Didn't he weigh in at 183 his last fight? I don't think 6 more pounds would be "career suicide", especially if he took his time and slimmed down for several months first


That's a lot for him to cut. I stood less than 10 feet away from him from him for about 5 minutes right before his Irvin fight, and then watched ringside, and he was AT LEAST 220 but that was a 205lb fight. I just can't imagine him being under 180 because he is like 6"2 or maybe even 6"3. He would have to lose A LOT of muscle.

I think the same with Bones at this point, which is why I want to see Silva with Machida 1st. His camp avoided the idea when Machida was the man, and I've been all for the idea ever since.

I would be interested in that one as well. I think Anderson wins, but it would be a interesting competitive fight.

No MW can beat Silva. He just has too much of a size and skill advantage.

At LHW though there are plenty of guys that could beat him. Not all would beat him, but I can think of a half dozen that would win 1/2 or 1/3 against him.

And Bones would win 8/10.

Anderson is too fast and too smart he'll take Jones out of his comfort zone and make him look silly.

No.

And Jones comfort zone is nearly infinite inside the cage.

It would be a mismatch and get ugly as quickly as Jones wanted it to get ugly.

yep, Jones has a 6inch reach and clinch and wrestling... dont want to see it until Silva fights someone near that caliber at LHW

Jones isn't comfortable chasing and trying to cut the cage. Anderson would out speed him and out think him to a 1 sided decision

you must consider how much younger Jones is and his athleticism. At this stage can Silva overcome that? This weekend may tell us more

Obviously the longer it takes to happen the more in favor it goes to Jones but if they fought today no doubt in my mind Anderson would own him.

With Jones in full mount swinging and missing, then being submitted?

I think certain fighters have no business going up a weight class. GSP to 185 would be him showing up at like 190 and Silva showing up at 220 by the time they got into the cage.

I want to see GSP/ HendriCBS and Silva/Jones

Fedor vs a respectable fighter.

It doesn't have to be Cain or JDS.
