UFC 143

[SPX]

The thing about Rockhold is that he's not JUST a striker. Silva is really good on the ground, but not good like he's good on the feet. What if Rockhold was able to take Silva down? No one thinks he might actually be the better grappler?

[Mr. IWS]

BOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry cause I have no idea what I'm talking about anyway.

Im just giving you shit. I think the guy that beats anderson follows the Chael Blueprint, so its gonna be a bad ass wrestler with good sub defense.

[Mr. IWS]

Edgar beat BJ after everyone said BJ was unbeatable at LW. Etc. . .

Dam nigga, you HAD to bring that up?

[Luke]

I remember when you where my boy.

while all that is true, and someone will eventually get to him. He is demolishing everyone that is thrown at him, save for a roided up Chael who fought him with a broken rib.

Well I don't believe for a minute that Silva's rib was broken when the fight started, so if it ended up broken during the match then that's because Sonnen broke it.

But like you say, someone will eventually get to him. Just like Serra had his night to beat GSP. Fedor now can't seem to win a fight after going undefeated for 10 years. Edgar beat BJ after everyone said BJ was unbeatable at LW. Etc. . .

[Mr. IWS]

Don't think ANY striker can beat Silva. Think Weidman,Sonnen or that caliber wrestler can though.

[Mr. IWS]

I think Sonnen gets blown the fuck out in the rematch.

Agreed. Even if a striker had Silva in trouble Silva can still use his grappling as an out. He got Sonnen down a couple times (even though he was reversed, but that's Sonnen). But the only person in the top 5 I see beating Silva would be Sonnen. Munoz/Silva is sort of interesting as well..but I still like Silva in that one

[Mr. IWS]

I fail to believe that Silva is an unstoppable machine. I won't argue that he's not great, but any top fighter has a chance to hurt him and win. Anyone in the top 5 has at least some legitimate percentage to win.

Nah, it was more than just him. There was a time when people were saying the same about Mousasi, too.

Wasn't one of them. People say dumb things all the time.Doesn't mean they have any merit.

[Luke]

I'm saying that to act like it's an absurd notion is silly. I mean, not too long ago people were talking about Jacare giving Silva problems.

"those people" were MMAscientist .He also says every BJJ guy has a chance of defeating Silva so...................

[SPX]

Why you telling me this?I was one of the only people that said he was going to stomp Jardine. But Jardine doesn't = beating Silva.
