That is definitely a step up from Woodley. My expectation is Silva cruises to a decision. Silva has fought better competition in the ring and looked really good doing it.
I wish i was optimistic as you guys.
I'm afraid Silva has slowed down too much with age and he won't be really threatening to Paul. I'm afraid of what could happen if he decides to do some old school Spider, dodging punches with his hands down. With his age and wear and tear, i'm not sure he can take Paul (even tho it hurts me more than having my ass tear in half to say it
) ...
I goddam hope i'm wrong tho.
I don't know really what he did after UFC and i remember a pretty hard fall from grace in his 3 or 4 last fight there, but your comment SpiceRacz made me go check his boxing record, which looks nice (3-1 with one bout against chavez jr. and a ko of ortiz -i'm sure dana gave him a little something for that
- ) so let's hope your right and i'm wrong.
In other news i'm so hyped for Adesanya v Pereira i can't wait for november !
