Silva vs. who in the next round? Maybe not Saku.

I believe this has been shown in the US now, so no spoiler right?? lol

Anyway, one Japanese page is mentioning the likelyhood Silva will be given Nakamura in a "revenging the masters loss" type fight for the next round....

It's like this, If these two are to meet one day, they might as well let them get it over with....It's a nice match-up....

damn....
Poor saku, who is he gonna fight?
Except if he does like Kondo vs Igor, I cant see him dont be KOed :(

I thought it would be a Kaz/Saku match so its gauranteed that a Japanese is in the final four.

Let Silva fight either Arona or Nog next...

yes that sound very good!

[nycfreefight]

With Rampage is out, Belfort is out, and he just beat Yoshida.....There's also Igor....lets not forget him

[heckyl]

i thought maybe they would give Lil Nog to Silva, since he is one Silva said he wanted to fight.

crossing finger!
But I think it will be Arona! Really!

[nycfreefight]

If it's Arona, then that is an excellent match-up

[Fozzy]

if they give him saku... omfg i'd hate pride. on one side i want saku to win, cause then he would have beaten him and it'd finally be over, but on the other side, seeing saku get killed again would suck shit.

I'd like to have seen Arona vs Wand, Wand vs Lil Nog, or if randleman wasnt out, randleman vs wand, that would of been interesting. I wouldnt see wand stopping randleman's shoot.

It is all over that Wand will be fighting Nakamura... I think that Shogun will be fighting Arona. Saku may have a chance of avenging one of his loses against Igor or Minotoro...

further evidence of it being highly likely though. Sakakibara also sates it is very unlikely Naka will fight Saku, and mentions Saku has already fought Igor, Lil' Nog and Silva......so...

[majorcunningham]

silva/arona sounds ideal to me. silva has to defeat a fresh arona, otherwise we'll be in the state of affairs that we were in after rampage/silva 1, ie, nothing proven.
