His monkey dance is second to none.

Sweet we can watch a one-dimensional fighter pull guard for an entire fight again. So if Maia wins and fights aSilva at some point.. does that mean we get another 5 rounds of a dude llying on his back and the champion doing his monkey dance all around him?

I mean he does have a good monkey dance..

Yeah,The winner should get Silva and the loser should fight the winner of Hendo vs Bisping.And throw The Crippler vs The Axe Murderer in there somewhere.

Bisping, would have no chance against Anderson.I’m wondering what this style he claims to have to beat him is? I doubt he even can beat Hendo. I think that Maia fighting Marquardt is perfect for Maia to see just how he will fare against a good technical striker, before he dare to try and take out Silva.

All I’m saying is, let A.Silva fight a few fights that “interest” him, while the MW division figures out who is the one true contender for the division. He has no interest in fighting just anyone the UFC says is the #1 contender at the time. The winner of Bisping/Henderson, gets first dibs at whoever has the Interim belt (Maia or Marquardt), then just let this play out with whoever is the next contender until A.Silva is ready to comeback and unify the titles with whoever has the Interim belt. That way there won’t be anymore Cote or Leites disasters.

To argue against your point, Penn wanted to have both and ACTIVELY defend both, and stressed the fact that his next fight was to be at LW regardless of a win or loss. Anderson Silva wants to defend both, but no one wants to see a heartless 5 round bore fest title defense. Give him a MW title defense where he has a point to prove; when he’s content the division has worked out a standout opponent.

re: “by him saying he has what it takes to beat silva(sic) is the same as me saying that”

Not quite, Bisping is a professional fighter in the UFC that won TUF and only has one loss on his record, you are not. Therefore, there is a huge difference between him saying that and you saying that.

If GSP loses to Alves, why would he still get to fight Silva after Silva (hypothetically) loses to Forrest?

I got a huge laugh out of the swine flu comment OnlyTrue1. very funny. let bisping fight silva, he claims he has the style to beat him which is complete and utter horsecrap. who has the guy beat to be this damn cocky? this guy thinks he should get what he wants when he wants it, give him the fight against silva so silva can destroy him, by him saying he has what it takes to beat silva is the same as me saying that. he has yet to prove he belongs in title contention. If he beats hendo he just beat a once great fighter who is on the downhill, not much gained from it, if he loses to hendo, it just proves that he is all talk. step your game up bisping and take on marquardt or maia, or if you think your ready for silva take on wandy. I doubt he has the chin to take wandy’s shots. maybe I know nothing and bisping is a god who is unbeatable. (I doubt that)

With Silva only having 4 fights left IMO he should only fight super fights. Hey give him what he wants and we’d all would be happy. He said he wants the big fights now!!! Give it to him he is p4p the best right?

If he beat Forrest and if Lyoto Loses hey man give him a crack at LH title after Rampage. I’d pay for that!!

If he loses to Forrest let him fight GSP!! Hey i’d pay for that.

Or have him defend his title no matter the his outcome, against hendo/bisping hey I’d pay for that too!

Wouldn’t yall??

It’s crazy how we all comment on who we feel should get a title shot or not.
Really it al comes down to who the ufc deem worthy and how much money that fight is gonna bring in. So many examples to go with it’s sick. But I too feel Bisping should fight more legit 185ers but who am I.

Like any organization the ufc wants certain fighter to do well and make it. Bisping for Ex.
1. is the Tuff winner after all! Do any of you Know what that means!! (smile)
2. Extrememly marketable and a hero in U.K.
3. U.K.’s poster boy for MMA
4. The new coach of Tuff
5. Openly states A.Silva is at fault for ufc 97 and Says he has the
style to beat him.

Hey give him a shot at title other people have gotten it and didn’t deserve it at all ahhhchoothalesleitesooobrocklesneroooobjpennvsgspoooo!! Wow sorry guys must be that swine flu going around.
But I say Nate the Great take this one!!!
