Jack2Bowl Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 We all know that Silva i going to win but I think its time for someone else to hold the belt. Anyway I am rooting for Belfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sepsism Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I would love for Belfort to win (fav all time fighter). He has the potential for an upset but I don't see it happening. 70/30 in Silva's favor IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMA_Fanatic_89 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Wow i can't believe this poll is even close. Vitor has had one fight since being back in the UFC and it was against Franklin who is far past his prime. So is Vitor for that matter. Anderson by devastating KO. I mean how can people still doubt this guy. What else does he have to do to prove that he is the best ever. Damn people come on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImTheBest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Why can't you believe it?I voted Silva but he won't finish decisively like against an over rated Forrest watch when the fight happens than you'll see why and forrest isnt overrated hes just inconsistant.. im not a big forrest fan but i dont care what the hell condition rampage and shogun where in to beat those fighter in the worst of shape is still impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docsavage Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 who's gonna win lets hear those opinions my reason is vitor is more hungry time to eat puts him back in the mix people have forgot this dud has some of the best hands in the game dana is doing better on the fight cards he makeing the best fight the best and this will be a war.

Rambo89 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 The way I have seen Vitor evolve since he was a big buff 20 year old fighter and the way he fights now... I could see a potential upset... I think the striking is "fair"... I say fair because although Silva has foughten strikers before (Franklin, Henderson), Vitor has a different style and technique that I think will challenge Silva. With that said, I believe Silva can still get the win but it will be his most competitive test yet. I think Silva will finish it in the 3rd or 4th round.. I hope it lasts that long because these are my #2 and #3 favorite MiddleWeights.. #1 being Nate Marquardt who will get the winner of this fight.. Also the winner of W.Silva/Bisbing will get thrown in there as well... REALLY lookin forward to see what happens in the MW division in 2010!!!!

UFC_one4life Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I think silva will win, if he feels like it. what I don't understand is why they haven't let him try for the 205 belt(I know about thewhole machida friendship, i mean b4 he was 205 champ). it has been obvious to me silva had no contenders after henderson why not let him go for it then?

aKaBeasTTT Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 watch when the fight happens than you'll see why Vitor has striking on par with Silva IMHO...he finished Franklin faster than Silva ever did as for everything else Vitor has the same credentials as Silva such as black belts and what not. I think it will be closer than most of you think, if not a win for Belfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMA_Fanatic_89 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Silva is going to smash Vitor an after he does, you haters are going to be on here posting about how Belfort wasn't deserving of the title shot and that he is washed up and a has been.

Unlike Hardy, Vitor actually has a chance against the champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentson Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Vitor has some real skills. I'm not saying that he will win but he is Anderson's biggest threat at 185 imo. He has the hand speed and boxing skills to hang with Anderson on the feet. Its a interesting fight since we really havn't seen Anderson against a skilled striker before. If i were putting money on the fight it would be on Anderson but don't count Vitor out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armbarvictim Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'm going with Vitor on this one. The dude is training the way he should have been all along. Harder training and the natural talents that he already had make him more dangerous than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkReflection Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Silva is obviously the favorite. And I'm picking him to win.

alliedwarior Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 who's gonna win lets hear those opinions All I can say is Vitor is the best striker Anderson has faced and I hope we get to see the chin of the Silva tested. Vitor has power and speed unlike any other person Silva has beat. Its goin to be interesting two southpaw brazlian strikers who has BJJ blackbelts who have never really been koed,(i dont count the randy tkos) I really dont know, Im going for Vitor though and he has the best chance of anyone to face the champ yet.

Technique Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 IMO the really technical strikers give Anderson some trouble. Not much but enough! Rich was winning in the stand-up at the beginning of their first match-up frustrating Silva until he went to the clinch and destroyed Rich. After that the damage was done and Silva could go to town in the stand-up getting the TKO victory We saw what Vitor did to Rich. I think it's going to be a real test for Anderson. I have a feeling Vitor is going to shock a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
