Young rising prospect Erick Silva vs Jordan Mein set for UFC on Fox 26

[Deleted member 501827]

What a great fight to propel this young stud Erick Silva to the top. Kids got a bright future ahead of him. Champion by 2018 no doubt. This fight, imo, signifies a changing of the guard. I know its sad but its natures way. Mein is 28, getting to that retirement age and starting to slow down. This young red hot 33 year old stud is gonna make short work of the veteran. All the potential in the world for this kid. Fastest rising prospect since bursting onto the stage in 2011. I cant wait.

Was gonna flame the shit out of you for calling that old bastard young, but then...

And the Kim fight, and the Brown fight, and the Taleb fight, and the Medeiros fight. Kid be picking up lessons everywhere.

Showed great takedown defense in that fight. Kid is making leaps and bounds of progress in such a short time. Looking very promising.

Jordan is a big step for the kid. but I have no doubt he'll pass with flying colors..

 

[quadrunner]

We know how good mein is, no one truly knows how great Silva can and will be just yet.

I think Jordan will put up a tough fight but silva will probably be on another level in this one, the kid just continues to grow with every fight.

[Reach4theSky]

Silva isnt young.

 

[wookie brawl]

UFC needs an exciting youth injection to revive its flagging state. Young Erick is certainly thriving in that role.

 

[Hidden_Hand]

I've been hearing alot about this upcoming prospect lately.

Is it true he's only 33 years young?

 

[hitman911]

Erick silva is one of the top up and comers in the world. It's crazy how young he is. There's no way he's even old enough to even be in the UFC.

 

[RDUBYA]

Silva will be champ in 2027, you heard it here first.

 

[Roljo]

This joke is flogged out

[sonhow]

Mein gets a reminder of what a Young promising guy just can do in there. Silva gonna surprise a lot of people.
