I will probably bet Jon Jones tonight. He has a 79" reach, and is a pretty big LHW. He handled Britt pretty well two weeks ago. They both got this fight on 10 days notice. Radach hasn't fought since April 2009 where he got KOd by Scott Smith. Radach is a middleweight and is fighting this fight @ LHW. He is coming off of staph infection DUE to a pec tear that he had surgery on shortly before. Radach stated in the pre fight conference that he has been focusing on work lately and not training when he got the call, Jon Jones just fought a couple weeks ago.
Oh and for the idiots, Jon Jones= Ovince St. Preux
I am almost tempted to take Silva @-345 as well, he will have a 50 lb weight advantage in this fight, Mike Kyle has lost 7 times in his career, and 5 of those losses came from heavyweights. The HWs he has beaten are James Irvin and an old 225 lb Tsuyoshi Kohsaka that is 26-18. I just don't see Kyle having anything for Silva. Silva will have the size advantage, advantage in the striking, and on the ground.
oh and:
"But like I said, I bring a better fight than all of his opponents. I'm better than Arlovski. I'm quicker. I have better boxing. I have a way better boxing game, way better footwork.
I don't think he's going to be able to keep up with me. There's a quote, "speed kills," and I'm really going to try to push that. Use my speed and my good foot movement. ... Hope we get a later-round knockout.
Why would I force him on the ground? I would really like to use my stand-up. I have really good footwork that'll make it hard for him to hit."
Silva should win that easy. But Kyle does have big power. Silva said he wants to stand with him for some reason though. If Bigfoot takes him down, he will have his way with him IMO.
Babalu's movement looked good against Lawler, if he could do something similar to Hendo I think he can pull off a decision if he gets some TDs. Hendo's walk forward style looking for a power right hand might be able to get neutralized tonight.
