I think it is just a typo. But I think the UFC is hoping Bisping pulls off the win. Good luck to Bisping I think he will have his hands full with Henderson. But for the sake of seeing something different I hope Bisping does win. Then I hope his confidence gets so high that he actually thinks he has a chance in hell against Silva. I'm hoping it's a typo, because that just wouldn't be fair. Giving the loser a title shot is just silly.

So, what's Anderson's next test? Ken Shamrock?

Here is what I got from mmanews.com
It is Forrest discussing the Silva fight.
I'm just focused on dealing with this dude. I just want to show up prepared and actually fight the guy. I just don’t think anyone has actually tried to fight him up to their ability.
Irvin went in and charged him, Leben when in and charged him. He's a southpaw counter-striker … it’s not like I'm going to go jump his crap. If you rush into that guy you’re rushing into a knockout. So I'm going to fight the guy, I'll hit him, and not get too frustrated when I miss. Because he makes you miss and then he makes you pay for it.
He's made a lot of guys feel stupid. It’s when guys get hit, and then they can’t hit him back; they just look hopeless … like they almost want the fight to be over.
Brian Oswald (MMAmania.com): Anderson Silva is considered a lethal striker but can he really hit you any harder than Quinton Jackson and Rashad Evans already have?
Forrest Griffin: (Laughing) You know, a lot of guys have hit me real hard. The thing about Silva is that he's going to hit me a lot quicker. He's got a great reach, he actually has the same reach I do and I am not going to be much bigger.

This will be a test of Silva's jaw too, why some ppl don't think that Forrest can knock Silva out is beyond me.

It might be because Forrest has I believe 1 TKO victory in his MMA career. Which came against Elvis Sinosic who has been knocked out quite a few times.
Every fighter has a punchers chance of winning by a KO. But the problem with that is in order to have that chance...you have to be able to hit Silva first. Forrest has a more refined style of striking than when he first came into the UFC but Silva is still the far superior and faster striker. Plus this isn't Silva's first rodeo against a strong striker. Leben, Cote, Franklin, and Henderson.

I probably replied to this one but I am too lazy to look back on the previous page to see.
I am very excited about this fight. I am pulling for Forrest in this one, but I think it'll be a very close match, unless Anderson just catches Forrest and he lays on the ground again.

Can't wait for this fight. I think Forrest is fighting better than he ever has and he'll give Anderson a great fight, but I still think Silva will win it... just. The Gent.
