Thoughts on Silva vs. Irvin?

Question

Alright so Anderson is making his debut at 205, and we all know he is pound for pound one of the best in the world. But what if Irvin KO's him in the first round? The Sandman has some serious power. I know it's a long shot, but it is quite possible.

Answer 1

irvin does have knock out power but i dont think silva is gonna let him try it out. silva has some of the best ground game in the world. how many times have you seen irvin on his back. combine silvas ground and his stand up(in my opinion, the best muay ty in the world) silva is gonna take out irvin, maybe a couple more light heavy weights but i dont think he could match up against rampage. but you never know. i think the silva irvin fight will end 2 round with a rear naked choke win for silva.

Answer 2

"If he dies , he dies" Silva will demolish him!

Answer 3

I think the chance of Anderson being KO'ed is very slim. If you look at all his fights, he's never been knocked out, he's never been cut, he's never even been seriously hurt by a strike. His movement is so good that he is only hit 1/3 as much as the average MMA fighter. Those facts lead me to beleive Silva will do just fine against Irvin

Answer 4

Its going to be an exciting fight no matter who wins. I personally hope silva stays standing. I don't think Irvin can beat him but he can hurt him pretty bad> it will be interesting for sure.

Answer 5

anderson's normal weight is about 215 and wont have to drop as much so he may just walk through irvin and maybe through the whole lightweight division

Answer 6

Anderson Silva I'd say would win :)***
