I liked it. Irvin seems to be very focused. Franca is going to wreck Edgar. And then the UFC will send him to the WEC so he can join the 145 division. It will happen.

CB vs Jesse is looking to be o.k, nothing more, nothing less. I hope it is different, but we will see.

Vera is being fed a can, so he can get back in the winning column. I hope Reese wins, but just can't see it happening.

Anderson doesn't look bad at 205, but Irvin is "at home" at 205. This will defintely be a challenge for Silva.

Physically, Irvin looks alot stronger than Silva, but that doesnt mean anything..

i see this fight going alot like franklin vs. silva 2...but a part of me wants irvin to viciously KO silva and do the 'bang bang' thing immediately after in badass fashion ala houston alexander

Ditto

That comparison photo is awesome, still in good shape at 205

Did anyone else smirk when Irvin said he would get Silva in the clinch?

adobostreak · 07-18-2008, 02:56 PM

in the photo it looks like theres only about a 10lb difference. the right he just looks well hydrated

Uchaaa · 07-18-2008, 04:58 PM

Weird. I cant really see the +20lbs in these pictures. Without the weight information I couldnt even say in which one he is heavier.

Nice pic!!! And repped. Anderson actually looks better at 205. His just looks more proportioned and he looks stronger too. He looks sickly in the face at 185 IMO.

I have to admit, I did. But then I thought "what if he actually does surprise Silva in the clinch?" I know it's unlikely but anything can happen, as I always say

As for the pic, Silva looks a lot better at 205 than I thought he would.
