Was that the video where Rampage said, "Irvin be kickin' my ass!" with Scott Smith laughing in the background? That was cool, because Irvin's wrestling looked really good. Randleman couldn't takedown Rampage, yet Irvin was doing it non-stop. |

Irvin is underrated on the ground like no other..........I'm pulling for him against Anderson. I think he has a pretty good chance at de-throning the King.

True, but Bonnar's ground game is pretty damn good, especially when Carlson Gracie was alive to motivate him.
Irvin's ground game has improved a ton after that fight.

Yep Cabby, that is what they said about Leben,Franklin,Lutter,Marquardt,Franklin, and Hendo,, I am a huge Silva fan, and I realize that he will eventually get beat, but I definitly don't think it will be Irvin, I think if a good Irvin shows up it will be a great fight with Anderson winning by stoppage,TKO,, and I hear all this talk about Irvin hitting rampage hard etc,etc,etc,, but Hendo went 5 rounds with Rampage,, and Silva made hendo look like a rag doll,, but that is really not a good comparison,, for the same reason as Liddel and Quinton fought twice Rampage won both,,, then Wanderlai Silva and Rampage fought twice and Wanderlai won both,, then Wanderlai fought liddel and lost,, you see what I mean,

although i agree im still watching Affliction. But yeah i dont think its impossible for Irvin to win. Irvin hasnt lost more than once on (t)ko ( yes i wiki'd it, but i knew it was a low number ) and thats where silva gets most of his victories. Plus it must be somewhat nervewracking to fight irvin cuz you sort of always have to be on guard for that ONE big shot |

I think Silva will be able to avoid that 'one big KO punch' from Irvin and come out with a TKO or decision. It's not like I'm a diehard fan of Silva but I just don't think Irvin can KO an amazing striker like Silva. I'm excited to see the Vera fight as well, he should be on fire because of his last loss to Werdum.
And yes, this is what the 'record' button is for

So how many of you guys plan on betting Irvin?
I know I'm betting all my money on Anderson and Vera. There is no way they're going to lose.

Ya bud you go ahead and put aaaaaaaaaaaaall your money on Silva lol
Thats what I did in the Lesnar fight I fn bet the whole damn FARM and Lesnar had Mir bent over his knee but still lost.
Dont think it can happen? Silva aint gonna win forever and Im keeping my fingers crossed he actually wins this fight so I can see him fight a more credible lhw like Forrest or Rampage, Maybe Wandy or how bout Thiago Silva?
Think Thiago wouldnt tune Anderson up? Wait... cause if Silva wins this fight it could just be Silva vs Silva
