Cool vid. Looks like Silva was blissfully unaware- that heel hook took more than a few beats to develop and lock in.
What really caught my eye, though, was the link at the top of the blog to the latest T-Nation article about developing MMA sport specific strength. There's been more questions lately in the training forum about this. I've tried to answer a few if no one else has responded, which is usually the case. I'm not a trained fighter, which is usually the first thing I say as a disclaimer. There's been interest over at elitefts. about this, plus what I've read here, so I understood the basic concept of developing maximal and explosive strength but not at the expense of sport specific goals. I'd been giving them a basic rundown of this concept and providing them with a few links, which I felt was better than leaving their question unanswered. Basically a shotgun approach.
Waterbury's article, and it is the first of three, is superlative- presents a more than a few concepts I didn't know about, is well written, and has everything is one place. I finally feel capable of providing a qualified answer.
Some of the ideas discussed seem worthwhile on a personal level and I'm going to try a few when I've completed my present training cycles.
For those interested:

Any feedback on this article would also be appreciated.
K to you , Mike, for once again bringing important concepts to our attention.
