Anderson Silva vs Chuck Liddell - UFC 95

No, Lesnar was meant to fight Coleman, but he got injured and Herring replaced him. But the intention was for him to do second time, what he couldn't do first, and that was beat a former champ to legitimate his pressence.

What main event fights does Silva have left at MW, if Bisping is off the cards for over 6 months with TUF, and fighting Rich or Hendo? There is no point pitting the guy who is the consensus worlds best against anyone but the upper echerlon of LHW talent. I mean what did that Irvin fight do for him?, but at the same time, can't have him walk in and beat anyone they are looking to promote as the future of the sport.
