    Hard to say but I think Anderson would take it. As much as I don't wanna say it...

    Anderson is why more technical with his punches as wanderlei has wild swings. I say Anderson by KO

    Ill take Anderson not sure by what but he would use Wanderleis wild swings and agression agianst him Andersons angles,speed,reach-jab,combos would just brutalize Wanderlei. Wanderleis strength is his Thai Clinch but it probablly wouldnt get him anywhere agianst Andersons who may actually be better. I dont think Wanderlei has the wrestling skills to get him down and keep him down and I dont think hes got a real JiuJiutsu advantage in this fight. His best hope really is to land those agressive wild hooks he likes so much. This is a stylistic nightmare for him as is almost any guy going agianst Silva.

    Its a horrible style matchup for Wanderlei, who isn't all that big of a 205'er to begin with.

    Good question. I look at it this way. Can you tell me how Anderson reacts in a hard fight? When he is taken down and ground and pounded? Right now you can't. He has rolled the UFC and hasn't been pushed at all. Where over his career, Wanderlei has been pushed and cameback to win vs harder fighters. I would have to take Wanderlei at this time, because there are questions that havn't been asked in a fight vs Anderson at this time.

    He did good for a round then Anderson totally picked him apart in the 2nd standing and ground.

    he picked him apart on the ground, because he badly hurt Henderson standing.

    This One Would Be Very Bad Anderson All The Way He Would Use His Foot Work And Angles 2 Not Get Bum Rushed Like Wandy Does (ie Keith) And He Would Pick Him Apart The Same Way He Did 2 Leben Not Saying Leben Is Better Than Wandy But The Both Have That Aggressive Style That Anderson Just Eats Up And Spits Out! Just My Thoughts On It

    Silva could win this anytime he wanted to. I'd say 2nd round KO is about right.

    I agree.

    Silva for sure.

    Always hard to back against the Brazilian in these match-ups.
