Silva will have a 2 inch reach advantage (77.5 to 75.5) and should be able to land at will. Silva has one of the best jabs in the UFC and I predict Irvin will become intimately acquainted with it on July 19th. People keep raving about Irvin's stand up but I'm not yet convinced. All of Irvin's recent fights have shown very limited glimpses of his stand up ability. IMO Irvin's stand up is similar to Sherk's in that he has good power and technique but poor range. He throws nice hooks and uppercuts but Silva will nuetralize this arsenal by keeping him at a distance. This should translate into an easy win for Silva.
Franca vs Edgar should be very explosive. I'm tipping Franca to return with a dominant display. He is tough as nails and dangerous everywhere. I can see Franca defending take downs early and then turn up the heat for a later rounds KO or submission win.
