Tough test for Silva. Hope he pulls it off.

Damn, tough fight for Silva. We'll really get an idea of what his TDD is like now.

im thinking mr tramp stamp gets knocked out here, silva is a great prospect imo

Seems like everyone Brazilian isn't fighting at147
Now I am curious who all fights. A bunch of no names in front of 80,000 fans.

Probably shogun or machida for sure
Alcantra. I have no clue who else
Charles oliveira

lol I'm leaning that way too cuz we don't know what Silva's TDD is like yet but Brenneman is susceptible to being knocked out so SIlva could definitely pull it off.

its not about if Brenneman can take him down, but when he does can Silva threaten from the bottom and escape or even sweep him? And he is susceptible to being KO'd by bigger stronger fighters. Silva is tiny and doesn't have the power Hendricks and Rumble have...it would have to be a constant barrage of strikes for Silva to KO Brenneman.

E. Silva (the actual good Silva) will knock the fro off of Charlie.

He might be smaller than those guys but that doesn't mean he can't (T)KO Brenneman...his speed makes up for that...plus Brenneman isn't a big WW either.

I never said he couldn't, it just wont be a 1-punch knockdown like Hendricks and Rumble are able to do. He would have to Diaz a TKO...and he only has 3 TKOs in his career - he is a submission guy. Brenneman isn't a big WW, you're right, but he is bigger than Silva and him having a strong wrestling base it gives him a much bigger advantage. I don't know what Silva is like off his back but I've seen Brenneman's smothering top game
