I suggest sending a hoard of japanese geisha to **** Silva dry.
Without his chi, Silva well be easy pickins for Sakuraba.

3. Use upper body trip takedowns like Yoshida did (lower body takedowns = sprawl = knees = KO) also silva knees so much a trip should be easy
4. once on top hold silva and get him mad
5. Silva will start trying to strike from the bottom Let him get in a few shots
6. Hold and smother somemore
7. Silva will get mad bridge and try to strike harder
8 stack and pass and quickly take silvas back
9. setup up the Rear naked choke
10. when slva trys to muscle out armbar baby!

But here what's more likely to happen
1. saku tries to box, maybe thorws a leg kick.
2. Silva hits him hard saku goes for ankle pick
3. Silva underhooks knees
4. right hook left upper cut K.O.

that guard pass is a pipe dream, he doesnt pose a good enuff threat to silva on the ground. and silva getting subbed....

silva wont be singled by sak, just watch silva x sak I.

i like the "What if" Leela was a little more irrational.

Having just watched Saku Silva 2 (pride 17) last night, my hopes aren't high for Saku. That was a few years ago, when Saku was in his prime. Now Silva is in his prime and Saku is on the downward slide.

Even back then it was like he was surviving rather than trying to win. Although there were a few moments of genius (catching the kick and quick single leg) I think Saku needs more than a little luck to win this.

On a side note, it was awesome in that fight when saku was on his back and silva was up and kicking his leg (like how Saku did to Royler.) Saku timed it perfectly and as Silva loaded up for a huge kick, Saku flattened his leg... Vanderlei completely missed and was sent spinning at which point saku shot in to take him down... Saku certainly has a magic.

Whoever wins it will be a great fight, as long as its not a work.
