Anderson Silva weighed in at 198.5 lbs...

...with his shirt on. I'm not so sure taking this fight was the smart thing to do. I was worried for DC last night with all the emotion and prepping for Jones but now I'm not sure Anderson has anything more that a punchers chance. What say you?

 

[ShoopNazi]

I plan to live forever.
So far, so good.

Cormier at 206... What u guys think?

 

[Degen Gambler]

An extra few pounds wouldnt matter much. Being light may be better so can be more elusive.

Anderson via double flying knee KO round 2.

I'd say we're about to watch a much bigger man ragdoll and destroy Anderson Silva. This is a guy who had the power to knock out Bigfoot, and toss Josh Barnett, a large and very skilled HW, like he wasn't in the same weight class. Maybe if this was Prime Silva with a full camp he could out skill DC, but that's not the case here. Puncher's chance out of respect for Anderson's past.

Hendo once weighed in at 207lbs

I'd rather he come in under weight than be way over considering he hasn't had a camp. Is normal.

 

[hot carl]

maybe im crazy, but i think him weighing in low shows he is in fairly decent shape and has remained active.

am i wrong, or just an asshole?

Anderson always has a punchers chance no matter who he is facing. Anyone that faces him is always in danger of getting caught

Anderson may surprise a few people. He looks fit and didn't have to cut weight. He is probably feeling his old man strength after recovering fully from surgery.

This - you could easily make the argument that DC is a better HW than a LHW...could could be pretty brutal but we are talking about Anderson Silva - he's got a kickers chance.

I think that Cormier is heavier than Anderson?

the rest is history.

Im ok with a tiny spider, that means he is in great shape. It would have been worse if he would have come at 212lbs, cut 7 lbs of water and arrived at the fight at 205 lbs but looking fat.

I think he's just older and hasn't maintained muscle mass unfortunately. This is looking to be a one sided beatdown.

 

[Andre Xiong]

is normal. the speed factor will probably be very new to DC even coming from a 41 yr old MW.

 

[djacobox372]

Damn, cormier will outweigh him by 20lbs+

DC would always be the favorite against Anderson. Anderson's weakness has always been wrestlers. With that said...Anderson always has a decent chance of winning because of his fight stopping power and speed. Anderson has the reach advantage and he could always catch DC coming in

Agreed, and I know MMA Math doesn't exactly work but I saw what Chael was able to do to Anderson Silva in his prime, DC is better everywhere.
