Is T. Silva really that well-rounded?
for all intents and purposes, just consider all my posts as works of satire.
Damn, I wonder if Rashad has an answer for that left hook?

Thiago Silva eats a lot of shots every time he fights..
that’s why I think he loses this fight…Rashad has very good boxing, and I don’t think Thiago can be taking that many hits from him before going to sleep… (well unless he catches Rashad, which I doubt)

Yet he has no submission wins except for one. Perhaps he uses his BJJ in reverse to keep the fight standing?

He seems to use it to get the mount and beat the holy hell out of people.

Thiago stand-up, while powerful, just seems to stiff to win against Rashad.

I agree
Rashad moves much better in the standup department. He’s a smart fighter (unless he doesn’t get cocky) and I think he’ll use his wrestling to stay on top and avoid being submitted.
Assuming he doesn’t paw and shuffle his way into oblivion. He looked like he was fighting a scratching post when he fought Machida. He also hopped around a lot before throwing those paws. It seemed he only really engaged after he had been hit once or twice.
It’s definitely possible that Rashad could get caught. It’s not like he doesn’t take any shots when he’s fighting. I think he’ll give more than he takes though. Silva can be very flat footed when he fights.

Man, Machida DESTROYED both of these dudes.
I honestly think that Jardine’s chin is shot, especially at the elite level.
I really wish it was Rampage vs Rashad, I’m definitely pulling for Rashad on this one, because i want to see him and Page go at it.
