Calling it now: Silva beats Cormier via Knee

[CereserBr]

A beautiful placed knee to the head and Cormier is done.

DC could take 100 silva knees

I have a strange feeling about this one too. I called the Bisping Rockhold first round KO, and there have been a few fights where something seemed off: Holly v Ronda, Holly v Meisha, Weidman v Anderson… Diaz v Conor.

Logic suggest that Cormier should 100% win this via decision. He should be able to take him down at will, and keep him there.

That said… Short notice fights are tough. Everyone thinks it's an advantage for the existing fighter but not really. You train timing, distance and a game plan for one guy only to have that flipped last minute. In this case it's not just flipped, but flipped with a very unorthodox guy.

Anderson has length. A strong guard [He shouldn't get finished]. He still has elite striking… He also has nothing to lose [At a higher weight], and that's dangerous for someone facing the Spider.

Don't be surprised if Anderson lands something. The MMA God's are being real assholes lately, and the UFC would have a mini crisis on their hands if Anderson won.

I gave my buddy 50 bucks to put on a parlay in vegas.
Moose
Cat
Cain
Tate
Anderson
Hopefully it happens

 

[LukeSkyRutten]

He got a long way off the ground for an old man...

Let's hope DC stops paying attention to Silva too then, otherwise if he takes the amount of shots from DC as he did from Bisping for a full 5 rounds that might be the end of the Spider.

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

Front kick a la Vitor.

 

[skolar182]

DC has been preparing for Jon Jones, I don't think he loses to Silva. But hey, Silva can be surprising (or boring as hell)

 

[Soul On Ice]

I am also calling this

Me and @CereserBr are ahead of the game and see deez tings

Funny, you picked a gif where the fight WASN'T done, and he lost. But yes, it's a possibility.

 

[Mochan]

Flying dick knee at 4:49 of R3? I can see it.

There is going to be some black on black action when DC takes Silva down and smothers him before he gets the TKO

 

[KootenayKid]

Don't forget that Cormier has lived through a rumble overhand and a Mauler knee/left hook combo.

Either way I hope to see an active striking match and ground game when it comes to it.

Damn 50 bucks on Cat and Anderson? Pretty scary. I feel like Dillashaw is a lock over Zingano. Idk though. Gambling is tough

 

[DeadlyDuddly]

I have a strange feeling about this one too. I called the Bisping Rockhold first round KO

No you didn't you're lying.

 

[PrinceOfPain]

Yeah, I don't know about that, but I think people are overlooking Silva's chances here.

 

[Miiiiiiighty]

DC is prone to knees ( clinch knees mostly ) I've been saying it since the Barnett fight and Jones and Gus's fight confirmed this
So he better beware

 

[BlackPanther]

Silva TKO's Cormier

 

[FightsFTW]

Its possible, crazy things have happened before, will also depend on DC's mindset, if he's not 100% focused, then Silva might have a chance here. DC should win, but we will see.

 

[Legumes]

Silva's getting KO'd in the clinch by an uppercut from DC.
