Rampage vs Silva (Thiago)

[mattboxingfan]

I want Rampage to win but Silva looked like a beast in the Vera fight it seems his back surgery means he can use all his skills. Rampage and take a shot and give one as can Silva so it will be a great fight. I hope Rampage comes ready. I wonder if the winner of the Bader vs Jones fight will face the winner of this then they get the title shot. I fancy Bader to take Jones and Silva.

I'm leaning towards Rampage pretty heavy. I think his standup is better than Silva. Outside of Silva landing a perfect big shot I think Page can use his technical boxing to frustrate Silva. Silva's takedowns looked really good against Vera but I am reluctant to believe he will have that kind of success with Page. All that a side if Page doesn't have a good camp and show up in top form Silva will either overwhelm him or win a decision similar to Rashad's.

From my understanding if Rampage wins, he gets a title shot, if Silva wins, he fite's the winner of Bader/Jones (which will be a barnburner). Also in the title shot picture is Couture should he get passed Machida. If Machida wins, I think he also slots in to fite winner of Bader/Jones. If Machida, and Silva both win, I have no idea who Dana and Joe Silva will put in the Octagon against the winner of Bader/Jones?! Maybe the Brazillian who wins more impressively?!?
