[stroke]

After Silva's last performance, I hope he get's pumbled by Sonnen, but I'm doubtful.

 

[D Quintero]

Silva is God

I predict
he will show off again
get booed
drop bombs
and finally choke homie out!
:yes:

 

[Wink]

Looks like a good line up!

 

[smokinbodybuilder]

Should be a good night. I hope Silva gets his ass handed to him. Also looking forward to Clay Guida. That dude is a maniac!

 

[USNStoops]

if that's the phil davis I think it is I have known him since he was just starting out. we both got our start at the same gym I joined the Navy & I guess he went on to the UFC. You should see when he flares his lats out, its most impressive. That's the fight I will be watching.

 

[GoingPostal]

I along with Dana White hope that the main event is a good one, but i have a feeling Silva is going to dissapoint again. Silva is an amazing fighter but hasn't show it his last couple of fights.

 

[Hardcore]

So anyone placing any wagers?

 

[TheCigarKid]

Can't wait! Hopefully Silva learned from his last fight, to just go in and actually fight to his full potential.

 

[USNStoops]

im no sure no one cares about my PA native Phil Davis but I will put a 5er of whatever sticks you want, up to $125 value, up that he wins.

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

That's him, Phil Davis, from Harrisburg, PA! :thumbsup:

Did you just see that turnaround victory. Holy shi*t that was awesome! I could see that dude was tall, but 6'11"?!?

 

[drob03]

That guy got the crap beat out of him the first round. So far that was the best Fight so far.

Struve has had several of those comebacks in his career so far.


"Silva is an amazing fighter but hasn't show it his last couple of fights."

Silva's problem is he walks around at 225/230 and when he defends his title it's at 185, that's alot of weight to lose everytime he defends his belt. He would be better off fighting at Light Heavy (205), hell, he's undefeated at that weight class now.

 

[drob03]

What a first round. That was awesome. Silva got crushed

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Fantasic first round by Sonnen, but it is a 5 round title fight.

 

[drob03]

So far a 4 round beat down. Silva is going to come out swinging.

 

[drob03]

Wwwwhhhhaaatttt. You were right it's a five round fight. WOW.

 

[Nupe05]

Lol.. Never count out the heart of a champion
