UFC Fight Night 29: Mai vs. Shields

[The Infamous]

The last 3 fights fulfill the typical MMA stereotypes

 

[Change]

Not bad considering it's probably the first punch he's landed on his feet in the last decade. lol

 

[profound]

maia at 3 to 1, im interested in what shields will bring

 

[The G.O.D II]

Silva looked as big if not bigger than DHK (who is a pretty big WW), no way he makes 155.

Really? His frame looked pretty small in there to me. He could make the cut

I think Erik Silva do has potential tho.....He just needs to drop down to 155, because he's way too small. He also needs to get some coaches that can bring his fighting IQ up to another level, so he won't make those kinda mistakes.

I was at UFC 87 for Maia v Jason McDonald which was a really fun ground fight, hoping we're in for something similar here. ..


but given how weird things have been so far who knows, Maia by spinning backfist


-P-

Have you guys seen E. Silva at the weigh ins? Dude is super cut, he'd have to lose a fair bit of muscle to even think of making 155.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Part of me wishes Maia stayed at 185 just for a fight with Jacare But Jacare would KO him quick if it doesn't hit the ground

Go on...

Very sloppy striking, offensively and defensively. Swinging wildly, no set up, no combos. Hands down, no head movement.

if Paul Harris being a brick at 185 can get to 170, it's possible for E Silva to get down to 155. It's going to be a miserable experience for him losing that muscle but it's possible.

I thought that too but the stats say otherwise

But he would still be bigger/have a reach advantage then most guys at 155. I don't see Silva matching up with taller, bigger dudes like Mcdonald or Condit well at all

Paul Harris is thickly muscled at 185, while E. Silva has lean muscle. It would be a really bad idea for him to go to 155.

I hear ya. .. he'd look kinda sickly those first few times out if he did it. .. i'm just not liking his future at 170, getting beat on by these bigger, taller wrestlers is gonna fukk up both his confidence and his health
