gnasher16 31,602 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 How do you MMA fans think Silva will do moving up to the 205lb category???? If he can keep a fight on its feet he will win....if he cant,he wont....not at top level anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LDR 29 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Unfortunately i agree with you on this one....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I think at 185lb Silva is the best at the moment, I think if he moves to 205lb he will struggle with the likes of Jackson, Griffin, Wanderlei Silva, Jardine and Liddell. Just my opinion but he would be a small 205lb'er in a division with some bigger guys who are stronger and have heavy hands JMO................ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cupid Stunt 18 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 He's in with a stand up fighter in Irvin a months time. It will be a lot less weight Silva has to cut if its true in what he says that his natural weight is 215lb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I think Silva will probably beat Irwin but against the list of fighters I mentioned earlier I think the majority of the time all would be too much for Silva but thats just my opinion. I think Bisping made a smart move dropping to 185lb, although he is 6"2 he gives up size and bulk to many other 205lb'ers............ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trappa 518 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hes an amazing fighter, great on the ground and great on his feet. His knees to the face are immense when in the muay thai clinch. Moving up a weight will seriously test him, toe to toe he will struggle imo, but on the ground he could potentially beat anyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
