I never thought I would be disappointed to see an Anderson Silva fight, but when the Aldo and Edgar fight gets cut because of it I do kind of get bummed out. Bonnar is a really tough guy on the feet and ground, but he has stated in interviews that he is contemplating retirement which makes me wonder if he still has the gumption to really fight, however he usually leaves it all in the octagon, but I think Anderson will get the better of him in the 2nd or 3rd round.

@skelliher, i don't really remember. i was drinking all day and right as they both took the center of the octagon i blacked out. i woke up in a ditch somewhere in rio. i was naked but still had my phone somehow, and that is where the picture is from. i also have "silva knows" branded on my chest. who knows what happened

Prediction: correct Silva   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

@foley: Aldo and Edgar didn't get cut because of it.  Aldo withdrew from the fight because of an injury to his foot.  For my money, this is a great replacement fight.  It is the quintessential iron jaw vs iron fist matchup.  I'm looking forward to seeing exactly how many strikes it actually takes to knockout Bonnar.  I will probably watch the entire fight in slow motion just to make sure I don't miss one

No way Bonner would make a catchweight below 205 with or without a full camp. The dude is a large LHW.

Well this certainly wasn't a matchup I was thinking would be a replacement on that card.

I think Anderson's a big enough name that we won't have to worry about Bonnar's motivation. This 1 fight could completely change Stephan's career legacy.

HAHA such a silly fight! I almost hope Bonner wins for sheer shock value

Props to Bonner for accepting such a deadly opponent, no one can ever say hes not a true warrior (not that that was in question before)

and THANK YOU SILVA for stepping up to show Jones how a true champ acts
