make picks

and i see it going down one of two ways;

if vitor wins, its in first two rounds
anything after, and silva wins.

vitor has great hands, but silva has a more diversified offensive attack. if silva can survive the initial onslaught and get vitors timing down, he will have some success striking. im extremely excited because i bet silva is 100% motivated for this fight. this is a huge fight, against a good striker. some people knock silva for only fighting grapplers (which is dumb, Lee Murray, Rivera, Franklin, Hendo (at that stage), Mach Sakurai (one of top p4p guys when silva beat him, he was undefeated too), Cote, and Frykland were all strikers). and if he can finish Belfort it answers a huge question.

be fun,i cant wait
