confidence=cocky if you don’t like a fighter. so him saying it’s an honor to have this fight to move up to do this for the ufc means nothing him being humble means nothing? you only look at the fact he showed some confidance and you turn that into somthing bad. real adult of you.

THis fight is a JOKE!!! What would u guys say if t he UFC announced that that James Irvin was fighting Forrest for the light heavyweight title? U would all cry BS cuz Irvin doesnt deserve it, so why the hell does any believe that he deserves to be fighting the spider, because Silva is moving up in weight? Grow up, that crap doesnt matter….

True MMA warriors have always been able to win against Tough guys that weighed heavier than them, and I expect Silva to do the same. HE is the best UFC champion, NO WAY IRVIN deserves a shot! Silva is actually a natural LHW, he has fought at that weight plentty of times in his career, so he wont even be outweighted…not by much at all!

Silva is a legend, and like all Legends, weight isnt much of an issue. U got the Great Sakuraba who has never fought a man his own size…Hendo always fights out of weight class, wanderlei fought Hunt/Cro Cop/ Beat Fujita

Weight is over exagerated…if yo got it, then you got it!

Fedor coiuld cut down to 205, because he is a very small heavyweight….dont tell that to the list of great fighters that he has made look Silly.

we have a top p4p fighter and UNDISPUTED UFC/Pride champion vs. maybe a top 15 lightheavyweight? What a joke!

Not mine either, but then again, I certainly never thought he would end up on Ryo Chonin’s highlight reel. I think that Silva will win this fight, but it will not be a walk in the park.

He’s not going to dominate 205 but he’s going to dominate Irvin…

I have to agree with u Tabasco, I think Silva has the edge here but he’s not going to dominating at 205.

Yep, pretty sure you’ll get over it. but my friend, placin’ money on Irvin is like throwin’ away good money. But then again, this is MMA so WTF am I sayin’ here?!?

I think a lot of guys here don’t realize that the UFC MW and LHW class differ in 20 lbs. 20 lbs!!! That’s a huge amount of weight difference regardless of the cutting involved.

Imagine if you gained 20 lbs. of weight. Whether it be muscle or fat, your athletic ability would be vastly different. Anderson’s advantage is his lean, quick fighting style. Adding 20 lbs doesn’t help with his speed.

I’m surprised the amount of guys freely giving this fight to the Spider. He’s among my favorite fighters. But, I don’t think it will be the cake walk for Silva everyone thinks it will be.

He has the right to be cocky. P4P best in the world, what do you expect. They’re fighters.
