| Best anderson silva opponents in my fantasy land!
Alright, Anderson Silva is the greatest middleweight fighter EVER and is at this moment, simply untouchable, so I was daydreaming today and made a wish list of his next opponents in a perfect world, considering match quality and entertainment value, opponent skill and an idea that Anderson will not retire, but simpy mow people down in his wake and chase them all to the cemetary gates.
So, assuming Anderson fights every four months, that's three a year, so starting with his next fight, here's how I'd wish Anderson's career would be mapped out and those he would defeat. Keep in mind I'm booking him against the BEST opponents and not worrying about promotional disputes or contracts.
UFC 94- Thales Leites
UFC 98- Dennis Kang
UFC 100- Chuck Liddell (special occasion at LHW)
UFC 104- Robbie Lawler
UFC 108- Dan Henderson
UFC 112- Michael Bisping
UFC 116- Cung Le
UFC 120- Matt Lindland
UFC 124- Nate Marquardt
UFC 128- Gegard Mousasi
UFC 132- Paulo Filho
UFC 136- Yoshihiro Akiyama
Also, Anderson clearly wins every one of these in my dream world.
Waddaya think?

like it or not, Bisping is merely a few fights away from a title shot. Personally, I'm a unimpressed by him, but I believe if he's earned enough wins, he deserves the shot. He's building up for it, so iI think he'll eventually get it.
One guy I think could give Bisping trouble would be Kendall Grove and is a fight I think would be a real true test for Michael.

I don't really think Bisping is on the level of Hendo, Marquardt or Franklin and think that if he could handle Grove, then he could climb up to fight one of those three, kinda a proving ground. Right now, I think Jason McDonald would even be too much of a task for Bisping.
