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

Why tou would put all your money on Lesnar in his first UFC fight is beyond me. I thought Brock was going to win, but I wouldn't put all my money on him.

Silva is the best fighter in the world and is going to tool Irvin.

I dont' know why anyone would bet on Lesnar period,, I am a big Frank Mir fan, and I said before that fight, like all of Mir's other fights,, if his oppenent makes one mistake ,, leaves a arm or leg out, it is over,, ,,,

anyway back to the Silva deal,, you will not see Silva fight another fight in LHW for a while his next fight in the latter part of the year will be with either Cote or Almaide winner,, ,, this fight with Irvin is just a gauge for Silva and a marketing move by the UFC,, you will not see Silva fight LHW until he loses the Middleweight belt, if he ever loses the belt,, HHAHHAHA

I just realized that this is the same night as the affliction card! LOL! The UFC sure is protective of it's market share!

I just thought that was funny. I guess I'll have to tape one and watch the other live or something

Lot of new names on this fight night card. I know Brad Blackburn from the IFL. Just read an interesting article on him too.

Think this card will be competitive?

[shawnryan]

anderson is overdue. if somone is goona beat him its gonna be in light heavy weight

[hoytong99]

silva is good but id like to see him lose he is cocky if hed get beat hed be less cocky

The UFC showing how sorry they really are. Yushin Okami KO's Tanner and nearly submits Franklin and you don't here from him again because he's Jap. Mike the Count Bisbe should be closest to a title shot. How the **** did Irvin get a title shot?

[Damone]

Irvin isn't fighting for the title. This is at 205.

Anderson by KO in round 2.

Hmmm I haven't followed Irvin much but i haven't seen mention his gas tank. He is an obvious juicer (to anyone that really has followed his physique and the way he has cut..its obvious. His muscles are really tense in fights and the fight where he beat that guy (dont remember his name) by flying knee....was lucky. He lost that first round. He could not get off the ground. Irving always looks tired after a round. In that previous fight that I am referencing I remember Couture and others talk about "what a beast this guy is in camp." That is what I am reading on this thread as well. But I haven't really been impressed with what I have seen. I think Silva by easy KO in this fight.
