Chimaev entered this fight with an air of invincibility around him. 4-0 in the UFC and 10-0 in total, 'Borz' had run over every opponent in his way. This track record warranted a significant leap in competition, and 'Durinho' was apparently the only top-ranked welterweight up for the challenge.
Pure chaos ensued as the bout began. While the 27-year-old was able to find success multiple times through the fight, his Brazilian adversary made him look human. As the first round was nearing its end, Chimaev stepped into his jab, utilizing all of his body weight for this strike. It certainly found the mark and dropped his opponent. While the rest of the fight was incredible, this jab was one of the most impactful strikes through the fifteen minutes of action.
#1. Anderson Silva vs. Forrest Griffin
Never has a jab been so effortless but simultaneously so effective. When Anderson Silva took on Forrest Griffin, he put on a career-best performance against the former light heavyweight champion.
'The Spider' used his playful but distracting hand movements and jerking body feints to overload Griffin's senses. An apprehensive opponent is a much easier fight, let alone for striking mastermind Anderson Silva.
To earn the Brazilian's respect, Griffin charged forward only to be met with what seemed like the most lackadaisical strike thrown in the UFC. While moving backward, 'The Spider' fired a jab from his hip, making it harder to see it coming. The strike landed and rendered Griffin a dropped and defeated fighter, leaving fans and analysts in shock and awe regarding Silva's impeccable striking ability.
