hendo was a world champion at 205.
it's not like silva hasnt fought fighters who have been successful at light heavyweight.
i mean do people claiming 'definite ko' realize that silva has never been stopped by strikes or ko?

hahaha how short some peoples memories are. Its as if Pride never existed and Hendo's belt was nothing more than an ornament.
This is the last thing I will say about the fight (for today). For people talking about the size discrepency... Silva is a HUGE MW and would also be arespectable sized LHW. I've read that dude walks around at anywhere between 200-220. Its not like Silva is walking into this fight at 205 soaking wet. He probably will need a slight cut to meet the 205 limit. As far as strength is concerned, sure Silva is not built like Brock or anything but he isdeceptively strong. If you hear any of his training partners talk about it (like Nog for instance) they always mention his deceiving strength. The reachissue, I havent seen the exact measurements but they dont call him Spider for nothing. Silva is what... 6'0? 6'1? but has knuckles that drag on thefloor. He is not going to give up much, if any, in the reach department. What you are going to see are two legitimate 205ers going at it, not 1 undersizeddude vs a monster.

why do people keep saying things like this without any reasoning?
ok, amir is going to beat hendricks by tickling him into submission.
hey....that was kinda fun.

Thats true about Henderson but they fought at 185
and I wasn't saying its going to be a "definite KO" I'm saying it could possibly be one but I think its most likely gonna be Griffin bydecision

not everyone is as into MMA as some of us are, and maybe they just dont like to spend countless hours trying to breakdown a fight and analyze it?
my fiancee finds it borderline amusing/pathetic that I spend so much time following MMA.

^by GNP? hmm...I can see him out-wrestle Silva but a battle on the ground though...I'll give Silva the edge.

I guess themoney's good.

If the drive from AZ wasn't so damn long, I'd be there in an instant lol. Nothing like free drinks at the expense of another less fortunate fella!!
Dude offering to buy another dude 50 bucks worth of drinks? Suspect, as a matter of fact MAD suspect

If Forrest wins, it will be an upset on the level of Serra over GSP, Gonzaga over Cro Cop, etc. It would be greater than his win over Shogun.

False. If it goes to the ground I see Silva dominating, but if its standing Forrest will put a hurting on Silva's face...lets go Forrest

Fact. Kimbo Slice = hype. Paulo Filho = Hype. Andersen Silva is the truth.
And I don't even like him that much, but he is a damn good fighter.

Yet to be seen if Silva is the truth at 205.

True as far as running the division. But we seen 60 seconds worth of what he can do to bigger guys. Ask James Ervin.

weigh in notes:
first and foremost, Logan Stanton is HOT.
dang amir weighed in at 166.
both he and hendricks physiques look like they could possibly make 155. amir is already pretty skinny abut hendricks could lean out a lot.
im pretty sure the first time he said his name joe called ricardo almeida 'ricario'
.
silva acting like he's really wondering if he'd make weight.
