I think that is hard to prove, I mean there have been other guys who have been given less than stellar efforts and their licensces were not taken from them. Kalib Starnes ran from Nate Quarry for an entire fight. Remember Gabe GOnzaga had a fight where the ref threatened to take a point from both fighters before Ganzaga threw the only two punches of the round and won. I don't think that there is much of a chance that this would happen. The NSAC still sanctioned Tyson after he bit HOlyfields ear off. But I guess anything is possible.

Ya.... that's not going to happen

To be honest I think that next time Anderson will think twice before making again what he made saturday.
He won the match an is still the champion, but his boss is very unhappy with him, he lost many fans, now this comission stuff.

The commishion gets it's money from these fights So with politics they won't bite the hand that feeds them

[MetallicKnight3X]

good info on the licensing tho my guy.. very interesting stuff but like these guys are saying thats not going to happen. like lwbrewer said.. i think the " dont bite the hand that feeds you." saying fits very well.

Dana wouldn't let Silva go, but if he did, we could see Hendo vs. Silva II at Strikeforce.

I've said this once, I'll say it again... Silva does not want to fight brazilian fighters. He's said it again and again. UFC wants to put on a show, and Silva will fulfill his contract, but not the way UFC wants him to. When was the last time Silva finished a brazilian fighter? When was the last time Silva did not finish a fighter who was not brazilian???...

I love Silva regardless, he's a true master of this sport!

[Pasha K]

So if Silva´s lack of finalization is a sort of protest to UFC for making him fight other Brazilians is something I dont like but I can understand.

What I can not understand are the antics and provocations towards Maia.

[notBJpenn]

OK he doesn't want to fight Brazillin fighters for some reason, but he has no problem yelling insults and profanity at them in the middle of a fight, and showing them all kinds of disrespect.

That makes about as much sense a screen door on a submarine.
