    silva vs henderson

    i am a fan ov silva. i think he comes across as a very humble and respectfull person. but i think i want henderson to win. i think this is going to be a great fight. unfortunately i won't get to see it

    and kongo is a big freakin dude. i was watching him train and i guess i never realized how enormous he is bc he is in the octagon with other big guys but seeing him with his trainers and next to quinton jackson. the dude is a monster.

    Hendo's chin will definitely be put to the test! Silva's rearranged many a face in his time, but I can't wait to see him try to hurt Dan. The guy has like no teeth, no nose and a granite jaw.

    Where are your priorities young man Missing the fight of the century for a concert!?!?!?! Better be good! I am passing up the Roots to see the fight!
    Silva is one of the most humble people I have trained with in martial arts, and a super sweet guy to boot! I am cheering for Silva, but either way it is going to be an awesome fight. When Silva wins he will most likely be considered the best fighter pound for pound in the world!
    Cheers

    yeah i know but i bought the tickets to the show and didnt realize it was the same night. plus i am sure someone somewhere will post a clip of the fight that i can watch after. i am trying to convince my wife that its in our best interest to order thte ppv and dvr and watch it when i get back but i will already know the ending by then.

    we'll see. its all good though i think this is one of the only shows the band i am seeing is doing in the u.s. on this tour so its now or never.

    you trained with silva?!? thats awesome.

    So who are you seeing??

    Yeah, Silva and Nogueira rolled through town last July and taught over four days of both stand up and ground fighting! One of the greatest experiences I have ever had not so much because they are stars, but because they showed a ton of applicable stuff, sparred with us, and were great gents all around. Silva is so gentle, nice, and technical! Great guy! A lot bigger in real life too

    Cheers

    These two are my favorite fighters with Silva being #1.
    At times I've said Henderson if I've leaned either way, but I really can't say.
    It's going to be an awesome fight though!

    a band called 'gogol bordello' they are a gypsy punk band from eastern europe. they are very good. they play punk music with traditional gypsy instruments.

    that sounds like an awesome opportunity to meet and train with both those guys. not just because they are famous but also because of the amount of knowledge and experience they have.

    Oh boy was I wrong. Silva is an officer and a gentleman.

    While in the first round Silva was "not himself" he "woke up" and dominate Dan in the second winning via a RNC ( rear naked choke for those that don't habla).

    He may well be the best fighter in the game.
