Fight Predictions: Silva vs. Irvin

Who will win? Anderson Silva or James Irvin? Hear it straight from the experts.

Fight Preview: Silva vs. Irvin


Anderson "The Spider" Silva starts his quest to conquer the light heavyweight division against James "The Sandman" Irvin. Silva is moving up from 185 to 205lbs.

It will be interesting to see how Silva handles a much bigger, and presumably stronger, man in the clinch. He threw guys like Rich Franklin and Chris Leben around like rag dolls. Saturday’s bout should tell a lot about Silva.

A win over the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world Anderson Silva would be bigtime for Irvin’s status in the UFC. If he were to beat Silva, I think his wish may come true and he’d land a bout against the man he’s sought to fight for a long time, Wanderlei Silva.

James Irvin says "I don’t think he has that heavy handed punching power that someone like Scott Smith or Quinton Jackson does." I agree, but when Anderson Silva follows through on one of those punches with an elbow or grabs his head and shoves a knee into his face, the power is the same. He may not punch as hard, but his Muay Thai is as powerful as any punch from Scott Smith or Quinton Jackson. I fully expect Anderson Silva to use his Muay Thai much more prominently when he moves up to light heavyweight.
