I respect Josh Barnett's opinion, but he is wrong about Anderson Silva.

Barnett (talking about Silva and Rampage): "Both of those guys fought almost all their fights and made their name in PRIDE."

That's just wrong. Anderson Silva has had 23 fights in MMA. Only five were fought in PRIDE Fighting. He has beaten far better opponents OUTSIDE of the PRIDE Fighting promotion.

So, Josh Barnett was trying too hard to stretch the skills of the PRIDE Fighters.
