My opinion is UFC is turning out to be like boxing, a one sided con show to get people riled up. Reality says other fighters with silva's number will come in and put his ass on the ground and when the ref tries to break it up, ignore the fucker and submit him.. muay thai is in no way better than the ground arts.. The Japanese have proven that in combat.. Silva lost plenty in Japan and he still sucks on the ground and against the leg lock. dana white is full of shit with this phony 'rescue me ref' sideshow...

I just got some tickets for CHEAP from a company called 333seat.com. Tickets were only $60 each, less than what my buddy paid when he bought his on Ticketmaster. I called & ordered tickets and FedEx delivered them the next day. If you guys want tickets (they also had some awesome seats near the cage), here is their number, 800-237-8849.

Silva is a great striker, but he doesn't have that one punch KO power,like franklin does, where the opponent is stiff legged and unconcious for 2 minutes.

Sure he has BJJ too, but Silvas biggest weakness is wrestling. Id love to see him fight a solid wrestler like Hughes(he has mentioned moving to 185). A good wrestler like that would dominate him. Unfortunately for Rich, hes not much of a wrestler either. Rich will have to out strike Silva to win.[/quote] Hughes would just be a puching bag for Silva, he can't strike good enough to set up a takedown (look what GSP did to him). Now GSP at 185 is a different story. He could take him down like Lutter did and GnP. Champions don't last long unless they are good wrestlers with good sriking. Silva has the sriking for sure,but someone as controling as GSP is on the ground is a bad matchup. [quote post=”2685″]Of course, just knowing how to strike wont get you too far in MMA.
