I forgot about this fight. I feel like this would have been more of a relevant fight a few years back, but it could still be exciting. If I had to pick a winner, I'd pick Silva. Hamill has already retired once and he didn't look great in his return fight. Silva hasn't looked like a world beater either, but I can see him getting a stoppage win here.

Probably the most likely outcome. I wonder if Hamill will retire if he loses.

I'm gonna go against the grain and say Hamill. I think if he is smart enough to not try to bang with Silva he should be able to get this to the ground. Silva isn't a slouch, but I think Hamill's top control is good enough.

This fight should be called the fight of Ring Rust.

here's hoping thiago stays clean and takes the win with a three round one sided dominate beat down; i'd hope for a 1st round KO and KotN for the prize money, but i don't want to get ahead of myself. let's get back on a clean winning streak first.

This should be a fight Thiago wins, but me thinks Hamill can win the decision. He has a hard head enabling him to withstand some very hard shots. After all he withstood every single one of the LHW title holders' elbows winning by DQ. I have to say that's impressive. Vera got TKOed by one shot in the eye socket and pretty much everyone else.

I wish they put Thiago Silva vs Mousassi. I like watching Thiago Silva fight, but I always like to pull for the underdog. So Hamill by split decision albeit a very hard fought battle.

Wow, I just realized I'm the only one picking Hamill. Anybody give me 5 to 1 odds. Small bets. $10k. I win $50k

Hamill better wrestle here. Even then I'm not sure he can take this one...

I'm picking Thiago via stoppage due to strikes.

I do think Thiago Silva hits too hard for Hamill. I think if Hamill came in and stuck to a perfect game plan (simply wrestling Thiago Silva seems to be the way to beat him), he MAY have a good chance of pulling off a uanimous decision. Otherwise, Silva hands are too much for him! I am going to be predictable and say Thiago Silva via 2nd round TKO!!!
