Anderson Silva is the best striker in the world. Irvin is a very good stand up fighter but he just isn't of the same caliber. He does have a
puncher's chance, as this article suggests, but nothing more.
I'll be surprised if I have to eat crow tomorrow. I say Silva by knockout, maybe even in the first round.
So going to 205 is setting up some great fights with Anderson Silva vs... Liddell... Rampage... a number of others. If it goes this way, then we'll really
see what Silva is made of.
It will be interesting to see what the UFC does with Silva now. He doesn't want to fight at light heavyweight to the point of a championship because he
works out with Lyoto Machida and considers that to be Machida's belt. But he seems willing to fight some of the fighters in the division, anyway.
It is going to be COTE. by knock out!!! Kenw5, Do you really think Silva has it in him to be all he can be? its not grade school anymore! I think that is as
far as he made it.... But who knows, Bill Gates dropped out of college and look at him now... Good luck Silva!!!! But I have this GUTTTT feeling that its not
your time. No offense you can kick my butt anyday. And you are one of my favorite fighters, but may the best man win.
