Silva vs Diaz-Big Rigg vs Lawler-Edgar vs Swanson

[GinjaNinja23]

Lets talk about these upcoming match ups.

First off does Diaz even stand a chance against Silva? Funny thing is I'm a Diaz fan and Silva isn't even in my top 10.
I just think Silva has the style to completley destroy Nick. His movement, kicks, TDD, size and power will just be to much I think.
Diaz has his hands full, would love to see him win but I don't think he guards his face enough, moves well enough, has the power or takedown ability to touch Silva.

Hendricks vs Lawler
I'd love to see either man win. Like them both. A little biased do to knowing Hendricks from wrestling camps here in Oklahoma, etc.
But I think in another grueling fight Hendricks takes it by SD.
I think hes gonna focus on more of a grappling aproach for the fight.
I do think Lawler has a great chance to pull off the KO but I just see it going Hendricks way again.

Edgar vs Swanson
This fight literally makes me smile and feel happy inside. I've been calling for this fight for awhile. I think Edgar is gonna get caught a couple times but will eventually control the pace, mix up his crisp boxing a takedowns and get himself another W from the judges.

What do you all think?

 

[Pastor Trimm]

Love Diaz,but he's probably getting beat. I think Lawler ko's Hendricks. Edgar decisions Cub.

 

[Priceinator]

Diaz is going to get fucked up big time if Silva is 1/2 the fighter he was before the break.

 

[RawDawgBob]

Pretty accurate assessment.

 

[Lacet]

Love Diaz,but he's probably getting beat. I think Lawler ko's Hendricks. Edgar decisions Cub.

Agree on all

 

[Lito Lapida]

3 threads for this.

 

[Huligani]

Silva wrecks Diaz

Hendricks wins a decision over Lawler again

Frankie's chin finally gives out, Cub will get the TKO

 

[phatron]

Silva has good tdd? Maybe it will seem that way against nick.


And yes, edgar will point fight to his 15th decision in 19 fights.

 

[bjpennlwgoat]

Good assessment on all the fights. I'm leaning the exact same way on all 3.

it's sadly under rated

Chael only went 3/7 on TDs against Silva in the first fight and could only land 1 takedown in the second fight

Silva should deal with Diaz with ease

I think Lawler and Hendricks will be another close fight with Lawler getting the decision this time

Edgar decisions Swanson, should be an exciting fight

 

[schwe30]

Silva dominates Diaz.

Hendricks takes an easy 50-45 UD.

Edgar vs Swanson is close and I don't know how it'll play out. I'm gonna say Edgar by UD in a competitive fight.

So chael only had 3 "takedowns" but Anderson was on his ass in all 5 rounds....no matter what you call it, Anderson couldn't keep from being on his ass and he couldn't get up for 23 minutes.

 

[schwe30]

Remember the 5th round? The whole fight will be like that.

 

[jban]

Silva finishes Diaz, Lawler beats Hendricks in a close fight, and Swanson beats Edgar in a decision.

 

[Redhawks100]

Silva finishes Diaz, Lawler beats Hendricks in a close fight, and Swanson beats Edgar in a decision.

Considering he couldn't do it against an injured Hendricks the 1st time, I don't see it happening this time.

 

[LionExMachina]

I'm the Spider wins the old lazy dominance he had before.

Win or lose it will be nice to see him fight again.

 

[CubicleGangster]

that has nothing to do with TDD and has more to do with his ability to make it back to his feet. two of the rounds Chael never even got a takedown.

don't get them confused
