Now lets all take a minute and pray (atheists to) that this fight does happen and nothing messes this up.

For Fitch, this is a step up from his original fight (against Aaron Simpson) so he gets a fighter more on his level.
For Silva, this is his big chance to fight a Top 10 Welterweight and really boost up his reputation!

I have to back Fitch on this. He may not be the most exciting fighter, but he knows how to win. He lost to hendricks, anyone can get knocked out with one punch though, I don't think that out come would happen if they were to fight ten more times.
Silva has been exciting, and maybe once he gets a bigger list of names on his victory list I would back him. Until then, a good fight, but I have to go Fitch.

Also this is in Brazil. This will have REALLY fast stand ups if it's like the last 3 events.

Once on the ground, it will be all-important, essential and decisive for both fighters. Good match-up. I question pitting Erick against such a formidable, tenacious opponent so early in his quest for greatness. I think he will find himself over his head on the ground.
It will be a good fight and give the winner some good bounce. Fitch has a lot more to lose. If he wins, people will say he was supposed to win against a relative newcomer. So, Fitch's bounce will be minimal.
But if Silva wins, his bounce will be massive. And everyone will write off Fitch. If by any fluke, Silva lands a punch early and wins by KO, I fear for Fitch's future with the UFC. They would not be heart-broken to release him.
So, for Fitch, this is life and death. Not nearly so much for Silva. I look forward to this fight with great enthusiasm.
They've really thrown Erick Silva into the deep end of the ocean.

Fitch is gonna smash him, just because he lost one fight doesnt mean he still isnt the number 2 WW in the world
