Silva toyed with him then KO'ed him with a knee to the solar-plexus brutal.
Silva is the daddy. PeriodQuote:

Ah well, he seems comfy at light heavyweight..but hes the man so who can argue.
Silva vs GSP / Jones is next on the cards from what Dana said in the post fight presser.
I'm not really that intrigued by the GSP fight but it will be a shame if Jones and Silva never fight. Spider has some decent possibilities still at 185 but as far as PPV Main events I'd be much more interested to see him against the top 5 of LHW.
I would like to see him fight michael bispring.
Do you think it will be competitive? I think he'd wreck Bisping pretty similar to the Forrest fight.
I am not sure how they want to make GSP-Silva, GSP is a big MW, nothing more, Silva is too big for him and somehow, even if I am a huge GSP fan and that I believe that he's ne of the top in the sport, I'd see Silva win that one.
Silva vs Bone Jones is what should be next.
Bisping isn't as slow as Forrest. He would get off with a few shots and mix in takedown attempts maybe even get him down. But I think he would get stopped round 2/3. He keeps improving and looking better each fight and I believe he would really bring it. I wouldn't count him out for sure though.Quote:

The problem with Bisping is he is just a good fighter but not great. He has all the intangibles, good striking, good wrestling and decent subs but he isn't great in any of those things. He can't out strike the likes of Silva or Henderson or out wrestle guys like Chael although I was impressed with his wrestling in that fight.
I recently read an interview where Silva says he wants GSP coz hes an easier fight than Jones coz he will get hit less and GSP is smaller :o Jones said he wouldnt fight Silva coz they both have too much to lose in sponsorship....its fucked.
Compared to Anderson yes but you could say the same about the rest of the division.Quote:

Rockhold and Weidman both haven't been tested. Belfort is irrelevant right now he wont be fighting Anderson again. Alan Belcher is yet to step up and fight a top caliber fighter the Palhares fight was a good win but not enough to make him 'elite'.Quote:

They haven't fought the likes of Rashad, Henderson, Wandy or Sonnen but Mike lost to all of those fighters. Not sure what potential of another fight with Anderson has to do with Belfort being a better fighter than Bisping.Quote:
