Ohhhhh shit

I hope Thiago Silva gain some weight cuz last time I think he fought was at middleweight correct?

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Still wanna see Thiago vs Bigfoot.

 

[jeskola]

Gotta hand it to McSweeney's manager. Somehow he continues to get booked into reletively high profile fights and main events.

Yes and he looked a lot smaller. Luckily for him Mcsweeney isn't very good and has the ground game Art Jimmerson wouldn't want.

Actually his ground game is pretty good considering how crappy he was at the beginning

This is true. Wish thiago had more time to roid though. Not a good fight to take on short notice though. Plus thiago does his own training these days. Not the smartest idea

btw 2016 & 2018, he went from HW to MW...

Awesome. If Thiago is open to fight at HW he may have his grudge match with Bigfoot. Those 2 used to hate eachother.

Id take a 170 lb thiago silva over bigfoot these days.

Back in the day was Thiago who refused to move up and fight Bigfoot saying he was a LHW and not a HW.

I remember Bigfoot saying he was in talks with his doctors to see if a cut to 205 was possible.. LOL.

So true.
He has a terrible record and is old but somehow he fought in the UFC, ONE and KSW.

So you are saying that technically it was possible ?!

 

[king of theRing]

Because if you catch Mcsweeney at a good place mentally, there is money to be made. If only we got this mcsweeney every time

 

[Mike K.O]

Silva wins

Thiago is pretty awful these days.
