UFC 112 Discussion

What really pisses me off is Anderson Silva should've fought Vitor Belfort, but Belfort was injured, so Demian Maia replaced him.

Quit playing around and do Silva vs. Belfort in August for the title, if Belfort is healthy. Just keep Silva down in Middleweight until he can meet Belfort, because Belfort will win easily if Silva defends himself like he has in past performances against Thales Leites, now Maia. When/if Silva does fight Belfort, neither man will play around. Silva knows Belfort is powerful and deadly fast. Giving Belfort a shot guarantees money, and Dana White realizes this. If Silva defeats Belfort, move him to another class. Better yet, if George St. Pierre feels like moving up, Silva/St. Pierre should happen. Just wait and see if Silva can beat Belfort. Now maybe I'm favoring Belfort because he's my all-time favorite fighter, but nobody else is able to trade punches against Silva. Silva's ducking is pretty amazing, but if Belfort were to catch him, he'd likely lose.
