He was old when he lost to Kimbo, around 43 or something, I think he'd take Kimbo in his prime.
If he was a young guy starting MMA today with the natural gifts he had, he would've done decent.
Oliveira has amazing offensive BJJ skills, and is one of the most entertaining submission artists of all time. Defensively, he isn't the GOAT BJJ guy by a longshot, but I'll be damned if I ever got as excited as with an Oliveira fight when it hits the ground.
One of the best who ever did it. Despite the controversies and some of the less entertaining fights (Maia, Leites) during his title reign, Silva is still the MW goat. When he was on point he seemed out of this world.
Whatever the result, this should be a fun scrap. Though I was quite sure that the Walker vs Krylov fight would deliver, and it was quite underwhelming.
