I cant see Rich Franklin taking Silva, Silva is better on his feet and on the ground.

I think the Sylvia Vera fight is really tough to call. Its like one of the toughest in a while. Really unpredictable from both, i think it could go both ways but if Sylvia shows his one dimension then Vera might confuse him.

I picked Rich just because I think he has the heart and the stamina. If he can avoid the quick KO I think he can wear Silva down and finally finish him on the ground. However I have no reason to actually think this other than I'm sort of a Franklin fan. I have no problem with Silva though b/c he is VERY exciting to watch.

[jas123]

I rewatched the Marquardt fight and Silva's defensive ground game looks solid as hell. Sometimes he gets a little wild, though, with flying knees and such. Rich wasn't doing too bad in the standup with Silva until he got in that thai clinch, but I still don't see him surviving a standup war with a Silva. If Ace takes this it will be by LnP or timing dropping to one knee prefectly so that Silva gets DQed.

I feel like I might have convinced people that Jensen is the real deal. He looked decent against the rising Leites, but it's too early to say. I don't know much about Maia, but Jensen is a bjj blackbelt and I don't see getting subbed by someone that's not really good.

I don't see Vera getting Sylvia to the ground as better wrestlers have had plenty of problems. But yeah, it could go either way.

I completely agree with u on the ACE/Silva fight. I never got a chance to see Silva while he was at pride but damn when he came over to the UFC totally different level. The clinch Silva had on Ace didn't seem that hard to get away from. Maybe cause I wasn't in it lol. I see it lasting a little longer this time but pretty much the same result.

I see The Manaic stalking Vera, controlling the match. I see it being boring for the most part with Slyvia throwing more kicks and punches. If Vera does what my boy AA did in the first fight and what I thought he was going to do in the second fight he should win. I just don't see it happening though.

[Alexander]

Vera is gonna land some nasty leg kicks on Sylvia, Kaman style, Rogue knows.

[Sir Savage]

I don't see Franklin being able to take this, but maybe I'm wrong.

He'll get smashed on the feet, but at the same time, he'll be too skerd to clinch for a takedown for fear of more facial rearrangement. Maybe he can shoot for the legs, but I'm not sure I've ever seen Franklin do that.
