That would be a good one, but the Spider would dominate.

Rashad who? No, that wasn't me making fun of the fight, I seriously have no idea who Rashad Eveans is.

Evans (or Eveans) wants the paycheck, he wouldn't be a serious challenge. On another note, Internet journalists don't seem to have proofreaders, very amateurish copy.

Evans should have to work his way up in the MW division, and I am not so sure he'd make it to Silva...I could see Stann or Bisping beating him....

Evans @ 205lbs and Silva @ 184lbs. That's a big weight difference.

Why not at a catch weight?

Silva weighs 200-215 between fights....and Evans is a small LHW who probably doesn't weight much more than 215-220...

Why so you can get your head banged in?......Again?

Jon Jones must have hit him harder then I thought. Suga is losing his mind. lol

Evans is trying to stay relevant. Rashad got spanked by Lyoto - and he'd get more of the same from Silva.

I'm all for this fight, as I want more 'Shad Face...

I'm referring to walk around weight not water weight.

Silva enters camp at around 198-200 lbs....Evans enters camp at around 210...their walk around weight when not training is roughly the same.
