Silva win would be great but Silva dec would be awesome.

 

[Joseph Budden]

Fuckkk Mathews/Case over already -180

 

[Agent Mulder]

Lol @ Silva using the weigh-in song as walk-in.

 

[jwms]

I'm medium on Silva.

Unlike most, I like Taleb. I like his footwork, size, strength, jab, and think he's decently well rounded. I think he's also pretty tenacious.

I also think Silva's a little overrated: he hasn't got the most impressive list of wins.

However, Silva's clearly the more talented fighter. The better athlete. Fought better fighters. He *should* win. But I'm also on the over.

 

[Dusty Trunks]

Let's get it Taleb.

 

[weedreference]

Taleb looking impressive

 

[weedreference]

Oh boy, there goes the over

 

[Dusty Trunks]

[SalvadorAllende]

Fuck Im big on Silva but Taleb took round 1

 

[mkess101]

Silva is fighting like an idiot.

 

[jwms]

Taleb easy rd 1.

Weird Silva. Worrying.

 

[weedreference]

R1 Taleb... thought he was close to getting Varnered though.

 

[Agent Mulder]

LMAO at that glove touch left hook combo.

 

[BurningIce]

rd 1 taleb likely

 

[Dusty Trunks]

Taleb +240 LB? wow

[ArmbarArmbar]

RD 1 Taleb, close though so could see it either way

 

[Sham5916910]

Had had to hedge a little with Taleb dec @ +800
