Ignoring the reports that say Anderson walks around at 200, he's said himself he walks around about 220 which I I think Bonnar is said to have a walk-around-weight of about 230.  Through a translator yesterday I believe Anderson said he was at 196 though (the day before weigh-ins), so if that was translated right, he has no intention of weighing the full 205 at weigh-in.

bonnar looks a little bigger but not huge.
Strange if anderson is down to 196 already, maybe he just wants to do what he normally does and will come in at 186, stick to his normal routine like.
Obviously Im not saying do your out of camp burger kings right up to the fight, but seems strange to cut water weight if you dont have to

The reports said he trains at 200 pounds. Not that he walks around at 200 pounds. This is not always the same thing. Walk around weights can fluctuate depending on how active the fighter is during there off time and the diet they have.  Bonnar trains at 230 pounds and cut down to 205.  Anderson trains at 200 pounds and cuts to 185. Anderson only walks aorund at 220 pounds when he not dieting or training.  Similar to rampage. Rampage weight roughly 220 pounds when training but walks around at times upwards of 250 because he not dieting.

I walk around at 200 until I take my scheduled 10:00am **** and then I'm around 195 if it's a full blowout.

At first, I didn't like this fight but it's starting to grow on me. I like Bonnar, he comes to fight and will show up and try and shock the world. So it should be an entertaining contest. 

What grinds my gears about it is Silva is supposedly the 'Pound for Pound' best fighter in the world, and he's ducking people and picking his own fights. It took him two years to rematch Chael, then says he's going to take a break until 2013 to vacation. In doing so he escapes a fight with Chris Weidman to fight... Stephan Bonnar?! Silva has nothing to gain from this fight.

So I'm picking Silva still, but I'll be very happy for Bonnar if he pulls it off. I'm a realist folks, can't help it.
