How am I supposed to know you voted for Silva? Theres nothing wrong with having a biased opinion. I'll tell you that Forrest is going to beat LilNog [its biased] but i have faith in him.

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!

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

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!!!!

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.

yeah you certainly have a good point... but im sure you know as well as i do mma math sometimes just doesnt work out.. we cant really know... but one thing we do know is that nate is just as fast as vitor and have just as much power and look what happened to him..

everyone gets jitters when its they're time and they're in the spotlight they just seem to throw theyre gameplan out the window...it happened to Nate it happened to Diego against BJ and whose to say it won't happen to Vitor

 

All I'm saying is it won't be another cakewalk for Anderson.

That being said I wouldn't bet against him, which is why I voted for him

Vitor is not new to big fights, hes been in the spotlight before, Diego didnt throw out the game plan, he just couldnt take him down. I didnt get to see the Nate fight so I dont know about that.

right and theres a good chance that could happen when he steps in the the cage with someone who has the aura of undisputed and best fighter in history radiating around him...

 

if you talk to any of the people who have fought silva they will say they all came in with a game plan and when they started to feel him out and fight with him the game plan went out the window...

 

same with BJ penn as u saw with deigo... i dont think deigo cracked because he was under the spotlight hes been under it several times and he said he felt like it was his time i just dont think he relized what he was up against once he realised what he was up against he didnt know wtf to do...

right and it could happen and it also may not who knows until fight night right? all I'm saying is people are taking him lightly when IMO he is a big threat to Andersons title. Unlike Hardy, Vitor actually has a chance against the champ.

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.

Are you saying Rich Franklin and Forest Griffin arent good strikers? Leben wasnt bad either

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.

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.
