Hypothetical fight Rashad Vs Spider

I'd take Rashad. He has one KO loss, and people think he'll be KO'd easily. Rashad has good footwork and one hell of a quick shot, along with fast hands. Rashads game plan is the deciding factor here. If he decides to stand and strike with Silva, he'd lose IMO. If he's mixing it up with striking & TD's, Silva's in for a long night on his back. Rashad unfortunately seems to lack motivation or a killer instinct(something) at times and it's shown greatly.
 
Plus plus shad has speed and quickness ... And he also trains with vitor and Tyrone so he what be somewhat used to this speed power and reflexes of a good striker... Roughshod with a good game plan would beat Anderson IMO
 
With Anderson now pushing 40, facing a long layoff and recovering from a serious injury, it's hard to call.

If the fight happened any time between 2006 to early 2013, I'd definitely pick Anderson. Rashad would have a small chance of pulling off what Chael did in Silva-Sonnen Part 1 (minus the 5th round submission loss), but that would be his only chance.

Few years ago Silva would have shadfaced him.

Today, Silva gets TKOd on the ground. The dudes chin has left town.
 
this fight could be very different depending on what rashad shows up. If he shows up to wrestle/control/GnP, he could win and perhaps dominate. If he is hesitant/nervous/timid, well... perhaps shadface v2.0
 
that was nice before and it should have happened, if only rashad didnt lost to lil nog
