and here are the weigh ins. No animosity between any fighters so it really is just competitors being weighed, but if you are interested here it is.

Really looking forward to both the prelims and the main card which is the most stacked card in a while. Main PPV starts really late in the UK though so will either tape it on ESPN or download in the morning.
I'm hoping for a Silva win as I'd like to see him on a roll for the GSP fight which imo will be after this, and a loss will mean he'd probably take a middleweight fight beforehand, either the winner of Weidman v Bostch or he'll fight Bisping which would be awesome.
Here is the Bonnar and Griffin promo which has been seeling the 153 ppv, it's pretty good.

Skill wise against Silva, he isn't on his level. However he is a huge light heavyweight, towers above Silva and by fight-time will significantly outweigh him. Silva weighed in at only 202 pounds.
So his game plan will probably be to just go out swinging and try and use his size and reach advantage, if this doesn't work he'll try and take Silva down and smother him.
Silva will probably keep his distance and try to out strike him through counter punches, I can't see him taking him down.
My prediction is a Silva win by decision by the amount of accurate strikes thrown.
