Wish he woulda accepted the title fight, but maybe this is better for him
I think it is better for him. It could be 5 rounds and silva wins in the 1st round. But would he go for the kill early knowing it's 5 rounds and he hasn't trained for a fight? Think he is much more likely to be agressive and seek out a finish knowing it's just 3 rounds.
Good point

I know he's your dude seeing him win another belt would be awesome. But I think seeing aggressive Anderson is going to be worth it not being a title fight. I think he has a really good chance to win.

Probably should not eat the burgers either.

Hope you're right, a win against Cormier would rejuvenate his career and put him back in title contention. I also believe he could win, but it won't be easy. Excited to see this fight.

Not only is Silva giving up some weight, but he's also going against a wrestler. Hopefully DC stands up with him and gives us a good fight, but I wouldn't blame him if he just smothers him and keeps him against the cage or on the ground.

U gotta love Joanna. Gadelha is the only one close to her at 115 and now has 2 wins on her so no title shot in near future. She's gonna hold this belt until they create 125.
