Really anyone has a chance but if u think Nate is going to win ur not very smart im takinin Silva hands down i say tko in the 2nd maybe 3rd and for whoevr said his ground game is overrated he just tapped out Travis Lutter.Rich Franklin is the only one with a chance and u saw how that went.

Marquadt has an excellent chance to win this fight, but I don't think he will. He obviously has to win on the ground, but if you watched Silva's Pride fights and those in England, he has an excellent guard. He uses he long arms and legs to tie you up (that's how he got the Spider nickname). In Pride he received yellow cards for this, but in the UFC it will win him a standup. So I'm thinking the fight will go like this:

1. They dance around on the feet a little until Nate takes a decent shot from Silva.
2. Nate takes Silva down.
3. Silva ties Nate up.
4. The ref stands them up.
5. Wash, rinse, repeat for 2-4 rounds until Silva finally catches Nate with a big shot and KO's him.

In fact, I think Nate might win the first 2 or so rounds, but eventually I think that it will get stood up enough that Silva will KO him late...maybe 4th or 5th round.

That's just my guess. However, Nate has a chance to ground and pound a decision win - a very good chance. I just think in a 5 round fight, he'll eventually be caught...and being rocked in the 4th or 5th round (when you're tired) by a guy like Silva should be the end of the fight. Silva knows how to finish a guy he's hurt.

I was almost right. Silva caught him a lot earlier than I expected.
