He's done very well but hard to look past his lesser experience vs. Silva at 9-0. Silva has some difficulties against great wrestlers but his standup is just ridiculously good, and accurate.

I hope Silva wins

Chris is NOT in the same league as Anderson.

That said, it is possible for Chris to win, but highly improbable.

It actually seems more like a "filler" fight to me, whereas Dana needed to get Anderson back in there for PPV revenue and paired him up with Chris.

Anderson got rocked by a Sonnen punch and mounted by a dehydrated Travis Lutter...anything is possible

I wish the fight was closer then would put "alot" of money him right Now. But then I cant bet on anything until then lol.

Ods are 1.3 which aint Great but for andy is awesome.

Still don't understand the hype. Sure he beat munoz. Thats good. But beating Silva? how about no

the trouble i see for long standing champs like anderson and GSP is that every fight is 'just another title defense'.

where as for their opponent, it is 'my one chance to make the bigtime'.

easier i think to have the fight of your life in your first title fight than to be defending it one more time.

You're right...

For Chris, it will be the fight of his life/career. It's going to mean everything for him.

Whereas, for Anderson, it will simply be another fight and this time to a relatively unknown fighter.

The biggest threat I see to Anderson is if he decides to underestimate his opponent, but he typically doesn't take the Overeem route.

Chris has talked a lot of shit about silva though "afraid" etc. Not sonnen´ish but still a serious ammount. And besides shit talking he has talked A LOT. An INCREDIBLE ammount for being pretty unknown. Hopefully that has annoyed silva.

GSP is friends with Weidman, of course he's going to say that. Also, GSP is scared of fighting Silva, which will inevitably happen before they both retire.

Danzig got his cocky ass knocked the fuck out. LoL at the goth girl who wants danzig's dick shouting cheap shot when Danzig pushed the guy first.

Well he came an inch away from giving the title to Chael (would have won it back in a rematch though) so anything's possible.

I don't see Anderson losing but there is always a chance (but no way).

Like hazbin said, psychologically it seems that Chris has the edge. Again, Anderson is not where he is because of lack of focus, that's for sure.

I pesonally don't think Overeem was cocky, but simply not prepared for that fight and a little (more), out of his usual great shape

honest · « **Reply #17 on:** March 13, 2013, 03:56:47 AM »

I think Weidman is a real chance, hes fresh maybe inexperianced, Silva beats most guys before they enter the ring, this wont be the case, Im picking an upset

No one is in the same league as Anderson at 185. The competition is terrible at middle weight and Anderson knows it. That's why he only ventures out of his weight class to fight mid-tier fighters or fighters like forest griffin, who's slow plodding straight forward style is terrible match up against Silvas counter punching and quickness.

I pesonally don't think Overeem was cocky, but simply not ~~prepared~~ on his previous amount of juice for that fight and a little (more), out of his usual great shape

Fixed.

His stand up looks weak compared to Anderson especially his punches. His ground game is top shelf. Should be interesting.

people say munoz mauled silva in training like chuck used to do to tito

Maybe. I'd really would've like if Dana gave Rampage to Anderson as his last fight - Rampage that is. Rampage bitched and bitched about fighting guys that only wanted to take him down. Would've loved to see Silva against a guy that would have potentially posed a danger to him. Of course Silva would've destroyed Rampage, who can't check a leg kick for shit.

arce1988 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 13, 2013, 06:24:32 PM »

Rampage, who can't check a leg kick for shit.

actually, he does great Muay Thai in TRAINING He NEVER uses it in MMA EVER
