You've got the Swick vs Kampman winner and then its guys who are unproven or he has already beaten. Rush's injury will allow some guys to rise to the top. If Condit can string 3 good wins together I am sure they would give him a shot. UFC needs to go get Shields from strikeforce. GSP vs Shields is a fight that needs to be made. After the Marquardt/Maia winner faces Anderson I'd give it a 50% shot of GSP and the Spider tangling. If for what ever reason GSP and him don't meet then I think Henderson could slip in especially if he gets another KO between now and then. After that I really think Anderson either gets strong armed into a contract extension so he can fight for the LHW title or the UFC brings in Belfort in hopes he can win the belt from Anderson before he retires.


That would be real nice; Shields is a damn good fighter. Speaking f Strikeforce I can't wait for the Gina Carrao ight coming up She's a hottie and can fight. That girl she's fighting is hideous looking and scary; I forget her name but there is a video of her literally choking out a reporter lmao

But yeah; I mentioned the other day GSP is kind of gong to be in limbo like Kelly Pavlik in a division that is stale. Move up and face being too small and a non factor at MW, unless it's just a one fight thing with Silva which I thnk he gets train wrecked in; or stay and become obscure in a lacking division right now.

Still I'd like to see Fitch get another shot; but after the 1st one sided affair I can't see him improving enough to beat him, GSP just will have his # I think.

Don't know where Alves' loss leaves him, except to try for aother title shot. He looked off the other night; not explosive and not sure whether it was nerves or the weight loss catching up to him. He' a better fighter than what we saw Sat. night; though GSP is overall a better fighter. Swick is a good fighter and has great hands; and his reach and speed will give him an advantage in stand up with GSP imo; could be ne of those upset things; though GSP will dominate the ground. And imo Swick looks too drawn at WW; a good body attack and his thin frame won't take it.
