Wanderlai is DONE!! Franklin is going to knock him out 2nd round. He just can’t take a punch anymore and with his style he needs to be able to take a punch. He wouldn’t stand a chance with Anderson.
June 6th, 2009 at 1:30 am
silva vs franklin will go all three rounds but i think wandrlai gets him in the end it wont go to the cards.then you get silva vs silva where i believe wanderlai is at his best and he would most likely beat the spider so will se but im guessing UFC 106/107 silva vs silva
May 28th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
you know what i’m sick of though?
on every discussion board in the world people always say cung le isn’t experienced enough but he has been studying viet vao do and tae kwon do since he was 10, he was undefeated in 45 fights which included kickboxing and san shou and mma. plus everybody says anderson silva would just end the fight on the ground. but he has never initiated a ground fight he just submits people from the ground if they get him there. why would cung le take the fight to the ground (though he was a state champ wrestler and from viet vao do he learned a flying scissor legs takedown) when his strength and what he does in every fight is stand up and knock people out with kicks and punches?
May 28th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Cung Le could do it too i guess if they keep it on their feet which is kinda how Silva operates anyways. He has kick power, footwork and hand speed. A little short and not enough reach perhaps but again any striker has a shot if they drop some bombs.

Belfort is a monster when he is 100% thats number 1. number 2 fedor and silva want to fight and fedor is in affliction. number 3 akiyama and yushin okami should fight and hopefully neither of them get ignored and one gets a title shot like they deserve. Akiyama is a monster, Okami is a machine. Chances are Belfort has the best shot of beating Silva cuz his hand speed is ridiculous and his knees are disgusting. If anybody can get in a shot its him
May 26th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Best matches for Anderson Silva would be in Affliction? Belfort is the only middleweight on their roster as far as I know.
May 23rd, 2009 at 6:48 pm
anderson silva needs a real fight maybe cung le or even chael sonnen but really and truly the dream matchups for him would be in affliction and as for forest griffin silva will choke him out in the third round
May 7th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
maia is gonna get put down just like leites should have been by marquardt
he’s not good enough period. Marquardt is much improved but he still can’t beat silva. i’d like to see him fight other top 185ers though and not just bjj guys he is gonna crush

Looks like the middle-weight divison going to be shaken up a bit. with Anderson fighting Forrest Griffin at 205 in august which would take him off the 185 rankings because you can only be ranked in one weight division at a time, and Demian Maia vs Nate Marquardt for a title shot (I’m gussing). Not to mention the pending entry of Wanderlei Silva into 185 we might finally get to see a “Silva/Henderson 3″ at 185. . . Well after Hendo fights Bisbing of course. So the future of 185 looks bright.

cung le and akiyama are 2 of the biggest unproven talents in this division. i believe both can be top of the division but akiyama will actually take the chance so we shall see. (akiyama is a finisher). as far as dan henderson vs rich franklin, rich won that fight so clearly it disgusts me. Disgusts me. but whatever he isn’t 185 anymore.
