The Silva-Bonnar fight is 3 rounds....I can't see Silva getting tired in 3 rounds unless it's a tough weight cut...and it shouldn't be.

Great card, this weekend. I'm buying it.

He isn't going to be cutting any weight. When Anderson is in fighting shape, he's at or [usually] below 205.

Rushing Jones would be stupid. Very little chance a lucky punch lands and a very high chance Vitor gets clinched and thrown and then the fights over. It's tough to rush Jones anyway with that "fingers in your face" thing he does. The odds represent Vitor's chances in this fight. He's just not equipped to win.

He really has no choice, he can't just sit back and get picked apart

Vitor will fight like he's fought every fight in his whole life.

The bell will ring and he'll stand a few feet out for most of the first round trying to get a feel. Jones will do the same feeling out (probably while kicking Vitor in the knees, poking his eyes, and jabbing the shyt of Vitor's face).

At some point Vitor will try to jump in with a shot and he'll hurt Jones OR he'll get elbowed in the face/taken down and beaten to a pulp. lol. I don't think anything will be different from any of their other fights.

One thing that is interesting is I've been told Vitor has been working on ankle locks and knee bars with Mario Sperry. It will be interesting if that's what he goes for on the ground. Which would be smart.

Giving up the back and then rolling for an ankle lock is an interesting thought
