Thatch vs Erick Silva in loser leaves town match

[AndrewGolota48]

I hope they don't immediately cut one or both of these guys, although I'd be more OK with Silva getting cut than Thatch, because Silva has had 12 fights in the UFC already and the book has pretty much been written. Thatch has three in a row but he has faced tough opposition and/or had some signs of hope. I say let these two fight, it will probably be an exciting fight, and the winner can live on. I'd be rooting for Thatch but in my head I see Silva getting the submission. The loser of the fight wins the Disappointing Prospect Championship.

But Erick Silva is a young prospect, they just need to bring him along more slowly !!!

Like a stupid I made a thread on them 2 in the middle of 50 Conor and it got 2 replies.

I want to see Thatch try 185 and Jouban vs Silva

 

[AndrewGolota48]

And not to take this into homoerotic territory but I'll state the obvious: two of the sexiest guys in the division. By the way, did anyone else think Thatch looks less chiseled out of stone than usual in this last fight?

 

[TH1RTE3N]

I have a feeling Erick is already on his way to Bellator. They release any cuts after this last event yet?

They both should be cut already.

They both should be cut already.

I agree in Silva's case, but Thatch needs one more chance darnit.

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Silva should be cut because he was obviously taking special candy and because of the cheap shot he threw on Saturday.

He's so bad he can't even cheat and win.

Cheap shot with a minute and a half to go in the round and no ref issued a break...

Hey look at these cheapshots his training partner is throwing

If you want to look, talk back, or touch gloves in the middle of the fight you should know the risks.

Wish people would quit crying about this.

Lol… How many chances should Thatch get? He's a perfect case of a guy who looks like he should be elite, but nope… He really isn't.

 

[reddhelium]

i like the matchup. unfortunately i see one if not both being cut.

Erick vs Huerta in the what coulda woulda shoulda match

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Thatch has a shit ground game, but Silvas glass chin likely couldn't handle any hard shots from Thatch.

TEN SECONDS!

my favorite Werdum troll moment.

Silva's faking the glove touch was cheap, but there was nothing dirty about it. Defend yourself at all times. Still, karma's a bitch.

It's time to let Erik go, I thought he was going to be great, but it just doesn't seem like he can get it together.
