I'm a huge fan of both fighters. I *REALLY* wanna see Silva in the ring against better competition. He's gonna be the next big thing in the HW division, no pun intended. A very competent BJJ guy with wicked powerful AND fast striking, who is 6'4", agile, and has to cut weight to make 265. Dude is an absolute physical freak. Literally, he had a tumor on his pituitary gland that made him such a monster.

Also, he looks like he has an Easter Island head.
Thats a huge step up for Antonio Silva but Sergei has been on the bench for a while.

That loss to Eric Pele sort of derailed the hype train. All the bigfoot bandwagoners are taking a wait and see approach now.

Sergei has coldly said before that he goes into the ring to die every time. Hes a top product of the Russian military. And recall he is the bodyshot king, theres a good highlight of Sergei's bodyshots out there. Best in the game. Hopefully he lands a few of his trademark bodyshots for old times sake in Pride.
