PBP UFC on ESPN 71 - Taira vs. Park Official PBP Discussion: Sat 8/2 at 6pm ET

[Motivated BJ Penn]

Silva is bad but his chin is incredible.

Its not his chin, hes rolling with the punches really well

 

[DEV.Woulf]

Fun fight!

 

[linvillegorge]

Silva's chin is definitely Homer Simpson tier. Dude took some massive shots in that fight and never seemed the least bit phased by any of them.

 

[rorschach51]

Best fight so far, Vallejos wins it on my card.

Silva's problem is that he's basically Jorge Masvidal. His defence/close-quarter focus means his opponent will always be able to outwork him in competative bouts.
Kevin's problem is that he seems to lack power? Or is Silva's chin really good?

 

[NoSmilez]

Too much defense

 

[Ares Black]

30-27 Vallejos

Looking like a serious prospect, still only 23.

 

[BFoe]

Good enough

 

[Evbo]

Fuuuuuuckin LOL @ Silva looking salty that he didn't get that. Ridiculous

 

[DougieJones]

ROBBERY!!!




lol

 

[Neck&Neck]

Shit I thought this guy was American

He rolled with some of them but he took plenty of them flush. They were landing loud.

 

[Sixstring]

Fun fight. Silva never stops

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

I disagree. He had solid defense in the first 2 rds. Pushed the pace and went for it in the 3rd and got lit up

He lacks offensive output, it's great to slip punchs but you have to make for opponents pay for it.

 

[NoSmilez]

Did they stop testing all together? The mexican guy's shoulders are a little too round and his traps are big for his weight class.

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Nolan the linguist!

 

[rollthedice]

Silva has a crazy chin on him! I want to see him go again. He put up a good performance again Kevin, and with Kevin I rate him highly, I think he's future top 5. I seen people say Silva is bad but has a good chin, but I think Silva would wreck a lot of dudes in the 145 division, I just think it's hard to look good against someone as strong and slick as Kevin, hell even that ADHD Silva had his hands full with a 21 year old Kevin.

 

[BjPenn2017]

Good fight especially the 3rd round

 

[Cherry]

Andrade looks just like my sister. Yes she's very gay.

I don’t want to dislike Neil Magny but I do
