got to be honest here. I think Cb is going to sleep. I didnt pick him because im in a contenders fight and didnt want to take the risk, But I think Silva his going to KHTFO.

I think there is a good chance of this happening but CB is a decorated wrestler and Silva is an unproven rookie with good strength but still green in the mma world. We shall see tonight but I am still going with Dollaway.

I too think this is possible.
Some of my teamates even went with Silva and provided a very compelling case, along with footage to back up their thoughts.
CB is still an enigma as to whether he will ever live up to his potential, and tonight I think his back his against the wall.
If he loses though- it wil be the last time you see the name Dollaway on my fantasy pick sheet, unless it is a JEC event.

You are all wrong!
Dollaway FTW!

I already told my team...
If C.B. loses, I'll never pick him again. I don't care if he's facing a girl scout, I'd pick against him.

Thats what I said about Mark Munoz after his embarassing loss to Matt Hammill. I still picked him anyways to beat Nick Catone though... Dammit i'm such a hypocrite

I was thinking the same after I saw the weigh ins yesterday. The dude is alot thicker than CB, and is apparently a nasty striker. Oh, well the good thing is that my opponent picked him too so I don't really lose out that much on him winning.

CB wins round 1 in impressive fashion. Silva doesent look to be the beast everyone thought he was.

Silva cant even beat Dollaway. What kind of future does this guy hold. He has to improve or he will get cut just like everyone else.
I think CB needs to drop to WW he would be much more dominant there than at MW.

An exhausted Dollaway is helped from the cage, while Silva receives a huge ovation from the crowd as he leaves under his own power. While Silva had trouble defending the takedown, the crowd appreciated the effort
I'll have to watch this fight and form my own opinion

From reading the PBP, it seems like it was a really close fight with Silva rocking CB a couple of times but not being able to capitalize. It kinda sounds like Silva doesn't have the best ground game.

Yeah, I should have just said grappling instead of ground game. Maybe a vid will pop up on one of the illegal sites sometime later this week.

I heard CB was really sick the day or two leading up to the fight...
