Whats up with Silva? (UFC)

[OneSickPsycho]

I'm not sorry at all that I missed it... Truth is though, as shitty as it is for the fans, it's a REAL big fuck you to White... How about giving Silva someone he CAN'T toy with? Someone who will push him... that's White's failure, not Silva's.

Speaking of crazy shit... WTF happened with Penn?

Yeah I couldn't believe Penn lost.

As far as Silva I don't think there is ANY competition for him in his weight class in the UFC. He will have to move up in weight to find competition imho.

The only guy that I think can give him competition in a lighter weight class is GSP...now I would pay to see that bout.

He wouldn't be able to toy with GSP... and White's threatening to pull that opportunity away from him.

Silva needs to make a permanent move to light-heavyweight. He would still have the edge against almost everyone on the feet, but there are wrestlers up there who could beat his ass on the ground.

Lyoto Machida

He's the undefeated Light Heavyweight Champion...whether you agreed with the decision against Rua or not.

The outcome of the fight against Shogun is debatable but he agreed to a rematch in May...right ? I can't wait to see that one !!

I'd be good with Silva fighting Rua or Machida or even dropping down to fight GSP.

Machida and Silva are friends and team mates, anyway. They're very adamant about not fighting one another. If Rua takes the light heavyweight belt next month, however, we could definitely see Silva fighting for the championship. Shogun vs the Spider could be epic.

Talking strictly performance, Machida doesn't deserve to be champion... I'd be the happiest motherfucker in the world if he redeemed himself in the rematch... I LOVE Machida, but his performance against Rua was quite unimpressive.
