the one thing that silva has always shown to have is the ability to end a fight within the blink of an eye in as unexpected a way as anyone else. Bones may throw unorthodox strikes.. but silva ends fights in unorthodox ways, almost pulling moves out of his ass when you think its either over or just beginning. I think Silva is a douche outside of the ring and can be at times boring depending on the fighter hes facing. And I am 100% a bones fan. Knew hed run through rua... but to say that bones would beat silva is too hard to say given the fact that at this moment silva on his feet is #1. Even if bones has the reach. Not sayin that bones would lose.. just sayin that its too tricky to just say.
