I think it would be a great fight!!! I think many peapole forget that anderson also gonna be lot bigger at 205, but if his movment are 90% of his in the middelewhigt i think he moving better than Forest and hit harder and gonna TKO on Forest. Dont forget that Anderson have belive it or not more knockout power in 205... I Only see Forest Win a close decison, he can not win on anderson on a nother way. And i think after Anderson beat Irvin with a TKO in first round he shuold get the match with Forest, he is the best FIghter in the world and it would be silly if he must fight more fights before he meets Irvin. But you never get too now, let Rampage meet Wanderlei agian:) What doo you guy”s think about Forest vs Anderson Silva? I think it would be a great fight!!!

So , i think that silva dominated the other division because no one can match up with his striking and submissions , but in these divisions they gap gets closed.

I just wish they would have announced it sooner, for the people (like me) who are using UFC 86 as an opportunity to take a nice vacation to Vegas... as of now I'm scheduled to come home TWO DAYS before this new event. If they would have said something a month or three ago, I could have stayed the extra few days and bought a cheap ticket to this one (since it will be in a small venue, and all the seats should be good). So THAT'S why I'm mad: because this fight is happening, and I don't get to see it LIVE, when I very easily could have. Gah.

Its a balls out move though anyone(top 20) at that weight can be dangerous. I think he realizes that 205 is where the great paychecks will come to him.

I think this is a bad idea...I mean who really dominates this weight class?? I would say no one, theres just too many good fighters in that weight class..chuck, rampage, forest, wandi, machida, jardine, evans...you get the point, plus at 205, guys can get caught and KO'd real quick, not sayin that doesn't happen at 185 but you see it alot more in the lhw division example: chuck vs rampage...but Im excited to see how he does..

CHuck is STILL a very dangerous and FAST striker. Anderson Silva vs Chuck Liddell could be beter than liddell vs Wandi. Anderson could do VERY well at 205, but, I have to agree with some others, that he has a much higher chance of getting beat in this division. Forrest Griffin has got some damn good moves, he demolished Shogun in style, I think he could give Anderson Silva a match and a half. There are just soooooo many good fighters in the 205 range, which outnumber the amount of good contenders at 185. All I say is, bring back Big John McCarthy so if these killer match up fights go ahead, that Mirgliotta won't be stopping them asap. ha ha silva will have speed with his hands yes, but someone said “how will chuck deal with that ” well, do you have to remind yourself how fast he KO’d tito to the ground?

Irvin has seriously dangerous power in his fists and the weight issue is a big deal nomatter how good you are. I have a feeling of an upset in this match.

Irvin has a killer punch! This shoudl be a stand up war. However, the one thing that I believe Silva has to his advangtage is he's still faster, and he's more well rounded. He can come up with more ways to win than Irvin can. Silva has submissions and everything. However, I believe that it will stay standing and if it does, it's going to be interesting to see who drops first. Both of these guys have SICK punching power. I wonder how effect Silva's clinch will be at 205 where guys are much stonger and will be able to defend against that better. This is a TREMENDOUS opportuinty for Irvin to make a HUGE splash in the MMA world. This is a DANERGOUS fight for The Spider man! Irvin has a killer punch! This shoudl be a stand up war.
