Based on my interest level now, I'd give the main card about a 1.5 out of 5 now that the Khabib-Ferguson fight has been scrapped.
If he fights Silva though it would be at MW anyway. Why not try to beat Bisping first and work off some ring rust, and if he wins, the fight with Silva will be bigger than ever.Bisping fight would make zero sense. Say he beats Bisping, he's going to fight those other monsters at MW? No way. Now is the time to make the Anderson Silva fight imo, won't get them at their best but Anderson has tailed off enough that I think GSP might take it now when he didn't want it before.

You're right, I didn't mean ever, just bigger than it being GSP's first fight back. I think when the fight would have sold the most Silva had a clear advantage. Now that they're past their primes the fight seems more even to me.Not even close. A fight between Silva and GSP in 2012 or 1st half of 2013 would have done much, much bigger business than one between them in late 2017, early 2018. Back then that fight had the potential to hit the 2 million buy mark. Nowadays they'd be lucky to hit a million even if GSP beats Bisping.
GSP would've been silvas daddy. Wha exactly could Anderson exploit? Georges certainly isn't getting into a stand and bang match.You're right, I didn't mean ever, just bigger than it being GSP's first fight back.

I think mainly because of the size advantage. Silva was comfortable fighting 205 pounders. I'm a huge GSP fan but I think he would have had to exert too much energy against Silva and worn down towards the finish.GSP would've been silvas daddy. Wha exactly could Anderson exploit?

I could see that happening, but early doors GSP controls the action imo.I think mainly because of the size advantage. Silva was comfortable fighting 205 pounders. I'm a huge GSP fan but I think he would have had to exert too much energy against Silva and worn down towards the finish.
he looked so bad at the weigh in. Mo kinda sucks but I still am not putting money on Page. Looks completely disinterested. If he cant get Mo out in the fist 3 minutes i bet he gives upanyone interested in King Mo vs. Rampage?
Rampage is +275 now.
but he weighed in at 253
