Conan Silveira-How Good was He??

ill always remember his first mma appearance in Extreme Fighting 1...Peretti hyped this guy up to be the hvwt equivalent of a Gracie on the ground..i remember him beating a very tough and game Tartarkin and then Meyers in the finals..he beat some scrub at Extreme fighting 2 and then he got exposed basically by Maurice Smith at EF 3...after that i remember him taking a break and then coming to the Ufc Japan and getting tapped by Sakuraba which is nothing to be ashamed of...after that, he seemed to fade away but kept fighting..

so how good was Silveira?was he basically just one of the first big strong guys that trained in BJJ and ended up fighting or was he better than that?

He was average at mma. He is now a interracial part of team ATT.

He destroyed the myth of BJJ by losing to:
... A kickboxer (Maurice smith)
... A wrestler (Dan Severn)
... A catch wrestler (Sakuraba)
... A tall guy (wes sims) Phone Post 3.0

yeah but give him credit for at least fighting 90s killers like Mo Smith, Sakuraba, Pat Smith, Severn... Phone Post 3.0

he was as good as MDMA

Even back then I remember thinking he didn't look very good on the ground. I figured he was big and strong so his BJJ never developed the way it should have. That being said I'm sure he is and was a lot better than what he showed in the cage. Phone Post 3.0

He is one of if not the first big bjj guys in the cage. He came from a team of Brazilian beasts-Carlson GracieTT. He should be respected for paving the way duking it out with whoever.

My reaction then was, "Who the hell is teaching this guy how to punch!?". Whem he'd let his hands go he'd wing short all arm punch flurrys.

Good old ATT defying the Jim Crow laws

did he fight GARY " FUZZY BEAR " MYERS, that guy was a trip. Once saw in in Extreme Fighting do his walkout hyped up jumping up and down acting crazed and then he fought some guy he outweighed by 50 lbs and steamrolled and went off like he was baddest guy on the planet, lol pathetic

CONAN SILVERIA was big and intimidating but underperformed based on the hype. SAKU took him down.

He got into a South Florida drug ring dustup and has since got back on track, not sure if he did time on that or not.
