Who's next for Silva at MW?

Which fighter do you think deserves the title shot?

Who do you most want Anderson to fight at MW?

Where does Rashad Evans stand if he truly does want to drop down?

What is your opinion of Anderson staying at MW until he retires?

if lombard wins, i think the ufc will set that up as it's a marketable champ-champ fight, especially with a top wrestler being beaten fresh in the media's mind. if lombard loses and munoz gets through weidman, then i think it'll be him. if they both lose, then fuck, the mw division is a toss up.

with rashad's most recent wins being tito and davis, i think he needs at least one solid win at wm first. i'd actually really like to see him fight okami, but with him on a losing streak, it might not make sense.

i still want to see anderson and lyoto switch divisions. lyoto could easily make mw imo and it makes for some fresh matches. realistically though, it's not happening and anderson's got the right.

I think whoever looks more better in their upcoming fight.. I'm referring to Lombard and Munoz..

It's tough because Munoz has a 4 fight win streak against stiff competition including Leben, Maia, Dollaway, and Simpson. And with Lombard, he is on a 20 fight win streak, but with lesser known or skilled guys... So when it comes to deserving, I think Munoz has won enough fights to earn the title shot.

Who do you most want Anderson to fight at MW?

Probably Hector Lombard since he is a beast, no doubt about it. I think he poses a much more dangerous threat than Munoz, since Munoz is almost like Chael, but not as good... (Munoz couldn't get through Okami, but Chael did)

Where does Rashad Evans stand if he truly does want to drop down?

He needs a win over a credible MW.. maybe a fight with the winner of Boestch and Bisping?

What is your opinion of Anderson staying at MW until he retires?

I'd be fine with it, but I'd rather see him fight again at LHW a couple of more times and see how he fairs against top LHW talent. I really want to see Silva vs Jones. That's a true dream match.

A rematch with Bisping at MW would be pretty nice actually. If Bis fights and beats Belcher he still needs another win at least before thinking about title shots and why not Evans? I want to see that rematch believe it or not.

As for where Silva goes, I don't care, it's up to him but I would like to see him fight Le in a non title fight where they use MMA standup rules only hahah. Oh dreams can be had.

It wont matter. He will just soccer kick or eye gouge whoever it is and get handed the W.

Butthurt is a fascinating phenomenon

[goodtimes]

I see nothing in Munoz's wrestling skills to make me think he can take Silva down. Silva's defense is too good; Munoz will gas and get lit up. Don't think Lombard has much of a chance either, but he's at least very fast and has tons of power. But, Silva is a much better striker and should be able to pick him apart.

I think whoever said it depends on how the next few fights come out is right. I don't think any of them have anything to offer Anderson though.

If munoz can get silva down i think he can pose a much more dangerous threat there than chael did.. he has pretty brutal gnp. And to be fair didn't Munoz face Okami after Okami got beat by chael and trained specifically with chael to not get beat like that again? I still dont think munoz has what it takes to beat silva, just curious what others think.

he did, and it was a split decision, but munoz definitely fought against a better prepared okami.

overall, i don't think munoz has that crazy forward-only, iron-chin, style that chael does and i don't think he'll be as successful because of it.

though the one dynamic that i think will be really fascinating to watch is the fact that they've trained together and seem to like each other. has anderson fought anyone that he's trained with in the ufc yet?

What in Jesus name did he neg you for? This....

surprised to hear her say that given the training history between sonnen and the cesar gracie gym.

or this....

indeed. though people don't usually say that about the folks that come to their camp. i hadn't been following it closely, did sonnen stop doing his occasional workouts with them?

Because both are extremely unwarranted. Damn
