Really? Jumping a fence and starting a fight with KJ Noons' (even if he is a baby) father is fine? Knowing full well there is a drug policy in MMA, yet being caught several times, and then basically asking "what did I do wrong?" is fine? The Diaz brothers are scumbags. Noons sucks anyway. And, I don't ever remember a time where Diaz said "What did I do wrong?". And he hasn't been caught "Several times". There was only one time where a win of his was reversed due to testing positive. Noons' ability aside, it was still a real classless move. And Nick Diaz has been caught on more than one occasion with marijuana in his system. |

At this point I like almost every fighter to an extent.
That being said, I cannot wait for the day that Rashad knocks Rampage's teeth down his throat.

An arrogant, loudmouth, douche bag. That's all there is to it. I don't find bashing company sponsors, joking about nailing you wife to a crowd and flipping off an opponent you clearly beat is good. Not to mention talking crap about smashing UFC champions when your biggest and only win was over Min-Soo Kim. Rashad: Before this TUF season, I really hated him. I thought he was too cocky for his own good. Thankfully/hopefully Lyoto knocked that out of him. He's a phenomenal coach and seems like a nice guy, but when he talks before fights it just pisses me off. I know the point of it is to talk trash, but there's something about him that just really gets to me. And he KO'ed Liddell and Forrest. That pisses me off too. Anderson Silva: I'll never take anything away from his fighting ability. The guy is one of the best on the planet. No denying it. What makes me hate him is he doesn't think any of his challengers don't deserve a shot to fight him, and refuses to fight them. Every fight is different and there's no guarantee you're going to blow through them. If the promoter says a contender deserves a shot at you, he deserves it. Shut up and fight him. Don't be a baby and say no, I'd rather see this and this happen. Its a business. They have to have contenders lined up after you fight the next opponent in case you win. I just think this guy needs to be humbled little bit. Also, his resume is not as impressive as its hyped up to be. People who get on other guys about fighting cans in order to "prove" Anderson is #1 has to look at his entire record, including UFC. You can't tell me for one second that Cote, Leites, and James  ing Irvin were going to be difficult fights for Silva. They all had their special area but it was clear who was going to win. In my opinion, the only "wow, maybe he might lose" fights were the first Franklin fight, Forrest, and Dan Henderson. Which to his credit were damn good wins. Marquardt at the time had no real chance, same with Leben and Lutter. Lutter surprised everyone by how well he did until he gassed. Pre-UFC was littered with cans. He was triangled by Daiju ing Takase(7-12-1), 4-7-1 at the time. Chonan is tough, but he should never have been beaten by him, ankle injury or not. Long story short, Excessive Hype and thinking you're above every single contender makes me hate Anderson Silva. GSP is the perfect example of Silva's opposite. He's clearly above most challengers right now, yet he never argues when or who he has to fight. Silva could learn that. ------------------- **Quietly Puts on Flame-Retardant & st*t proof suit.** Flame on. |

^^^ GSP never complains or makes excuses about fighting someone....'cept when their name is Anderson Silva.
true, he would have to gain some weight, and GSP would like to do it the right way which would take months...but a catchweight would work for the two...Anderson has fought at WW in other promotions before.
Once again, Anderson isn't the one saying these things..
when you read something off of a mma website who is the one doing the talking? Ed Soares. Anderson has what, 2 or 3 fights left on his contract? Why would he want to waste those fights on rematches when he already has guys like you who say "his record isn't all that impressive". So imagine if he finished out his mma career with Henderson, Marquardt, and Vitor.
his record in the UFC will then look like
Leben
Rich Franklin(x2)
Travis Lutter
Nate Marquardt(x2)
Dan Henderson(x2)
James Irvin
Thales Leites
Patrick Cote
Forrest Griffin
Vitor Belfort
which, like you said, only has Henderson, Marquardt, Franklin, Vitor, and Forrest as the guys who really had a shot at him.
I'd rather his last few fights go on guys like Vitor, Shogun, Rashad Evans, Randy Couture, and Rampage(if he comes back). Wouldn't those names add a lot more to his resume than any rematch would?

In my honest, honest opinion, I think it would've been Demian Maia had Nate Marquardt not knocked his ass out within 25 seconds.
So Vitor Belfort beats Rich Franklin at a Catchweight, says he's going to move to Middleweight and Dana gives him the shot.
Now, I know Anderson doesn't want rematches for his final three contracted fights, but Vitor Belfort? Really? I wanted to see Vitor have one more fight at Middleweight, but that's by-the-by now. He's getting the shot.
But the only three contenders in the Middleweight division are Dan Henderson (who may be going to Strikeforce), Nate Marquardt and possibly, POSSIBLY Vitor Belfort.
The MW Division is looking quite bare... although it would've been more interesting and possibly better for the MW Division to see Michael Bisping beat Hendo, Maia beat Marquardt and Franklin beat Vitor.
Who is actually a decent MW in the UFC?
Demian Maia, Chael Sonnen, Yushin Okami, Wanderlei Silva, Yoshihiro Akiyama, Kendall Grove, Chris Leben, Alan Belcher?
The MW division is bare for title contenders after Belfort. Does Marquardt get the shot if Belfort loses? What if he wins?
I just looked through the UFC events from 105 onwards, and Marquardt has Chael Sonnen at 110 (unconfirmed yet), so would the winner of that be next in line? I think there are a total of 7 MW fights from UFC 105 to UFC 110.

Belfort is a lot better than what people are giving him credit for. I think it's because he's a realative unknown to new viewers. I don't think he'll be able to beat Silva (in fact I don't think anyone at Middleweight or Light Heavyweight can beat Silva) but I think it's fair to give him a shot and not fill Silva's fights with rematches.

That's the only plus in giving Vitor the shot. I mean, Vitor is a sick fighter, but he just isn't the same since the situation with his sister. Take the inhumane destruction of Wanderlei Silva and the Marvin Eastman fight and then his two fights with Couture.
In the second Couture fight, he looked a lot, at least for him, off the pace, as if he wasn't concentrating on fighting like at all. 0%.
After the Matt Lindland fight, he's really becoming the Vitor Belfort of old, but I'd have given him one more fight after Rich Franklin before he should've got the title shot.

Silva got his title shot after one fight and that was against the loser who couldn't even win the Ultimate Fighter, Chris Leben.
I also find it funny you mention Belfort isn't the same, then you say he's being more of his old self. You contradict yourself right there.
