Well, at least they picked an opponent with a clean history.

DC is fully prepared and he is a terrible style for Anderson..
Never say never but I don't see this happening...
On the other hand Anderson likes to have his reach advantage and is still dangerous because of his unique style..
Can't wait for this anyway !

Silva via Randleplex, followed by atomic butt drop as a finisher.

I don't see this going well for Silva. I see it playing out like the first Sonnen fight, except DC is much bigger, stronger and more explosive. Also seems like a bit of a risk for Silva considering he hasn't won a fight for 4 years...
Mind you, this has been a year of pretty crazy results in MMA! Silva could pull off the upset via something ridiculous like a diving torpedo headbutt.

I don't get why everyone is praising DC so much. Of all the people who offered to fill in, he goes with the guy who is past his prime, a weight class below him, and whose main weakness is his main strength. He's showin so much courage by taking this fight. 
Lots of people excited for the fight, but isn't anyone considering the possibility that Anderson just won't perform? Maybe he just wants the payday and plans to goof off. Not sure if he'd succeed against such a powerful wrestler, but it's possible.

The only thing that favors Anderson here is the fact that Cormiers style revolves around punching his way in to the pocket. If Anderson is on point with his counterstrikes he could do some damage.
Other than that I see DC winning with wrestling and finally a TKO.

Anderson 7-8 years ago, I have no doubt who would win, and it would be a show like it used to. Today, it will be a onesided beating from a much bigger opponent.
Anderson lost to Bisping, struggled with Diaz, and the shots from Weidman, wouldnt even have made him flinch In his prime.
What is so impressive is that Anderson has not looked the same for 7 years, but still can get this fight.
