(although i think dana picks great match ups) and yes , i know that he supposedly doesn’t (officially), i think behind the scenes he’s the expert who’s opinion is taken as the right one. whatever you wanna say about dana he knows MMA but still, but i favor the ladder. put another way it be good for the sport, but maybe not amazing for the pay per view. i don’t respect the PPV but it’s a tacky reality. a way around it might be to televisegive the biggest air time to the brock fighters who in the laddrer system would possibly hit a ’snag’ like carwin or cain before reaching the supposed top. hendo spider 2 is the fight i wanna see.

He is probably the only person in recent memory to beat silva in a round.. well he didn't quite beat him in that round but he was in control until he got caught. Hendo was easily overpowering Silva in the clinch during that fight and could do it again which is why he would be a great opponent for Silva. Hendo can beat Silva I have no doubt.

The timing works. It would be an epic fight, easily maketable for hardcore and casual fans, and i doubt there will be a title on the line come that PPV so they will need some fights like this to bolster the card.

Belfort coming back would be interesting but a fast track to a title shot? I wonder what that means...will he be given "da spyder" or some other whatever dude @ mw for the shot? Or will he fight a top mw right away and get a shot if he wins? There are 2 possib;e # 1 contenders soon with the hendo vs bisping and maia vs marquardt fight so who knows if anderson will even be the champ. Either way i'd like to see more talented strikers @ mw and if vitor comes back and wandy drop down that will be kool. i agree TW@ dana’s a smart dude and i’m sure he’s not going to make the same mistake twice.

Silva. IMO adding Belfort is a hugh addittion, besides Belfort has a lot of fans and he can sell tick for the UFC and if he has the right mind set I have no douths he can defeat A. Silva.

I think that is a bigger reason for him doing that than him "owing" the UFC one for his rampage. Rampage also saw more dollar signs for taking TUF 10 and the Rashad fight than a fight with Machida.

Look at how many times Wand was supposed to abandon pride and come to the UFC. Fedor is another story of someone who 'may' be gracing the octagon's presence and never worked out. He may be just waiting to see how Vitor does before extending an offer, but the announcement lets Belfort know he's interested.
