I have lots of love for Thiago Silva, The guy dumbies anyone in his path. Soon he'll be a top 5 LHW, I see a huge next fight for him. Look at his UFC highlight real already he damages people.

I was pretty hyped on Thiago myself. His guard passing *seems* phenomenal. But the fact that he almost got ko'd with some fairly telegraphed kicks made a lot of people suspect his standup. There has been a lot of hype-machine busts of late (sok, alexander) and I think people have become more leery of bandwagon jumping on, with good reason.

I like thiago but I don't understand why the wont give him better competition already. Well they did try with Rashad so I guess the next match will be a top 10.

He needs a win over a Top 10 guy, that's all. MMAth doesn't work. Hopefully he gets Rashad or Jardine next so he can prove himself.

Alexander WAS a top 10 guy when Silva beat him. Anyway, I am on the Thaigo bandwagon.

I bet $10 with a friend to collect $200 that Thiago Silva would be the first LH to beat Rampage. (after the alexander fight).

Hes a finisher..I hate guys who just go for an early finish, via boring KO or tap. I perfer a more methodical approach of point scoring and games of cat and mouse.

Im paying big money for the PPV..I want to see 3 complete rounds of action

You act like knocking someone out in the first round is a bad thing.

I like them both. Eventually they should fight.... down the road when they are both 17-0 and Machida has the belt.
