Have you watched any of Anderson Silva's fights lately?
The Leben, Irvin, Griffin, and second Okami fights come to mind. And the Sonnen fight for other reasons.
It appears to me that the Spider is not really afraid of losing and is beginning to explore what is possible. He displays extremely sensitive perceptive abilities, and seems to hit very hard while remaining relaxed and fluid, amongst many other interesting qualities.
I think any martial artist regardless of their style would enjoy watching Anderson. You just don't see that level of mastery very often.
I have no idea about the nature of Anderson Silva's training, but my guess is that he has put more time, thought, and attention into martial arts and fighting than 99.9% of us on this forum. . . Of course, I could be totally mistaken.

Can you definitively say that you know what Ueshiba's aiki is/was? And that you know all the manners in which someone can develop such an ability?
If something is real, it can be found.
