5-5 for all 3 is closer

Which is why I phrased it "doesn't get much closer".

One of the best things about this card, I just bought a new laptop so now I can stream in full HD, no more 7 fps 360p streaming!

Sweet, my laptop does great with the facebook fights.

Also, no dumb ignorant booing from just bweeders every 30 seconds.

I know. I'm just an ass

Surprised so many are picking Silva.

His chin held up vs Le and Ace. He still packs a punch and Stann is no world beater. Wand has a very good chance to win this fight.

Stann has ridiculous power in his hands and has shown a great beard so far, given how far Wandi has declined this is a horrible match up for him.

His last two fights were FotN. Split with losses to Franklin and Leben and wins over Le and Bisping. I don't consider it to be to significant of a decline. He isn't Wand of 2003, but he is plenty capable of competing and winning.

Hater.

Wandi's 3-5 since he joined the UFC, it's beginning to look like Cro Cop where everyone is refusing to believe that he's over the hill.

He beat down Bisping pretty good and I bet he would do it again in a rematch. I think you are overreacting. He can still blast a lot of fighters.

I would hardly call that a beatdown, it was a pretty close fight up until Wandi pulled off a flurry at the end that dropped Mike.

Yeah give him 5 more seconds and Mike's career might be over. It would have been a brutal knockout if it didn't happen at the buzzer. Give him another shot and Mike is going out cold. He got very, very lucky in that fight. He should be walking around missing his front chicklets like Hendo.

I thought Bisping was literally saved by the bell in that fight.

Yeah any Morris time on the clock and his career comes to a Screeching halt. He was lucky it happened right at the Belding.

If I recall Wand went 25 good minutes in his last fight as well, and in that, Franklin was also saved by the bell in a 10-8 2nd round. Silva is at any moment a few punches away from finishing anybody he fights against.

I agree GDP but damn as a silva fan from inception I dont like to watch him anymore for real fear of him getting KOed. I know its trivial but I dont want to remember him losing badly to the likes of leben.

It happens, I can't expect every fighter I like to go out like Elway though, careers are like mountains, there is only one peak.

My biggest concern with Wanderlei his past few fights has been his feet, not so much the actual foot work, but he just doesn't ever seem planted, like he is always sliding or something.

Yeah but on the flip side there is no feeling like watching Wand win. It's better then sex.

But have you considered this?

Watching Hunt win is great. But watching Wand win is something special. With Chuck retired Hendo and Wand are in there own league. Then it works down to Nog, JDS, Hunt and a few others. Still love seeing Pulver get a win. Just pure fighters at heart, gotta love it.

Also, yep. Silva is a big reason I became HCore MMA fan. 90's were cool but practically a novelty compared to where things ended up in the early 2000's.

Well accordion to a recent gallop poll:










This seems so up Mark Hunt's Alley of Death.

But because it is demanded

I think Struve wins this fight. Hunt could definitely find that chin, but Stefan has really started to fill out it looks like and realize that he has this massive reach over everyone and the talent to use it.
