Prediction: correct Silva correct KO/TKO wrong Round 4

Silva will typically start slow, first round means nothing, but Chael is tough. I see a TKO via unanswered strikes, I predict round 4, but it could be earlier. Depends on Chael's ground defense

Silva can start slow like normal that's fine, but Chael is dragging his ass into a fight the second the ref says "lets fight"

Prediction: correct Silva correct KO/TKO correct Round 2

Buffer has witnessed hundreds of great finishes and has never reacted once but does when Andy bumps Sonnen in the face with his shoulder..

Buffer truly is a puzzle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in silver hair.

Sonnen looks really sucked in. Was reading yesterday that he had to drop 20lbs overnight, and it definitely shows.

Thanks @messiah.. good read actually... since it seems intentional... I'm not that worried about Chael's performance.

Huh, if this was any other case than a Dolce plan, I would immediately put some money on Silva no matter what.

I've gotta believe such a huge cut in 24 hours has a big impact even under ideal conditions.

Prediction: wrong Sonnen wrong Decision

According to Chael himself he's walking around at 217, so it's less than 10% his total body mass. It's still quite a lot to cut and regain in 24 hours.

i have always hated the way the way sonnen has looked at weigh ins, no more so than when he weighed in against Bisping. However, if Dolce is a new accusition to the team, and Sonnen has followed his "scientific plan", I fear nothing. WAR SONNEN!!!

Prediction: correct Silva wrong Submission wrong Round 3

It has to have an impact, but when you've been doing it for a while and you've gone five rounds before, and when you're facing Silva, you've got to be avoiding rookie mistakes like cutting late unless you're injured/not 100%, which Chael won't admit if he was. I don't see it factoring in too much, and if I see Chael start to fade before round three, I'm gonna freak, kinda like when I see Mir get rocked, it's a scary thing, dude.

I do wonder how much he typically cuts. I thought he looked terrible against Bisping, clearly lacking the energy he had in previous fights.

tough fight to pick.. Silva has had troubles with wrestlers in the past.. So i really don't know who is going to win. plus chael was cleared to use TRT. So should be another tough battle for silva. We shall see who the true middleweight champ is come tomorrow night! :)
