Source: Bloody Elbow

Multiple time world jiu-jitsu champion Renato Laranja voiced his opinion on who takes home the win in the Stephan Bonnar (17-7) vs. Anderson Silva (32-4) fight, noting that it will be a massacre.

"The UFC was very generous in this fight because it's so close to Halloween," said Laranja to Bloody Elbow. "I think it's good that they put it close to there because I think it's gonna be a blood bath. It's gonna be like a massacre. You gonna watch a guy just to get his face beat up. That's OK. Every once in a while, you gotta throw the fans a bone."

Heading into the fight, Bonnar is the obvious underdog. Before this fight Bonnar considered himself retired, but couldn't pass on the opportunity to take on the man who is undefeated in the UFC with 15 wins.

"Don't get me wrong, I love Steven Bonnar," said Laranja. "I think if you voting for Steven Bonnar in this one, you just using your heart, and not you brain. After that fight, he's gonna eat from a straw."
