I expect Silva to win easily but, I would give Irvin a better chance of KOing Silva than I gave Serra of KOing GSP. Thats why I can't understand this match up. It' like Jardine vs Houston but worse. Why threaten the Silva legacy by creating a meaningless fight against an average and unpredictable opponent? It's just desperate and dumb.
Franca vs Edgar should be explosive. I hope Franca can return with a dominant performance and stake his claims at the top of the LW division.

i cant believe the UFC threw toghether this crap just to compete with Affliction. Other than Silva/Irvin, i couldnt care less about this one.
Ah but it's some free fights on TV and it does include maybe the best fighter in the UFC. I think the Franca/Edgar fight should be entertaining as well.
Silva will pick Irvin apart on the feet and will need to avoid Irvin's heavy hands. Frankie and Franca should be fun, we'll get to see Hermes shake off the ring rust. Hopefully, Burns v. Johnson will give us a slick submission or a brutal KO. I'm looking forward to watching this commercial-free on my DVR after the Affliction event.

That bout needs to be on the main card. Both fighters lasts performances were stellar.
Anderson is going to get KO'd. I just have really bad feelings about the fight, and thats what my gut is telling me. Weird shit always happens in Irvin fights.
Im excited to see Silva and Irvin, granted I have only seen a couple of Irvin's fights, and him sparring with Rampage. But it seems he is heavy handed, and going from what others have said, he must have solid wrestling, I really want to see if Silva is as elusive with 20 more pounds on his frame. If not, he may get caught. Stoked to see Franca back as well.

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.
You can't deny the power in silva's hands either. He was the only one to drop leben and hendo.
Not denying it, dude definitely has power. Didn't Lee Murray say that he was the hardest hitter he's ever faced?
Johnson should kill Burns. Like, I'm talking kill. The thing I will say about Johnson: When he kills, he freakin' kills. Tommy Speer's is still drinking Ensure and wearing a diaper.
