He doesn't cut weight at all to make 205, and I think his size is better for 185.

I want Hendo at 185 because it won't be for the belt if they fight at 205. I want Hendo to fight Silva in a rematch, but close behind that one, but less likely, I want Silva to fight GSP next.

Despite it not being a popular vote, I'd like to see what the winner of Bisping and Miller would be like against Silva, if only in keeping with the MW division and not resorting to a rematch against a man he beat already in Sonnen.

GSP v. Silva involves a serious risk factor for the UFC. If GSP wins, all would be good as Silva has been unstoppable machine for years now, while it would secure GSP's value going forward with new fights. Silva could lose that fight and either continue to fight or retire with no effect on his career.
However, is Silva wins and subsequently retires with a win over GSP, it leaves the GSP franchise without an avenue for redemption that would plague his image with the mainstream MMA fans going forward.
The UFC tends to cater towards the new, mainstream fans IMHO, needing to capitalize on the next hot fighter/trend, which leads me to believe we will not see this fight happen.
Other than that, I'm open to any Silva fight so long as he fights to finish, not just to simply win.

I think Jake Shields should move back to 185 and try against Anderson. If Jake can take Hendo down at will, after being hurt, and Chael using wrestling to dominate Anderson, I think Shields may do better. Sonnen never attempted to pass guard once, and Jake always moves position while on the ground.
I know it may not be a popular choice, but I think it's better than these potential rematches with Leben, Sonnen or Belfort.

I wouldn't mind, except Shields didn't look great against GSP, so to give him Anderson, I think think Shields needs a big win at 185 sgainst one of the top 5 in the division before he gets the shot, but that's just my opinion

Silva/Shogun would be a fight I'd love to see, but idk how likely that is.

Y'know what, I actually see Jake Shields being able to pull it off, as long as it isn't the same Jake Shields that showed up in the GSP fight. |
