After another legendary performance at Saturday's UFC 134 event, middleweight champion Anderson Silva further solidified his status as one of the greatest fighters in MMA history.
But is the best fighter ever to compete in the UFC octagon?
In The Sunday Junkie, our weekly reader-feedback feature, Silva was the topic du jour. And this week's winner, Canada's Dan Williams, has one primary reason why it's too soon to determine Silva's all-time ranking in the UFC.

RIO DE JANEIRO – Following Forrest Griffin's devastating loss to fellow former champ Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at Saturday night's UFC 134 event, it was fairly evident that words were not going to console him.
So UFC president Dana White did the next best thing: He gave him a ride home.
Griffin who just moments before the evening's post-event press conference received a surprise announcement that his wife was ready to give birth to their daughter some nine days early, didn't make excuses for his performance. But White said he understood completely and wanted to get him back to Las Vegas ASAP.
