wow what a great fight. both fighters are undefeated at 13-0. i don't know who to pick in this one. i think silva needs to take it to the ground though. i don't think many people would disagree with that.

Thiago will win this. Exposing Machida to be not that great. Thiago will throw stronger punches and will be better on the ground and stronger.
 I don't even know what to say about this. Yeah, I'm sure Silva's decent yet wild striking will win over Machida's great jujitsu, excellent counter striking and etreme well-roundedness.

Should be a sweet fight, but I don't know if Silva will be the one to figure out Machida.

This is absolutely sick. The cards shaping up to be pretty stacked even without a title fight.

I kinda think this should be the main event instead of Bisping/Leben. That's just my opinion though.
