And Faber has faced solid opponents..Curran, Pulver. Even early on, defeating the then undefeated Charlie Valencia and Joe pearson who had come off 7 straight victories.
And when did I imply that silva and Faber were on the same level of striking? I was using an example that Silva throws these "stupid" elbws all the time, the difference is he wasnt caught with a punch during one of them.

Hate to burst your bubble but if you listen to Frank Mir do commentary for one of his fights it becomes abundently clear he is/was overhyped. Furthermore, I would say Brown being 20-4 with wins over guys like Curran, Yves Edwards, and now Faber and training at ATT he is no slouch. Please dude, guys like Vaencia and Pearson were beating up cans with 1-2, 1-1, 6-9 records before fighting Faber how am I to believe those wins are credible. Its the Rich Franklin syndrome just because someone has a bunch of wins on his record doesn't mean he is a great fighter, esp. if its against less than stellar fighters. As for the Anderson comment he isn't so stupid to throw it blind like that and actually lands it when he does it and he can take the punch if it comes.
