Either Irvin sucks really bad with not defending the shot silva threw or silva is just a fucking puncher with sprawl.. pick your scenario.. If you know your champion you know that silva only has striking on his side and some jitsu, Irvin is a cowboy and got his ass knocked out because of it.. Silva went up 20 and eventually he will get hit by a light heavyweight and his ass will be knocked out.. It's only a matter of time in MMA, if you don't think so then you don't know shit about competitive martial arts.. PS.. Dana White is still coddling his champs.. Where the hell are the ACL tears in these jagoffs!!! Quit protecting these so called champs Dana, they need to get injuries just like anyone else in our sport you ass clown!!! ohh.. silva catches irvin’s leg and punches him..

One guy called it correctly earlier in these posts so Kudos to him. JI threw strong but not smart kicks and didn't cover up afterwards. he didn't expect his leg to get grabbed obviousy which is lazy in itself. That was actually a sign of disrespect to one of the most technical fighters on the planet. If you are going to throw a punch after a kick, it's got to be damn near simultaneously. he didn't do that and he paid. For all of you AS haters, don't bet against him from now on please.

Rampage stunned Forrest a few times. Yeah he didn't get knocked out but it was close. Silva hasn't got hit by someone of that size and power. It is a KO in my book. Chuck got KO'ed by Rampage twice so why do you think chuck can do it to Silva? Revjames13- Did you not see the Rampage/Forrest fight? Rampage stunned Forrest a few times.

Like #31 put it is almost a win win situation for the best fighter around. Irvin has a loss to mike kyle(10-7)anyway I seen where he had a no contest against bobby southworth- they fell out of the ring. Did anyone see this? was it trough the cage door or what? thanks i agree w/ #19,21,27,28,29,31 and of course myself#9.

Imaginations are running wild here. This isn't going to be like Dan Severn taking on Joyce Gracie. Irvin is bigger than Silva, but they're virtually the same height and Silva probably still has the reach advantage. Irvin will have a lot of punching power, but he's not a grappler so his weight advantage isn't going to be a huge deal. If he gets tired throwing bombs and decides to use his weight to press Silva up against the cage to stall, there will be knees and elbows to contend with. Obviously Silva doesn't have the power that Irvin has, but he still crumpled Henderson, Franklin, Marquardt, Leben, Newton, etc, with his striking. And its not like Silva hasn't sparred plenty with "bigger" people like the Axe Murderer, etc, in his career. Should be a good fight. Silva will RNC Irvin or TKO him by about the second round, unless Irvin can land a lucky bomb like he has in the fights he's won. Everybody needs to calm down. Imaginations are running wild here.

Silva's always looked small to me, especially in comparison to larger middleweights like Franklin, and he still wins. His knees are devastating and he has ko power in his punches. Maybe he's bitten off more than he can chew, but I'm not betting against him. #25

Irvin is not even a top 10 LHW in the UFC (borderline) Having said this, there is no pressure on A. Silva, win or lose, it is not his natural weight class, so he can simply go back to 185 and continue to terrorize the division.
