Well, I mostly did it for a joke, but it really is true.
22 Olympic medals (the most ever - 18 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze), a 37 time world record holder and a whack of golds at world championships versus a guy that won't fight a wrestler without a single Olympic medal.
I'll watch Silva before Phelps every day of the week and twice on Sundays. 'Cause I like MMA way more than I like competitive swimming and I think the Spider is the best fighter on the planet.
Phelps still gets my vote.

If Silva could beat 1 person from each country also and get a new medal everytime, and people would take time how fast he can beat i.e some italian guy, I think he would also have atleast 37 world records.
Swimmers have what? 8 different swimming type contests per olympics, + team efforts, its ridiculous. Put Phelps in a cage with Silva for 10 minutes and after that give them 10 minutes and see who swims further, I bet Silva wins both contests.
