Having fought only once before at 205 pounds, Anderson Silva will have to quickly make the adjustment since he will be facing a very highly regarded opponent in the former champ, Forrest Griffen. Saturday night's fight comes on the heels of two successful title defenses that were considered boring by most fight fans.

Griffin will be the fan favorite. People are drawn to pull for him, and since he is the heavy underdog at +300 that will probably be the case again. Griffin is, obviously, a highly skilled fighter. But it's his tenacity and toughness that sets him apart. He works and prepares about as hard as any fighter in the game today.

It is not just that Silva (-500) will be jumping up to the light heavyweight division. It is that he will be facing a very large light heavyweight. Griffin is approximately 6'3 and supposedly walks around at anywhere from 225 to 230 pounds.
