I'm still really on the fence about this fight. I think Silva is going to come out looking different here and win. But then again Brown has looked like a killer as of late.
Either way this fight is going to be exciting as hell
Forgot to mention that one lacks any sort of ground game defense.
I see it very close to 50/50, This is one of the longer layoffs for Brown and while it's been a tidy 6 win run, he hasn't faced someone like Silva who is also very fast out the gate.
Matt Brown wont let himself be a easy fight for anyone, this is going to be a war. Brown has developed his skills and Silva is naturally talented, idk who will win but Im leaning Silva's direction because of his explosiveness.
Matt Brown has proven that he can withhold an early barrage from opponents and find a way to win in the later rounds. I got a tonne of respect for this guy turning his career completely around, dude has some serious heart.
Silva has proven to be a little arrogant and cocky in the octagon, getting KO'd by Kim is pretty awful. His gas tank isn't great either., but on paper he is an excellent fighter with heaps of potential......
I haven't seen Browns fight with Kim, but I think most people thought Brown should have edged the decision, this was a while back now though.
I'm a Silva fan more than a Brown fan, but I'd like to see Brown get a win here because he's more consistent with his wins and I think he will eventually get a title shot, where as Silva is far less consistent and I don't think he could really do anything with this win, probably lose his next fight.
its funny that someone said Silva might get a late submission because i think the longer this fight goes, the more i favor a Brown win.
Silva has been disappointing so far. he has a ton skill, but his conditioning is sub par and he isn't the most intelligent fighter. Brown on the other hand has improved a ton and looks like a completely different fighter since coming off of the ultimate fighter. hes a tough guy and is a great finisher. he just has that in your face style and is durable enough to make it work.
if Silva fights smart and manages to get this one to the ground. he has a legit chance to win since his submissions are solid and Brown has had questionable submission defense in the past, but i think the safe bet is on Brown.
Was just thinking this. Those blitzes that Silva goes on are hard to stop but Brown has never been stopped by strikes so I could see Silva blitzing him hurting him and jumping on a sub early. The longer the fight goes though the more I lean Brown.
