Not interested. I heard Rashad Evans threw out a challenge to Silva as well, which I'd much rather see. What I think will happen is the Munoz/Weidman fill fight the winner of Bisping/Stann to see who gets the next title shot. I'd love to see Silva kick Evans' azz though. I'd also like to see a rematch with Belfort, who might have the best chance of catching Silva with a good punch.

Yeah the card itself was pretty disappointing, but it was worth it to me as a Silva fan boy to see him finally shut Sonnen up. Jones vs Hendo will probably be the next fight I pay to see as well.

It wasn't the worst event I've ever seen. I enjoyed watching the Silva fight. I like when fights are finished.

Biggest disappointments were the stand-up fights where they did nothing but dance, such as the one with the "Hulk" guy.

Forrest-Tito had a bizarre ending, and they got gassed, but at least the first round was all-out action.

Agreed on all points. I think it's because the good fights were pretty short which made it seem like the card wasn't as great. There were 2 KOs that lasted less than a minute each while the boring fights dragged on for the full 15.

Ive watched for years to know you have to take the good with the bad. It's just with the hype I wanted something spectacular to happen (like Pettis cage-walking on Benson for the TKO finish). I am also sour that Sonnen didn't pull off the upset yet again and this time didn't even get close. Unless they make the Silva vs Jones fight (if Jones gets passed Hendo). Then the only fight I can see being worthwhile is a Belfort rematch....that insane kick finished the fight so soon Belfort never got going. Not saying it couldn't happen again but they say lightening doesn't strike twice.

I'll have to download the fight to watch it later, but it seems like Weidman dominated Munoz and called out Silva afterwards. He says he will follow Sonnen's blueprint, but finish the fight against Silva with a submission.

In other news, the coaches on the next season of TUF will be Shane Carwin and Roy Nelson. I'm pretty disappointed with this choice, it doesn't seem all that interesting to me.

Great we have to watch Big Boy eat a whopper every episode. Fantastic!

After watching Weidman take out Munoz. I think he has an OK shot with Silva. The one thing that Weidman will have to get over though is he stands and fights for a little while before he took Munoz down. If he wants to beat Silva, he will need to take Silva down before Silva knocks him out

The fight doesn't seem very exciting either. Either Carwin is going to use Nelson as a punching bag for 3 rounds or Nelson is going to catch Carwin with a big punch.

I'll have to see the fight for myself, but I don't see anyone having much of a chance against Silva.

na lombard if he runs though tim boetch like expected i think should be #1 contender i think its a more fan friendly fight and can be hyped up more
he is sort of an unknown with 26 fight winning streak with that KO power.

weidman needs to fight the winner of belcher/ bisping before a shot as a 185 eliminator match

what he did last night was impressive.. i sort of felt bad for munoz he is such a good guy and i think he took a few too many shots there at the end before rosenthal called the fight

Same here. Haven't really watched any of Lombard's fights, but I saw some highlights on YouTube and he looks pretty impressive. His record is pretty impressive as well, but we'll have to see how he does with UFC level competition. I'd like to see Lombard vs Belfort and have the winner of that get the next shot at Silva. That would be an exciting fight.

I want to see Silva loose a fight. His last couple fights have not been good.
