Prediction: Silva  |  Decision

Interesting fight. It amazes me that Quinton Jackson is able to win fights against high quality opposition while only using left and right hooks, and a lead uppercut. His complete lack of technique makes me think the only way he wins this fight, against Thiago's aggressive style, is a KO. I look for Silva to show a diversity of striking techniques, and out point Rampage on the feet. If Quinton does catch him, I think Silva has the wrestling and BJJ to take Rampage down and outpoint him there as well.

Silva is coming up short against stiffer competition. This will be the same.

I rooting for Page but Brazillians with agressive stand up are his weakness. Man, I hope the old Rampage will comeback in this fight. Rampage should use his wrestling more instead relying on counter punching opponets.

I don't see Rampage losing this fight. Should out strike and out wrestle Silva.

Prediction: Jackson  |  Decision

Rampage will out-strike Silva in this fight. It will be a very good fight but there will come a point where Rampage is going to rock Silva, I am not sure he can finish him but he will get the decision. Silva hasn't looked great against the top guys and he hasn't exactly shown the best gas tank in the UFC. Page gets the W.

Prediction: Silva  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 3

This is a win/win situation for the UFC, it either sets up all kinds of crazy rematches or an all Brazilian LHW title fight for their card in RIO.

Agreed, I think if Silva can choose his shots carefully and not get caught he can win. That being said, I think he will try to KO rampage and eat a massive right hook. KO Jackson round two.

I'm leaning toward Jackson in this fight because I think it'll be close and in the case of a close fight I can see Jackson getting the decision.  Silva looked good in his last fight, but Vera clearly wasn't expecting to be taken down by him.  There's no chance Silva takes Rampage down and I think Rampage is stronger on the feet.

UD for Rampage.
