Who the hell can the UFC throw at Anderson Silva now??? He's dominated everyone. Aside from Lindland (who they won't bring back) and Filho (who's got a rematch against Sonnen), who's left at 185?

Its true I though Hendo was going to beat him, but he once again won. I have no idea who is going to de-throne Anderson.

MM.

I think Dana might look outside the UFC for a new opponent. They're just about out of options at this point.

Silva so quick with the kicks and knees.

Just recently got into this...

Watched a pay per view that was from last night. Main match was ok. But that very last match that was to fill time at the end was fucking awesome.

I thought the whole thing dragged.... the Silva/Hendo fight was good but even that seemed to drag a few times. And I still hate Leben & Koscheck.

I still hate Leben and Koscheck, but I'll give respect to Koscheck for the performance last night. I was amazed to see him with some legit striking, since the guy used to be a fucking blanket that would just lay-n-pray his way to victory. I'm fucking tired of seeing Leben cry.

With A. Silva, I still can't figure out what they'll do. Maybe have him fight Okami, but that doesn't seem like a hard fight for Silva. I've seen some crazy internet rumors in the past about Wanderlai Silva dropping to 185 to fight him. Bisping - despite sucking - dropped to 185, so that's another PPV draw that will be a shitty fight. But even outside the UFC, who is there? Are there some old Pride 185ers that I'm forgetting?

Sign Frank Trigg! He fights at 185 now. That wont happen and I doubt he could beat Silva anyway. Im guessing Okami is gonna be next and the fight is gonna be a snoozer unless Okami pushes it a little more than he usually does.

Im also looking forward to Marquart getting another shot at Silva. He didnt do so well the first time, but I think he's got what it takes to potentially get the upset.

I found this via a search for something unrelated, but I'm amazed at how valid this is over a year later. Wandy has dropped to 185 to start a grudge; Bisping vs Hendo probably for #1 contender; and Okami has, I think, missed two title shots due to injuries.

Latest news is maybe Vitor Belfort if he wins his next fight. He is doing good with the new weight.
