“But when [Barnett] sees Fedor, [UFC President] Dana White or [UFC Chairman and CEO Lorenzo] Fertitta, he runs to them and stays by their side all the time. He makes me sick. He’s the classic kiss-ass, a rude man …” added Silva. “I really want to face Barnett and I’ve already said I consider him a filthy person, even though he is a great fighter, and that I’ll beat him up and close both of his eyes.”
Silva’s acidic quotes continued when asked his opinion of former UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar, who last week withdrew from his June 11 bout with Junior Dos Santos due to a second flare-up of diverticulitis.
“I don’t want to judge anyone and I really wish it’s not a big health problem for [Lesnar], but I have some doubts,” Silva said. “That big guy doesn’t like being punched. In his last fights, he was put in the fetal position by Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez, which is humiliating for a fighter. I think he pulled out of the fight against ‘Cigano,’ who is a real heavy puncher and a real tough opponent for someone who doesn’t like being punched.”

Wow, Bigfoot is using some strong words. How would Silva do against Barnett and healthy Lesnar? I think he can beat Barnett but Lesnar is a bad matchup for him, he would get taken down and would be stuck.

he definatly think he has a chance against Barnett but not against Brock, he is too big and too strong and would easliy hold Silva down and pound him out

Pezazo is a massive human with a head like a bucket. A monster of a man with great ground game and pretty good striking helos him out against anyone, but his mass and power give him the edge against almost anyone. He's probably one of the strongest fighters alive today. Not to mention his hands are physically heavy and frighteningly huge, its only a matter of time until he ends a fight via fatality. He also has the gas tank to last with other power based fighters such as Lesnar on the ground and JDS/Carwin in an all out game of fisticuffs. I say he has the skillset to become a champion but he isn't a very marketable fighter to become a big name in an organization like the UFC.

As we've seen, talking smack can help when it comes to the UFC noticing you (Chael Sonnen is the best modern example)

@ Kalibo... I agree. He beat an aging Fedor; it is impressive the way he did it, but that's the Fedor from Pride.. He still has something to prove to make me a believer

I would like to see Werdum make him tap again, then see how much he wants to talk. And I think Brock is going to be the champ once again eventually, so he may have his chance to fight him.
Put him up against.. Carwin, Brock, Mir, JDS, or Cain and he loses.

Unless Overeem pulls out of the tournament (there have been some rumors) he won't win the GP, but he is SF's second best heavyweight, and he would tool Barnett. Lesnar is another story, but he does have the hands to threaten Lesnar, and he could definitely make it a fight.
