It's about time for Chael to call Vinnie Mac I think. Not really sure where he goes from here as far as a UFC future goes after running his mouth for 2 years like that and then getting stopped in the 2nd round.
He would be the perfect character for the wwe

Agreed.

Silva vs Jon Jones would be the biggest UFC fight ever, IMO.

However, it likely won't happen. Silva is getting up there in age, though he's still one of the 2 best fighters in the UFC, along with Jones.

I agree about not fighting the best yet, but the dude is a tank. I've heard stories of how he's a savage in training.

there have been rumors that they may try to do the Jon Jones/Anderson Silva fight in Cowboy stadium, it would be an unbelievably huge fight. I don't want to see it happen because I think a lot of people would look at it as a tarnishing of Anderson's legacy. From pure fan hood I want to see it because it would be unbelievable but I 100% believe Jon Jones would dominate him.

By savage do you mean a bully that hurts less experienced guys in training? Because that's what I've heard.

I've heard that, the good and the bad. I don't condone that btw. I've heard of other fighters doing that, Rick Story being one of them.

Silva said during the post fight press conference that he is good friends with Jon and has no desire whatsoever to fight him. Jones reiterated Silva's comments on twitter by saying he has nothing but respect for Silva and would never fight him either.

I think Jon Jones would do it if the UFC persuaded him too. A win over Anderson Silva would further push him into super stardom. I do agree that Anderson wouldn't and doesn't want to fight him, I know they are loosely acquainted and are "friends"

I don't know, GSP would be interesting because he's a better MMA wrestler than Chael, he has better MMA takedowns than Chael.

He does, GSP credits his karate background for his wrestling success, due to his timing. He simply is not nearly big enough to beat Anderson imo, and is no where near tough enough. Chael is as tough as it gets in the sport and was stopped by strikes. GSP has tapped to strikes before.

If I had to pick a winner I would go with Anderson, but GSP's skill set in MMA is on a different level than Chael, including his MMA wrestling. This is why I believe it could be a very close fight since Anderson's TDD is very suspect.

Honestly, I'd like to see a rematch between Hendo and Silva is Hendo beats Jones. The odds of that happening are probably close to zero, but I'd like to see Hendo fight him at 205, i think he'd have a better chance. Also, if Hendo beats Jones I'd lose my shit ha

Also - UFC on Fuel TV 4 is wednesday, only fight I'm interested in is the main event, hoping the rest of the fights entertaining though. Hate how long it takes to get to fights when it's on TV, the broadcast starts and then it's another 20mins before a fight.

I've thought Silva would beat GSP since everyone started talking about it and I will stick with that. I doubt that Silva ever fights GSP or Bones even though either fight would be huge and make a lot of cash.

The next free Fox card is pretty good. It's better than the next pay per view.

Bader surprised me against Rampage in his last outing, although that was an injured Rampage. I don't see Bader taking Machida down even once.

Speaking of Rampage - he's fighting Glover Teixeira at 153.

Just saw that, going to be one hell of a banger. I hope Rampage changes his mind and sticks around for a few more years.

Don't think Rampage has the will to win fights anymore and is showing up for a paycheck. I feel like he's another one of the old guard to go down again. Seriously, I really hope Hendo connects with Jones chin.

Word is Chael's camp will appeal the fight and seek sanctions/fines against Silva's camp due to the Vaseline.

Sonnen needs to let that go, the ref wiped him down. He got stupid and paid for it by trying that spinning elbow. If anything it was the shorts pulling that stopped the takedowns, which the ref again warned to however it didn't stop but not long after it was over. Nothing Sonnen can do will change this, he needs to move on worry about his next fights. I have a feeling his time now in the UFC will be short. Also hope his pee comes back clean that should be on his mind!
