clearly you have something to prove and need to keep pumping yourself up. performity comes in and says that silva is good ont he ground and suddenly you are backpedaling and talking about "i was talking in comparison to nate blah blah". no you werent you were saying his ground game is bad, reread your post if you doubt it.

also i never said that long legs were not a disadvantage when it comes to giving up submissions. they can however be used to advantage when it comes to protecting yourself from taking abuse on the bottom the way silva uses the body triangle. i wasnt saying it was better to have long legs i was jsut pointing something out.

clearly you have something to prove. otherwise you wouldnt keep pointing out how knowledgeable you are and how little others know. im not a serious mma person or anything i jsut like to watch the fights so relax.

I actaully feel that Silva's BJJ is pretty good..his wrestling and grappling skills are horrendous IMO though. And truth be told, his BJJ is suspect as well because many feel it is not a true Black belt, instead it was more of a friendly gift to Nog.

To clarify, my take is still that Silva has a ton of technical knowledge in BJJ...but I think of him as similar to royce gracie...I dont' think much of his overall ground game.

Marquardt will be looking to power through him and control him on the ground. Another misconception is hte amount of power Silva holds in his hands. IMO his punches are actually on the weaker side...he KOs people because of his insanely accurate strikes and his clean knees...he doesn't have KO power in his fists

again, all IMO. Nate +185 was freaking gold. But I still donno who's gonna win this fight.
