BTW, I don't know where I got the original card but UFC.com has Vinny Magalhaes taking on Elliot Marshall.
That makes one more fight I'm excited to see. Vinny's BJJ is sick.

He has already smashed marquardt and hendo
Wand hasn't even fought at MW yet, Palhares will never make it up the ladder as he is way too one dimension and his one dimension isn't Jacare/Maia like.
I am not saying Silva is unbeatable (obviously... hes been beaten) and he does seem to have a whole in his game (wrestling). The person who is going to beat andeson is either going to take him down for 5 rounds and blanket him (hendo tried) or they are going to have to take him down and submit him.
But bisbing doesn't have the wrestling to take him down and even if he did, he doesn't have the BJJ to finish him. That means he would have to survive 5 rounds without getting KTFO. Who has bisbing outstruck that makes you think he could handle anderson's muay thai? chris leben or his "win" over matt hamill?
I'm excited for a lot of these fights. I really hope Tales Lates and Rua win as I like both of them a lot and hate their opponents, lol. For some reason, I really like Ed Herman and there a lot of other people on the card that I like, too...should be pretty good.
I'm going to watch this at buffalo wild wings.

Whether you like it or not, Bisping only has one loss and it's to the current light heavyweight champion. Thats not a bad record.
Does his record show though that he can go in and drop Silva? Probably not, but I don't agree to the premise that the only way a guy has a shot is if his record is as stunning. It's going to be hard to find people that have records as good as the top dog's Silva, GSP, Fedor, Torres, but that doesn't mean they can't and won't be beat.
I tend to look at match-ups, and use the eye test when it comes to these guys because obviously their records are so good that if you played that game no one would ever have a shot.
I like Bispings seemingly "old school" stand-up style and I think that it could pose some problems for Silva. I think that if Bisping hung around for a few rounds (which I think his style could allow) that it might start working into Silva's head. Normally in fights like that, the crowds tend to turn twords the underdog even when the favorite is an all time favorite.
Silva did "smash" Marquardt, but anyone who has been watching mma recently has seen that Nate is not the same fighter. If he wins again, he should get a shot.
I'm not sure I would say that Hendo got "smashed" but he did get choked, so if that's what it means then fine, but it was at 4:52 in the second round, it's not like did the James Irvin to him.
Do I know if these guys can beat him, no. But I do know he will be beat, and from watching him lately I think it might be sooner than later so these are the guys that I think have a shot.
I believe he tore something in his knee... he won't be fighitng for a long timeewurm;3023063;3023063 said:
