Well, Roy looks like he's gonna hit his 100k on Facebook. I'm not sure that matters anymore with this news though...LHW seems like a sure thing with this matchup, regardless of the Facebook deal. The only way I can see him win this is finding the holes in Silva's standup that Cormier exposed.
Uh oh. I mean it's always fun as hell watching fat guys with a good chin throw down with someone but I'm starting to feel bad seeing him get pummeled every time he fights.
I would have rather seen Antonio fight someone like a Shane Carwin in his debut. Someone who is the same size as him with KO power.
Roy could be in trouble for this one...What happened to him dropping to 205
I'll be pulling for Roy in this one

Roy has the power to end Silva's night. I think it's gonna be a great fight.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in the playground is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no props, and may the mods have mercy on your soul.
Silva does have a big target with that big head.
Nelson never really gets any easy fights, like other TUF winners.
Great fight. I hope Big Country pulls it off.

Deathsquad bitches.
I'd really like to see Big Country get a fight with a newcomer or something.
He's a good fighter but he's gotten shitty match-ups.
If he wants to fight for a long time though and make a serious splash in the sport, he absolutely needs to drop to 205.
Even if he loses, I bet Dana will give him a fight at 205 for taking this fight, they been searching awhile for an opponent for Bigfoot.

Surprised Roy is fighting big foot and not meathead or carwin
he should have cut to 205. i think big foot will beat roy and probably send him packing.
