The reach is only a half inch different between these two.

I bet Forrest still has Anderson by 10 pounds when they step into the ring.

You can't tell a damn thing from that picture except that there is no height advantage. Forrest is a hoss, he will be the bigger guy on fight night.

Forrest probably lost a lot more water weight that he will put back on, and like others have said will probably weigh around 10 lbs more than Anderson tomorrow.
I doubt Forrest would win if Anderson came in at 185 though.

You're probably right. Anderson is just so good, I'm not even sure why I want him to lose other than Forrest seems like such a cool guy.

I dislike Anderson Silva more and more as time goes on. He is really starting to run his mouth a lot lately. I have always wanted him to lose but just because he wins too much for someone I'm not a fan of. But now I'm really starting to dislike the guy.

Forrest will certainly be bigger then Anderson come fight time and it will be apparent. Im not so sure its going to help though.

You can't see Anderson's skinny spider legs in that picture.

Somehow that's an advantage for Spider. They are like blades.

So I checked the reaches and Anderson is 6'2" with a 77.5" reach and Forrest is 6'3" with a 77" reach. These are according to UFC 90 & 92.
