Chael isn't going to challenge GSP at 170 and definitely not Bones Jones at 205.
He would do real well challenging John Cena for title at Wrestlemania tho....

Guys, let's face it. Silva is 37(38?), past his prime, and is becoming more and more injury prone which is requiring him to take longer and longer to recover. Without HRT, he probably has another 2-3 years before he is like Fedor. I would much rather see him desimate Sonnen and then retire after the biggest fight of his career, instead of beating Sonnen, and then go and loose to somebody like Munoz and fight lesser competition untill he retires. I eat him to go out on top as the greatest MMArtist in UFC history and a serious contender to GOAT.

no one is challenging his status or talent, but anderson is human and aging.
