^^^Word. Speers was ibn the land of oz after that smashing. Seeing the way he was crouched up against the fence I thought he was hurt badly. I think he said his name was Sally when they asked him.

I really want Irvin to knock Silva out, even though the chances are slim. The thing is everyone is human and in the end he'll make a mistake. I don't care how good his chin is if Silva eats a big right hand from Irvin he's gona see some stars.
This fight doesn't make sense, it's a desperate make shift main event with no reasoning. That said I'm looking forward to it, it's an interesting one.

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.

Yeah when murray was commentating on the rivera/silva fight he said silva hits like a heavy weight.

There bloody well better be a way for us to see this live in the UK, at least within a couple days after. I was personally hoping for a GSP vs Silva superfight at MW but I guess that can still happen.
I am glad to see Silva at LHW as other than the aforementioned GSP match up there was nothing for him at MW.
The UFC clearly aren't going to baby Silva for his LHW debut, giving him a big, powerful KO striker as well as a big weight adjustment is alot to handle. I see Silva coming out on top though.
Any card with Silva on it is worth watching and no doubt they'll add a couple more high profile bouts soon, cmon lads, lets not complain about a free event, especially 1 with the worlds top P4Per stepping up in weight.

personally i think this card is going to rock
first of all its free so no one can complain, secondly the silva irving fight should be entertaining
but third and most, franca and edgar should be an awesome awesome fight! Not only do we get to see franca again but edgar is a machine and i cant wait to see him against franca...

meh I'd rather see Silva vs. Irvin over Franca and Edgar. Silva is amazing, As soon as he gets 'the sandman' in the clinch, he's done. Aderson Silva T(KO) round 2.

Silva worship is almost as bad as Machida and Emerson around here. Since when did guys become invincible. Anybody at any time can get lucky.
I think Silva will win but I want Irvin to leave him out cold on the mat. Fedor better kick Tim's ass. Dana will shit a brick I think because even though Tim's not in UFC anymore he was their champ and lost to the current champ who Fedor demolished. FRANKIE EDGAR ALL THE WAY!!! Just dont care for Franca much. Nothing against him personally just not a fan.
Screw Vera, never liked him and dont think hes worth the two ply ultra soft Charmin I wipe my ass with.

People are picking Franca to lose a decision :O
Not much more to say about Silva/Irvin, but I'm checked Anderson's record and he actually hasn't fought anyone that hits as hard or as big as James Irvin. The Sandman actually knows how to throw, better than Rich Franklin, Lee Murray and Dan Henderson. If Silva gets knocked out and Fedor beats Sylvia Dana White's head might explode
Brandon Vera did look small against Werdum, but he had some nice clinch work and rocked Fabricio. There's more talent at 205 for him to contend than in the UFC heavyweight division.
