    A contest between a shot fighter and a never was. Bisping sucks and Silva's milking his name now.

    Silva is a shot as they come, but he's still entertaining. He's usually getting brutally KO'd (Henderson, Cro-Cop, Rampage), but still was on the right side of a brutal KO (Jardine).

    UFC 105 is in England, and they usually get the B-Level cards. Bisping headlining only makes sense, as he's England's most popular fighter. He needs a win in a bad way after being destroyed by Henderson, and Silva is a winnable fight for him.

    But since we don't know how Bisping is gonna react from getting brutally KO'd, I'm gonna pick Wandy by KO. I think Bisping will be gun shy, and upon seeing this, Wandy will go balls out against him and land a KO punch.

    Interesting one, shouldn't be a headliner, but the british UFC fans have been shortchanged like this before. It'll be a sellout regardless.

    I'm not convinced that middleweight is the best weight for either guy....Silva-Franklyn was only at a catchweight, and at this stage of his career, i don't know how Silva will cope with shedding the extra pounds.....and Bisping looked like a skeleton vs Henderson (especially when he was laid out motionless at the end)

    The UFC are embarrassingly obvious in how they promote Bisping. The guy just got slaughtered so they need him to comeback against a 'top fighter'

    Bisping doesn't have one punch power, Silva still does. This could really backfire on Bisping. If Bisping is smart, he'll stay away and coast to an easy UD.

    Wow. Bisping is knocked completely silly by Henderson and for a comeback he gets Silva?

    Washed up or not, Silva is not the best guy to fight when trying to regain confidence in your chin.
