Ur both wrong. Silva just isn't big enough to take on Jones whom IMO is like Anthony Johnson as in he is fighting out of his weight class. Silva offers nothing in regards to better elusiveness than Machida and I can't in good minedness say that Silva hits HARDER than Machida. Jones is too big to be talking about fighting even smaller guys.
Sup Bucky! Yeah I saw both fights and in the second Manny looked better than the first and the Manny we see now-a-days is a far more dangerous fighter and he comes forward a lot more than he did back then. I think its an easy pick for Manny which saddens me.....Quit being a baby Floyd and give the fans the fight we crave!!!
Jones is going to eclipse Silva and GSP if he keeps it up....He might end up as a dominant HW because nothing at LHW seems like it can touch him...no one I mean. I want to see him fight Machida and after that fight LHW looks locked down.
"He is a one dimensional fighter coming off of a beating of mythical proportions at the hands of Bones Jones. Again...Lets keep things in perspective."
You could say the same about Rua then....he took a beating of mythical proportions from Bones....at this point measuring someone by their performance against bones is like saying...the Braves lost a clean sweep to the Yankees so they'll never be a viable team again. It just ain't true
I don't like that Rudedog said GSP hasn't been challenged. The same complaint can then be made about Silva prior to UFC 117.
GSPs recent wins have all been better than: Silva/Cote, Silva/Leites, Silva/Maia...
So lose the GSP hasn't been challenged BS. He is hands down owning the top guys in the world at WW. Fitch and Alves are widely considered #2 and #3. No one else is beating them except GSP.
Jim, I hate to agree with you but GSP has the style that would ruin Silvas day IMO.
Assassin, your Jake Sheilds pick was better....but it was the Couture and Hendo picks that allowed Pimp to take the W.
Good TD guys. Both had good points. I hated the King Mo pick but the Askren one was like a sweet sleeper. I also hate Koshpoke but I can see the argument.
Pimp, add Sheilds or Fitch over Mo and I'd give you a 5 for 5.
Tex beat cinci
Tebow beats bears
Newton over Ryan
Pack beat raiders
Fins over eagles
Saints easy win titans

Sounds like Evans when he fought Rampage.....scared of a stand-up ever since Machida!
