What fights do you wanna see??
Silva vs Bones would be sweet but I think Anderson needs wins over a guy like Rampage, Rashad, or Shogun before they should give him a shot at the LHW belt.. Phil Davis vs a guy like Franklin or Griffin would be good.. If Bones loses I think a fight between him and Machida would be entertaining, that's if machida beats Couture.. What are some of the matches you'd make if you were Joe Silva?? |

I don't think the most dominant champion/fighter in the history of the UFC would have to prove himself against anyone before fighting someone who just won the title. That's like saying GSP should have to fight Okami and Sonnen before he gets to fight Silva.
I do believe a fight between Phil Davis and Griffin would be good. I wouldn't mind seeing BJ take on Benson Henderson at 155 or Koscheck at 170 only because Kos talks a lot of shit and BJ has a temper. I think he'd bring out the killer side of BJ. Stefan Struve vs. Brendan Schaub would be a good match up of two young up and coming heavyweights. If we're really talking fantasy match ups: Phil Davis vs. King Mo is something I'd want to watch. Damian Maia vs. Jacare would have some sick jiu jitsu Diaz vs. GSP so Diaz can put up or shut up. Fedor vs. Couture in a battle between two of the most respected guys in the business. |

Yeah, would love to see Randy vs. Fedor, especially now Fedor can no longer pretend he's invincible.

But the UFC LHW division is the most stacked division in the history of MMA.. Comparing GSP moving to 185 where they are having to create contenders is alittle different than Silva moving to a division where the contenders are lined up around the block..

technically it wasn't. they were going to offer jones the shot if he won but nobody said bader would have got it if he was the victor.

Simple fact is Silva is amazing, but he only has 2 lhw fights in the UFC.. Only 1 of those was against a contender and that was 2 years ago..
Not saying he can't contend just say g he should have a run at lhw before being givn a title shot.. Also, with the talent pool UFC has right now they'd be limiting there title fights having one fighter holding two belts.. |

Also, a guy who is undefeated and has closed out his division doesn't have to start at the middle of the pack if he moves up to a weight class he has already won two fights in. Anderson Silva isn't a prospect with potential who is moving up. He isn't B.J. Penn moving up after two losses. He's the most dominant fighter in UFC history.

I'll do you one better Krimzon:
Cyborg Santos in a handicap match against Gina Carano and Amanda Nunes. DAT ASS! Overeem vs. Olympic Style Drug Testing would be a crazy match up as well. |

Fact of the matter is, someone who cleans out their division, moves up in weight class, and makes a former LHW champ look like a rookie doesnt need to beat anyone to prove himself...he did that already. Eleven times. |

Fedor Vs Randy
Aldo Vs Penn (Catchweight) GSP Vs Silva (Catchweight) Jones Vs Silva (Catchweight) Cain Vs Jones (In a few years when Jones grows into his frame. Trust me he will be a heavyweight) Mir Vs Fabricio Overeem Vs JDS Evans Vs King Mo Nick Diaz Vs Fitch Edgar Vs Melendez Bader Vs Rampage |

Cro Cop v Shogun kick bonanza
Bisping v Silva would be lulz too, I imagine it'd end like the Griffin fight. We need Charles Bennett in the UFC tho, then Charles Bennett v GSP. |
