If it is true about the brackets already being set....

I still wont give Silva any respect if he wins this tournament. If he wins he will have beaten a smaller Saku for the third time, a guy who has no credability in my eyes, and a tired Rampage or Liddell. When will he fight a credible opponent at his weight when they are both fresh? How long is pride going to protect him? I know the guy can fight, but he has never been tested. This is ****ing weak......

[Mr. Beelzebub]

Rampage also fought a smaller opponent in the first round. YOu never know what might happen.

[realkaps]

Smaller, yes, but one of the best P4P fighters in the world......

[Seraph_17]

Well hopefully a tired Liddell or Rampage will still beat Silva, then we won't have to worry about the ethics of Silva winning the whole thing.........

[realkaps]

Pretty much what I am saying is, I would like to see Silva fight a top ten LHW that is fresh. No smaller guys, no tomato cans, and no guys who just got done fighting a war like I am sure Rampage and Liddell will have.....

[Tha Playa]

He is getting Yosh for 2 reasons. He is the champ and it's the fight that the japenese people want to see.

[purerockfury]

the japenese want to see a japense beat silva but tobad they are not going to get it i think silva is going to get cracked by liddell

[realkaps]

But dont you think that Liddell will be at a disadvantage after fighting Rampage or vice versa?

[Curly Howard]

I'm sure Silva would like to prove himself. To Pride he's fighting what they think are top ten guys but we all know they're not. I love to watch Silva fight but they gave him an easy path just like I figured they would. Eventually he'll have to fight Jackson or Arona. I can't wait to see it.

[realkaps]

They'll probably have people from the audiance come and fight him before that happens....
