This had to be done and finally we'll get to see Silva tested by a dude that wont turtle up and try and some how pull a points victory out of his ass. Should be an insane fight with Forrest involved.

Forrest for mine. Far too big.

Silva TKO...but will be an awesome fight. Silva's hands and feet will be too fast for Forrest IMO. Having said that, if Silva is going to be beaten at the moment then Forrest is the man to do it so it wouldn't surprise me. I think Forrest will eventually get frustrated and charge Silva and probably cop one of the eight spider keens to the chin.

Be the first time in his career that Silva will have fought someone naturally bigger than him, so it should be interesting. I think Anderson can take a decision here.

Same for me. I can see Anderson stopping Forrest, but a decision to Griffin is much more likely.

Hopefully this is a long bloody duel like Griffin VS Bonnar.

Silva for mine, but I think the fight that everyone really wants to see is Silva vs GSP

Actually bullsh..t i'm mistaken it was discussing cro cop vs fedor. I love bas when he's getting all animated with his nods and shakes of the head whenever mauro says something supposedly insightful.

wow, it didn't take long for people to forget how good the spider is!

massive ups to forest for taking this fight. it's a fight thats going to cause him problems - and as good as silva is, does beating silva really do anything for griffin? not sure on that one... i think more than anything taking this fight proves what a company minded guy he is. (perhaps he takes a fight like this to try and guarantee a job for life)

so expect him to come out guns blazing - resulting in him getting his head kicked off in the first 90 seconds i reckon.

I see Forrest snoring early in this fight. Early in the 2nd.

Anderson is the best counter striker in the sport and Forrest will eventually get frustrated and charge him. This will result in Anderson sending him to sleep.

I do love Forrest, however i see him fast becoming the gate-keeper at 205.
