Rab Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Not crazy about seeing a rematch. Part of me just thinks this may be a bad match-up for him, but we'll see. 200 should be great regardless.

Stranger Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Prime Silva is still the most exciting fighter I've ever watched. Unfortunately Father Time caught up with him. He's fighting Uriah Hall next. Many thought Hall was going to be the next Silva coming out of TUF, but he unfortunately doesn't have that killer instinct. It's really a damn shame that the Spider has been relegated to fighting guys like Hall & Bisping. Oh how I wish we could have saw a Prime Silva fight GSP and/or Jon Jones. Would've been the biggest fights in MMA history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 The Silva - Chris Leben fight is still one of my favorite videos on youtube, complete with Leben pre-fight commentary as the beat down is happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 The Forest Griffin fight will always be my favorite. He made him look like a chump. Griffin even laughed about later on the Joe Rogan podcast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFC best hope that McGregor wins the rematch otherwise they risk damaging his brand even further. Its in the work but hasnt been finalized yet. Probably figuring out the $$$. I personally dont want to see this fight at UFC 200. I guess they need fighters who wont pull out since it will be the most viewed UFC event ever. Id rather see Mcgregor fight Edgar and Diaz fight Dos Anjos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 McGregor Edgar is the fight they need to make. I'd love to see it. Edgar is scrappy and would make McGregor a tough opponent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgar is scrappy and would make McGregor a tough opponent. I just dont think McGregor is that good. I love the guy and he is a great entertainer but based solely on fighting hes nothing special. Hes a very smart fighter which is rare but he doesnt possess all the tools to be an unbeatable fighter. I think no matter who he fights (Aldo, Diaz, or Edgar) will have a pretty good shot at beating him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 McGregor certainly isn't invincible like the UFC tried to portray him. He's got a solid chin but not an iron one, and his ground game is very suspect at this point. I think if he shored up his boxing and takedown defenses, he'd be damn near unbeatable. Especially at 145. He likes to show boat too much though and it leaves his chin open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
