I dont think Ace can be Silva....Silva is just a better fighter at the moment
and hopefully Vera knocks the crap outta Sylvia

I agree.
Rich Franklin was the top middleweight in the UFC hands down until Anderson Silva came around.
Rich is good on the ground a good striker..just all around he is an amazing MMA fighter. But Silva is on a different level right now, I'm gonna call it and say that he will be middleweight fighter for a long time.
Vera will be the next heavyweight champ, guaranteed.

Vera won't have fought in almost a year & although he's been exciting his best win is over Frank Mir who is a shell of the fighter he was.
He's only 8.0 & Tim Sylvia knows he can't afford another loss with the depth in the Heavyweight division right now so should be more aggressive than in last few appearances.
I tyhink it will be a much closer fight than others think & reckon Big Timmy is going to upset a lot of people with a big KO.
As for Anderson vs. Rich, I think this will be a quality fight & will be nothing like their first fight, franklin is a clever guy & he's going to be coming in with a different gameplan. Still think The Spider is getting the win though

I think Franklin is gonna up his game even more, but I still think it won't be enough to beat Silva who is at his peak.
I also think Sylvia may up his tempo moreso than previous peformances, but again I still think Vera is the better man.

I think Rich will leave his heart & soul in the octagon during this fight & not hold back. It cant get any bigger for him, being in his hometown as the challanger & in the eyes to many as the underdog. Personally, I still dont think it will be enough to win, but I'd be happy for him if he did.
As far as Sylvia goes, I hope he gets knocked out F out
