Ditto. I wouldn't get excited about the idea of Irvin outmuscling Silva since Franklin has fought at LHW and was supposed to be a beast (strength wise specifically) and Silva put him over his knee, spanked him and sent him home. Twice.
People talk about freak strength, I think Silva is one of those guys that has it. He isn't ripped at all compared to most MMA guys, he is so lean that you don't expect him to be super strong but from what we have seen I think we can safely say he is a hell of a lot stronger than he looks.
