I've always thought, ever since Spider beat Ace the 2nd time [and beating Hendo sealed the deal for me] that the only way he'll lose, is to someone that's not even worthy of facing him [i.e. James Irvin, who is practically only on a 1 fight win streak seeing as how the win before last was only because he got beasted by a knee to the face on the ground]. i tell my friends "his first loss in the UFC will come by complete KO, from someone who shouldn't even be in the same ring with him" or "He'll lose by KO to someone that doesn't even strike, like a sub'ist" i mean, the guy's never been KO'd before, but you can mark my words.. unlike alot of people, i’m giving Irvin a chance..

I seen Anderson Silva fight Franklin in Cinci. and I was actually against the guy and so was 20,000+ there at the arena, but the respect that he showed Franklin after the fight in his interview changed the whole crowd's boos to cheers. To me what makes a world class athlete in mma is not only their fighting ability, but also their ability to respect their opponent as well. Hats off to Silva! I see Irvin throwing his superman punch and finding out silva has kriptonite in his veins.lol Man I want this Irvin to go down so f-ing baddd!

I think Irvin is overstating any edge he has in standup. Personally I think Silva is the better striker, although this is a no-brainer. Striking accuracy is a big part of the game, and "the spider" is possibly the best in MMA right now, with Machida very close in the mix. Irvin always has the chance to plant a bomb, but it will be pretty hard to pull off against Anderson. I think Silva takes this one, obviously. Sam, great take on the matchup.

Silva needs to land just one knee to damage Irvin beyond recovery. Silva's proved that several times. If Irvin believes he can strike with Silva and closes with him, the fight won’t last too long.

He must really, really think that 10 of his punches are better than 30 of Anderson's. Ok James! I've seen a few of his his interview's lately and he's really pysched up for this bout. You can't really blame him either. If saying things like this helps him than great. Props to both fighter's for taking this bout. I think it will be a good one to say the least.

That's about it. He honks as a wrestler and while I think Anderson will end this quickly on the feet, he has enough takedowns to finish this on the ground. Irvin has a flying knee and superman punch.

You come into a fight with him with any real doubt and you're already beaten. Regardless of the outcome, this should be a very entertaining fight, and that's what it's all about: Give the fans a good show, and these guys will.
