The number of fights that a fighter has is NOT a qualification for whether or not that fighter has a title shot. History proves that. This is just another one of your rationalizations for Anderson's inability to do wrong in your eyes.
Who else in the middleweight division has TWO top 5 wins in a row?
Do your googling and search through the fight finders and come back with an answer.
So, because people got unqualified titleshots in the past, the UFC should continue to give people title shots under questionable qualifications?
I'm not saying that Chris isn't deserving, just questioning that statement you made.

My statement is that the number of fights that a fighter has in his professional career should not be a qualification for his title fight. The opponents who he beat and how he beat them in comparison to the rest of the division should be the only thing that matters.
RD stated that Weidman should not get the fight against Anderson because Weidman has less wins in his career than Anderson does in the UFC. Also, he states that Boetsch is more respectable because he has mroe fights in his careers. Then he ends his paragraph with crying about how much Silva and Soares are hated by saying the UFC wants to give Silva a wrestler.

Illogical and hilarious way of thinking to me.
- Feel free to point out anywhere in my reply where I said "the UFC" wants to give Silva nothing but wrestlers. I said his haters want to see him fighting nothing but wrestlers. If that constitutes as bitching and crying then you are equally guilty of complainging about Weidman not getting a title shot. That door swings both ways.
I do not nor will I share your opinion on Weidman being the undisputed number 1 contender until he beats a few more contenders to prove himself. I'm old school and believe that hard work should pay off. Bisping has been putting in work and Weidman should have never been given the opportunities to leap frog ahead the way he has. Weidman is where he is due to sheer opportunity. Bisping is where he is due to hard work. 27 fights and only lost 4.
Also the proof you questioned was posted again in a reply to Riv for the 4th if not 5th time and remains unanswered.
Scroll up and actually read before being so defensive.

Neither of these two have beaten the whose who of the mw division. Its my suspicion that people just want to see Silva fight another wrestler with avg strinking. They have this belief that only a wrestler can beat Silva and its rather obvious when you look at a compilation of the comments here on this board.
If Silva and Weidman ever did fight I promise you they would look for the next available wrestler before demanding he move up a weight class or two to fight Jones or Cain V.
That is how much Silva/Soares (since some can't distinguis the two) are hated. I would put money down that even if Silva fought and beat Weidman people here wouldn't give him his props. Instead they would say shit like, "about time he stopped ducking him".
To me the man is in a "catch 22" when it comes to the opinions of his detractors. It's damn if he does or damn if he doesn't.
The "poor me" statement I referred to. Everyone wants to see Silva fight Weidman because he is the top ranked MW in the division, not because he is a wrestler.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. You posted some proof of what, and where?
It's really hard to take anything you type seriously, so honestly, I just scan it. When you say completely ridiculous dumbfuck stuff like Wiedman needs to beat a "few" more guys to be #1, there really isn't a point in trying to focus on your nonsense.
Did you post the GSP vid where Georges actually says he's looking forward to a fight with Anderson? I must have missed it. you don't have to repost it, just tell me the post number, I can find it myself.
Did you have a response where you questioned where I'd come to the conclusion that Anderson is full of shit and I illustrated all the times he's gone back on his word in the last couple years?

maybe some drastic measures are in order here... especially since anderson really won't be around that much longer.
if he wants to sit out for a year, let GSP risk the fight against hendricks, and let the MW division actually be competitive for a year with the crop of contenders.

That would explain a lot. Even though I disagree with most of your posts I atleast take the time to read them nomatter how out of bounds I think they are. I do so because you took the time to write it.
Anyways I have to assume you refuse to watch video clips since they typically leave very little room for debate (Page 9, Post 85). Let me know when you find any resource where GSP refused the fight because he sure as hell didn't last night.
If GSP was nearly as adamant on not fighting Silva as you claim chances are we wouldn't be having this discussion.

By not refusing he may as well be accepting. As soon as Dana throws that money infront of his face his camp will accept it. Ofcourse the alternative is getting KTFO by Hendrix (and he will btw).
