brazil as we convey.
