I remember Rampage saying that. Irvin has proven again and again that his hands aren't to be tangled with. He knocked Hector Ramirez out with a right hand that he just kinda threw out there. I could definetly see the superman punch putting Silva to sleep.
Like you said earlier his wrestling is really underrated too. He uses his wrestling in reverse like Chuck so that he can keep it on the feet and tee off on fools. Irvin has had a string of injuries so we haven't seen him fight to his full potential yet but this could be the breakthrough that we've been waiting for.

Yeah, I know Irvin wants to entertain the fans, but the guy needs to stop trying to entertain and start putting together gameplans. With his wrestling and underrated top game, he could give Silva problems. Many seem to think Irvin's just a banger, that's not true, he's also a solid wrestler.
Silva's never been hit by someone like James Irvin before.

Henderson also hit Rampage, and Rampage treated it like a slap. Rampage, however, did not treat James Irvin's big right hand like a slap, and that was in a sparring session.

Whose Reese Andy?
Also, Why is Silva vs. Irvin happening again? Is there really a point to this fight?
The way I see it, Silva will submit Irvin in the first by armbar!

Former IFL fighter, who also has a solid win over Jamal Patterson. He likes to take people down and work them. Also, he should be whomped by Vera.
