I think this is a fight possibility is a sign that Silva is close to retiring - more than anything. The time off from fighting while Georges is busy with Condit will allow for Anderson to drop some muscle and be able to make weight easier. If GSP loses to Condit and it is not even close --- I would still see this fight taking place if there is not an immediate rematch.
We will never see the Bones/Spider match that us fans have wanted since Bones thrashed Shogun.
Don't you feel the UFC needs to be above novelty at this point?
Its ok for the UFC to break policy and actually cater to the fighters that help make their sport what it is today. No matter what choice is made fans will just have to suck it up...
