I like Vera just fine. But Silva is just killing people right now. I picked Henderson to win their fight and he took him out in 2. Plus Vera probably loses some power dropping down a class

What's your verdict for the fight?

I wouldn't mind seeing it, I just don't think it's soon in the making

Both have good striking and good all around skills, even though Silva is the best P4P in his weight class I think Vera would just be to big and could over power Silva for the win

So, in your opinion, who are the fighters that can beat Silva at LHW?

It sounds like you've picked Vera in this fight. how do you see it happening?

If that's the case, then why is the Spider staying at 185 when he walks around at 113?

Even though Silva's got zero reason to move up, and some on the bottom list can beat some on the top list, here it is

Can Beat Anderson Silva
Wandy, LIddell, Shogun, maybe Machida

Can't Beat Silva
Rampage, Forrest, Jardine, Houston Alexander

If you've got a specific fighter not listed, I'll answer the question.

No, i just thought that everyone wanted Vera to go down to LHW because he has all the tools to do well in that division; plus, he is a little small for a HW!
I don't think Silva is as fast and as powerful at LHW!

I guess on Sherdog, if you you have one bad fight, most will jump of the wagon!

...Got domed by Rampage. That's how the thread should be titled.

So, just because he beat Dan at 185, now Silva can beat all these people! Don't you think Rich Franklin is an over-hyped fighter, how about Leben? I didn't see anything that the Spider did that qualifies him to beat these fighters that you mentioned, especially at LHW!

Dan took the spider down at will! Doesn't that make you reluctant to make such an assessment on his potential?

silva walks around at like 188. it'd be a terrible move, but silva by tko
