Because Sam is an impatient bitch :p
Let's go Ken Flo! Arriba Peru! This fight will be epic.
And of course Silva will win. Should be another great fight, though. |

I (obviously) cannot wait for those two fights. Think my hero (Silva) might just meet his match. Will be entertaining to find out!
Also, I love KFlo, but really think BJ will destroy him. |

I not so secretly want my other MMA crush Griffin to win. :tongue2
We all know I'll be watching :disbelief |

This will be a true test for The Spider. Gonna be epic.
Fedor and Barnett is coming up on Affliction, as well. Vitor Belfort is also on the card.  |

I'm surprised you would say that, Renz, considering so many people believe that Silva is more skilled than Griffin. I think Griffin has a tough chin and can take a lot of punishment, which is what is def needed to go against someone like Silva - but Silva always seems so damn tricky to me.
What camp has Griffin been training in for this fight - do you know? |

| noob question: is ufc really that big in the us and maybe other countries in europe? here in germany we only had a short public discussion if this sport should be banned because dsf (german sports station) is now showing this every saturday night |

I think Forrest's attitude and ground game are the biggest advantages he has against Anderson. The only recent losses Silva has had were submissions. Also, nearly every single person they put in the ring with Silva has the "oh what is he going to do to me?! I need to play it safe!" attitude, where Forrest will walk in and do what you need to do to Anderson: fight him. |

Sara, there's a reason Anderson Silva is considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. Much like Machida, he's damn good and elusive. That being said, he's still moving up from Middleweight to Light Heavyweight which makes the fight an exciting one.
I think Silva will win, but Forrest Griffin will be ready to fight and might surprise a lot of people. We'll see. |

Agreed. These two are the best in the business at the moment along with Fedor. |

Oh I totally agree. I think Griffin will be able to hold his own and come out swinging... which is what fighters normally DON'T do when they go up against Silva.
I want Griffin to win. |

GSP, too. No list is complete without him. He's a beast. |
