Aggressive Anderson

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Anderson Silva has been up around 700,000 for a while now, and has frequently been pushing all in, forcing his opponents to let go of hands.

On a recent flop of Q-9-8 and relatively little in the middle, Silva shoved, prompting J.C. Tran to ask "Why so much?" before folding.

He's not the MMA fighter of the same name, but aggressive nonetheless.
