On topic. I don't like this match at all as I have stated many times. However at WW, where weight is not missed, I have less aversion to it. I still think that St. Pierre cannot handle the striking that Silva has however that could be negated by size loss. I have to think that Silva would have to lose muscle mass to make 170 so that will (I think) decrease his power overall. An advantage that a supremely condidioned St. Pierre could use.

Overall I still do not wish to see this fight as there is this fella called Big Rig that should be fighting St. Pierre for the title right now and if Georges beats Diaz and Big Rig beats Condit then to me there can be no match other than St. Pierre vs Big Rig.
