If it’s Machida, he’ll run back to 185 and never fight up again.

So the other 100 cards they have announced weren’t worth buying?

Oh, you were trying to be trollish. sorry.

Bigchris,

This should be a great fight either way,and I agree,it’s too bad it’s not 5 rounds.Have to disagree with the other two fights though.Like I said to you in my response on the other post,GSP should overwhelm Alves.And I’d bet that Mir submits Lesnar again,possibly first round.

I remember hearing a while back that Silva walked around at 215.And it was 182.

Yeah i agree Jazzkok

BJ Penn is a complete fighter,but he got destroyed by St. Pierre. Anyone who knows MMA knows that with or without the whole grease thing,GSP beat Penn no matter how many excuses he makes. Penn always talks about”I just want to be the best ever, is that too much to ask” Its is too much to ask.

Yes he had the 170 belt and is now the 155 champ. He beat old Jens Pulver,beat overrated Joe Daddy and beat one trick pony with zero stand-up Sean Sherk. He thinks that makes him the best? Come on those guys are good but not elite fighters. If Penn not only beats, but stops Kenny Florian, then he can really start building his legacy as the best 155 pounder ever,but overall the best ever, never in his wildest dreams will he have that pleasure.

Ken-Flo is taking his belt and his hope for a true legacy that night.

Dude the main event and co-main event save this card cuz the other fights look weak dude.

My boy ken-flo just finished training with my boy GSP and i hella want to see him submitt bj “grease gate” penn. If Bj Penn doesn’t win this fight he can kiss his “legacy” bye bye. Bj Has done some kool things in this sport but after getting his ass handed to him by George “Bj’s daddy” St Pierre, then the whole grease gate thing, dude he’s just made himself look bad and i can’t imagine anyone being impressed with your boy bj if he loses his title. His lw championship is , for now, the only thing he has that keeps this “prodigy” status for him.

Also, i’m excited to see anderson silva challenge himself with forrest

since the card wasn’t “officially” announced until recently anything you previously heard is “unofficial/rumored” it doesn’t actually become anything until the card is officially announced and signed.

Chuck weighed in at 218 before cutting for UFC 97, and Forrest is bigger than Chuck, I think Forrest will come into the fight around 220-225. I’m not sure why Silva weighed in at 183 for UFC 97, but he is definitely bigger than that, but he’s not as big as most 205ers, he put on muscle for the Irvin fight, and I’m sure he will do the same for this fight.

silva cut to make weight at 97 to weigh under the 185 limit. after he rehydrated and ate im sure he went back to 190-195 maybe 200. the advantage that silva usually enjoys against his opponents that helps him is his height/reach and weight advantage. forrest is taller than silva and will likely weigh more than silva. silva walks around at 220+ before he starts dieting down for his mw fights. silva is the more precise striker and has an edge in the striking game, but forrest is not going to let silva pick him apart. he will push the pace without being reckless. he has a solid chin, he didnt get ko’d by rampage or evans. the ref stopped the evans fight but forrest wasnt out cold like chuck was against evans. I think this is the biggest fight of the year so far. we had gsp-penn which wasnt competitve, we will have gsp-alves which will be a war, and mir-lesnar which lesnar should destroy mir in. I just wish the forrest-silva fight was 5 rounds instead of 3.
