Bet we could get Cwiz and maybe Bobo.

Probably. My cousin never responds to me every time I text him about it. I'll let you know if I can do it or not once I hear back from him.

At first I was like you guys, very, very, excited to see the rematch. Now, not so much. I really think Silva is going to smoke Sonnen. Silva won't make the same mistakes again, and Chael looked bad against Bisping, of all people. Don't get me wrong though, I'm pulling for Chael to win.

I think Silva will smash Sonnen as well and I can't wait to see it happen. Silva is by far my favorite fighter and I love to watch him do his thing.

Couture>GSP>Silva for me.

But I am super excited for this fight.

For me it's not so clear after Silva. As I keep watching UFC I see new fighters getting better and better and watch other people I've never seen before and instantly love their fighting style. I'd say after Silva for me would be Shogun, Jon Jones, JDS, and Aldo in some order. So many, I can't decide

I would still love to see Silva vs GSP before he retires. I think Silva would win, but it would be a great fight.

I can't stand shogun. don't know why either. just don't enjoy watching him. For a period of time I loved watching lyoto because he was so different.

There is no doubt that Silva is a great fighter, but I lost a lot of respect for him when he was doing just enough in the first 2-3 rounds to win, then spending the rest of the fight back pedaling or dancing.

It kind of bothered me too. Who knows why he does it, maybe he just gets bored during the fights from the lack of competition. Seems like he's only like that when he's not motivated for a fight, like when they put some weak azz people against him. I'm definitely not approving of that kind of behavior, but it is what it is.

Jon Jones is great but the 205 class is thin these days. His next fight is Dan Henderson. I like him and anything can happen for sure. But he is 41 years old.

Jones is going to move up to heavyweight eventually, but when that will happen is not clear yet. Seems Dana White is not quite ready for Jones to make that transition yet. I don't think he'll have any trouble getting through Henderson. Not sure where they will go after that. I can see him having rematches with Shogun, Machida, and/or Evans before he eventually moves up to heavyweight.

He already beat those guys, it's time to move up to heavy weights, no questions asked

With the way Jones beat all those guys I don't see how Dana or the Fertitta's can think any of those rematches will bring big money. Other than a fluke I don't see anyone having any better luck next time. Dan Henderson has a better chance of sneaking in his H-Bomb on him. After this fight I think they quit BS'ing and have him move up. But just like the long debate of GSP vs Silva or Silva vs Jones it likely won't happen anytime soon.

So, you would move Jon Jones out of Light Heavyweight when there is nothing else in that weight class? Pretty much the only good fighter in that weight class, and you'd throw him up with the big boys and risk him getting pwned?

I'd do like they do with Anderson Silva and just keep him right at Light Heavyweight and welcome all comers.

I like how Dan Henderson is sitting and waiting for Jones like a BOSS! He was asked about cardio in a recent interview and he laughed and said he hasn't ran in years. He is in there to do one thing and that is to knock you out. He always delivers just like Chuck did in his prime. But yea Dan is coming to the end of the line and he knows it.
