| 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. | |

| 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. | |

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. | |
