    Well a few things. One he has power in his hands. Two he has a black belt in bjj and judo. Three he is much larger than Fedor. I probably won't bother betting it but he has ways to win. I am rooting for Fedor to win in decisive fashion though. I want him and Overeem to win so they fight each other.

    imo Fedor has a huge speed advantage. After round 1 (if this is the case), I think Fedor is going to light him up. Silva has stated he has found the blue print to beat Fedor from the Werdum fight. I am guessing that means he is going to try and get this to the mat, or just fall to his back and hope for a good chance at a triangle lolz

    Yeah Fedor should def have the speed advantage but Silva is soo big I would think he can muscle a takedown and/or push him up against the cage wall. He also has a lot of punching power, probably a reach advantage as well. I'm not saying he is better than Fedor, he is just really big and a competent fighter in all areas.

    Silva should be one of the more well rounded fighters Fedor has fought. Def one of the most well rounded LARGER fighters he has fought. This isn't hong man choi,

    Have you looked at any of the other fights on the card? The reserve bouts?

    Chad Griggs opponent( Gianpiero Villante ) was a collegiate football player and wrestler at Hofstra. Griggs just beat a wrestler though in Bobby Lashley but supposedly there was something up with Lashley at the time.

    Bobby claims he had mono and was dehyrdated. He gassed in the second round and got his ass kicked.

    I swear, the more I look at this fight, (especially how well Kyle did standing against Silva), this shit has Zulu written all over it.

    Griggs is a 32 year old guy who was one of those guys that beat complete cans in those hillbilly type fights for the most part (kinda like McCorkle) and was brought into Strikforce to lose to Lashley. We all saw how that went, and I think this is going to cause some hype around him. Besides Lashely, Griggs best win was against John Marsh in the IFL who is 2-7 in his last 9. Even though he beat Lashley...it's not like he dominated that fight. Lashley just realized in that fight he hated getting hit in the head.

    Villante is one of those beast athletic up and coming prospects (kinda like OSP) that has been demolishing everybody he has fought (cans as well, but some were some "upper level cans"). He has a background in football and wrestling, and has a BJJ blue belt. They both have lots of 1st round wins, but Villante seems to be one of those guys that is going to just keep getting better and better. It's hard to find video on this guy because the organization makes you buy them and shows like minute previews of his fights on youtube.

    These guys are both small HWs, 225ish. Villante is usually a LHW so I am sure after this fight he will be fighting at LHW.

    Yeah Villante seems like an actual athlete. I'll do some reading on Griggs, I have a feeling he will open as a healthy favorite. These guys both have a lot of tko/ko wins so if I bet Villante it will only be for 1 or 2u probably. If he is a good enough dog though that should be good enough for a decent haul.

    I don't know about that. Griggs just beat Bobby Lashley and BL is famous. Even if Griggs opens as a dog he will probably get bet quite a bit.

    Ok so the other fights on the card:

    Ray Sefo vs Valentijn Overeem

    Shane Del Rosario vs Lavar Johnson


    Anybody looked at these yet?


    The more I look/think about Fedor/Silva, I want to bet Fedor.
