“I don’t see any of them except maybe Chuck or Machida giving him a big challenge.”

Chuck?????? LMAO.

The guy has been getting masterfully counterstruck by guys like Rampage and Rashad Evans. He’s absolute fodder against someone like Anderson.

His huge reach advantage is probably not even that much against someone with the length of Silva and we know that moving up to 205 for him isn’t a stretch nor does he look over-bulked.

Liddell would get FEASTED on.

Machida and Anderson are like Rashad and Jardine. They’re too close to ever fight each other.

I don’t think they want to deep six Jardine yet, they seem to be giving him a lot of opportunities to succeed. They want him to fight for the belt.

Machida/Silva is like, Dana White’s worst nightmare and an awesome martial arts show down.

He’s clearly never going to fight Machida. They’re apparently going to be in London in February, and Chuck is rumored for it, I hope they do that fight there.

If the UFC wants to put Silva against a 205 gatekeeper, Jardine would likely be the best one to match him up with. If they want to put him with a higher risk opponent, it will likely be Chuck Liddell or Lyoto Machida (since Silva/Rampage III and Griffin/Evans are already booked and Randy is facing Lesnar at HW).

Funny thought, with how IRATE Iole was at this, and Yahoo!’s reaction in general, over/under on Anderson losing his best P4P spot?

The blog posts for marks stuff is a bit crass. This isn’t pro wrestling.

Anderson Silva has earned the right to fight exactly how he wants, when he wants.

By the way, do you think it is over the top to draw out this equation?
UFC + Yahoo = Blog posts for Marks.
