EVANS VS THIAGO.....decent fight not to spectacular, Evans won fairly IMO. And Im def not an Evans fan. He did take the first 2 rounds, IMO he wouldnt stand a chance against Rampage. I mean dont get me wrong anyone can get caught and put to sleep which could happen but all in all, Rampage is alot tougher than Evans IMO. And has fought alot of tougher opponents.
UFC 108 - Evans vs. Silva

I thought this card turned out pretty well.
Rashad did a good job I thought. Thiago is supposed to have great BJJ, and Rashad said before the fight he was gonna use his wrestling more, and he just went out and did it. In the third, Rashad started to get gassed and his movement slowed down where Thiago could start to tag him, but if Silva did less "clowning" and more punching, he probably would have finished him.
Dos Santos is a beast. I am a huge Cain honk as most of you know, and I have said that Cain can and will beat Brock, but I will say that Dos Santos might be 1A in this heavyweight division, if not the best.
Stout/Lauzon went pretty much the way it should, but it was still fun.
Ellenberger is good, he pretty much beat Condit, and now got a big win here, look for him to keep on winning.
Daley is pretty scary. I thought Hazelett was looking really good, until he was looking really bad, on the ground. Daley has lots of power, and would look good across from Fitch or Kos. I still think Hazelett can be good though.

LMAO.....IMO Forrest actually is a good fighter....NOT GREAT....but I like and respect Forrest b/c of his talent, and he def has heart....but when u step in the ring with Anderson Silva, u kinda look like a NOOB out there...lol. As far as that fight goes, FORREST looked horribly out of place....
Rampage has fought liddell, henderson, wanderlei, shogun, and etc....and none of those guys are slouches....
forrest is a brawler man he has a chin he can eat a hit but anderson silva is just so elusive with his tactics its not even funny forrest didnt have a chance in that bout. its liek puting a pit bull vs a wild timber wolf we kno whos gona come out on top
Hmmm.....who knows....but I really like both of them. But I side wit Silva more and I believe he would come out on top. Both fighters are Well-Versed all around but Silva would come out on top. He's to much for GSP.

I hope we don't.
It just isn't a fair fight for GSP just to add that weight. Part of what makes him great is how much he can pack into 170, and with his frame. Just adding 15 pounds doesn't really make it even, unless he can add about 5inches in height and increase his reach.
Oh yeah I agree with you on Silva and I was'nt knocking Griffin.I mentioned him because he beat Jackson but was beaten,knocked out I think by Evans.sevendreamz;3755535; said:
why would you not want to see them fight to see who is the best? It's only one weight class. I don't understand that mentality. Of course, I'm a bigger fan of vale tudo rules and less weight classes like in the old days. I too think the same about where he's at with his size, but that makes it all the more easy for him to gain 10 pounds and be fine. I'm sure silva could lose a little weight so it could be at a catchweight. I think GSP would take him down and dispose of him pretty quickly. Even if it's not totally "fair", who cares? It's not like it has to be for a belt or something or you're jeapordizing a perfect record.hamato_yoshii;3756223; said:
