Prediction: wrong Emelianenko   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Got to go with Fedor despite him coming off his first loss. Silva looked really shaky early on in his fight against Kyle and Fedor is a light-year ahead of Kyle.

though I believe Fedor is very overrated and is not the best heavy weight in the world and not even top 3. However Fedor matches up very well against Silva. This is the type of people who will make Fedor look like a force. Silva has sloppy stand up and is slow.

I think people are underestimating Bigfoot in this fight. Fedor has looked human in all his performances since Arlovski. I think Bigfoot is the best of all Fedors recent opponents (yes, including Werdum) and could really bring a fight to him, however, I think stylistically, this is a horrible fight for Silva. I'm still deciding on who to pick for this one. Hopefully the winner is Bigfoot via beastmode GNP

Prediction: wrong Emelianenko   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

On paper, Emelianenko simply outclasses Silva, but Big Foot is dangerous dude. Huge guy, a Top 10 caliber HW.  
He does have a sort of plodding movement, but he's not really that slow, per se.  He's got a quick jab.  His combination of kicks and punches are fluid.  He has freakish reach, long limbs, so it probably takes a bit longer for his strikes to get to where they're going.  Overall, his agility is deceptive.  
Having said that, I'm picking Fedor.

When Fedor drops Silva like Kyle did, it's game over. I see Fedor and Barnett facing each other in the finals.

Prediction: wrong Emelianenko   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Silva's reach is going to bother Fedor in the first round.
He'll adjust and eventually take Silva down and find a limb to lock-up.

Fedor by first round destruction.  Can't picture it any other way.

Silva is a great fighter and his reach will bother Fedor early. Fedor will catch him and break his hand on his skull though... What happens with the tournament after Fedor shatters his hand is anyones guess.

Fedor is going to hurt Silva during the first, and will take him down and submit him with an armbar in the second.
