Also, I don’t think you guys are giving Bonnar the respect he deserves. The guy has been in some wars with some powerful men and has came out victorious, so all this talk about Silva knocking him out I find hard to believe. MAYBE a TKO if Bonnar is tired in the 3rd round.

Do I think Bonnar will win? No more than i think he will loose. I think he will pose A challenge for Silva.

^ TUF has only been on TV for 7yrs.

The reason Bonnar is fighting Silva is because Bonnar has stated that he is considering retirement unless Dana gave him a great fight. (both opponent wise and money wise)

So that is why Bonnar is fighting Silva. Dana has said numerous times that the UFC would not be what it is today if it wasn’t for the Griffin and Bonnar fight so he does owe Bonnar for all the success that fight brought the UFC.

I think it is stupid that it is not a title match at 185 or catch weight. I think the UFC should change the rules some. IF the current champion wants to take a fight and it is a fight at a higher weight class, it should be a title fight.

Who cares if he is the champion at 185 and takes a fight at 205. If your the champ and willing to take that fight at A higher weight class then a fight is a fight and a belt should be able to change hands.

Bonnar is owed something after he had a draw 10-15 years ago for tuf 1 lol, I’ll enjoy it and hope Silva shows off his ground work, Bonnar has a solid ground game be cool to see if he can utilize it. Silva is beatable he is weak on “Great” wrestling..Bonnar doesnt have that but if he can pull a Condit and Guida and run and get Silva pissed off maybe he lands a shot in the 3rd?? Did anyone ever see Serra KOing GS im not hurt P?

Silva vs Bonnar sucks. Why (we all ask again) would the UFC risk injury to Silva for a meaningless fight when there are serious MW guys chomping at the bit for a title fight. Silva is pushing 40 and can’t have many fights left. If he is injured, he’ll be out for months while the list of MW contenters grows. This does not make sense, unless Silva plans to retire with the MW belt after an obscure fight or two or perhaps injury? Boo!!!!

While I dont think bonnar will win I think he will at least last 2 or more rounds (unless he gets a bad cut) People saying it will be like the griffin fight are absolutely retarded. Bonnar is not gonna get Tko’d by a backpeddling jab.

It makes perfect sense.

Silva is getting old. He wants to make as much money as possible before he retires.. Believe it or not Fighting is a career like any other. A smart way to conduct business is to make as much money as possible before one retires.

Wouldn’t you do the same? I sure would hope so…

This fight is gonna be great bonnar shows up to fight and has been wanting a big name since he called out rampage he always comes prepared and is a scrappy guy i think he can pull the upset with some luck especially at 205 and on short notice i’m going with bonnar on this one

^^^ It’s NOT A TITLE FIGHT. Silva moved up to 205 to face Bonnar on short notice to save the card after Jose Aldo got injured.
