    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
    Vitor has a good chance to win, he has big power and fast hands. What we must realize is though Anderson is not going to have to worry about the take downs like he did with Sonnen, so I think he will be more explosive.

    Anderson really needs to get back to the fighter he use to be, he was fearless and very explosive and the most accurate puncher in the sport. Vitor is older now, but he proved against a tough Franklin that he can still bang with the big boys. I pick Anderson because I am thinking Anderson knows he is in for a stand up war and he will come prepared.

    Jones is the breakout athlete, this is how I see him.. he bust on to the scene and began dominating some of the best wrestlers in teh division. He has mad skills and is a tough kid, I like him and he has a great attitude. Bader is tough for anyone, but I have to go with bones on this one, how could you bet against him?

    Not fearing the TD will be huge, it will let Silva be more open in his kicks and offensive attacks. Vitor will never attack AS like Sonnen did.

    Vitor has fast hands, no doubts about it. But he has never been known for his gas tank nor his mental toughness. Plus the fact he has never even fought at MW in the UFC, he has not made MW in like 4 years now. The Franklin fight was at 195, and he just caught Rich on the temple.

    Silva has had to adjust his style with the last few opponents since they were so scared of striking with Silva. Maia for example. Silva just embarrassed him for two and a half rounds, and quit because Maia refused to engage til very late in the fight. That will not be a problem with Vitor, and we could see him try and come out Leben-style or Forrest-style and go right at Vitor.

    why are you keeping this up v?

    its obvious we know who you are, but have accepted it and let it go. its not a big deal anymore. nobody cares. no need to keep this act up anymore.

    you have not been anywhere near as obnoxious any more as you once, so nobody hates you or wants you banned any more. some of the guys give you a hard time ONLY because you keep up this charade

    It doesnt matter where I am from. Do you see me asking 50 questions about anyone else? I think you sometimes go over board with harassing other members. That is the only thing I find out of line about you.
