Anderson Silva's second test at 205

[québecwarrior]

Why not vs Matt Hamill????????
Put him against that great wrestler, the strongest fighter that Silva would have faced.
Sure Hamill's striking is lacking, and is still not a very complete fighter, but why not?
That kid has a great chin, great desire, and I would like to see Silva try to dont being taking down.

Silva would probably win this by TKO in the 3rd round, but Hamill could make it competitive. One thing is sure, Hamill can hold down Silva to the ground.

Anyway, that would be a better fight than vs Jardine who would get knocked out in the first 2 minutes or vs the compeltly washed up Liddell.

A good test vs a big man, before facing the top dogs, if he moves there permantly


Would you like to see that fight?(Forget the 5 fight that he say he will do and call it a career because I dont believe it)

He'd MURDER Hamill! What do you have against Hamill?????

I love that kid!
I just think that he would do better, in a style wise, than the like of Irvin, Cote, Jardine, Wandy, Franklin's version of 205.

He could make it borring by laying on Silva:good

If Silva moves up to 205 he probably deserves a top 10 guy right off the bat.

Dana has said if Chuck wins his next fight it could be Chuck vs Anderson at UFC 100. Hamill would get battered, lately he hasn't even been using his wrestling skills at all.

[québecwarrior]

Apart from Hamill, who can you make him face???
Rashad Evans? No way he is the champ, you cant put him there right now, we already have a messed up situation with BJ if he take the WW belt, and hold the LW on hostage.

Forrest Griffin? The guy just went to suffer a big TKO loss, he need a 1 or 2 easy fight, had an hard year

Chuck Liddell? The guy is 100 percent shot, and will get knocked out cold again, call it a career please

W.Silva? Same thing

Randy Couture? That would be interresting, but the age is showing up, his resistance is not what it was, but it could be nice to see what approach Couture would use.

Machida? They are friend, forget it

Shogun? Need to see him vs Coleman to see if he is back

Henderson? Could be fun to see a rematch as I feel Hendo didnt perform like he should had

T.Silva? That could be a right fight, if he beat Machida

Rampage? The guy want to fight Forrest or the champ, don't think Dana will put him already vs Silva.

Brandon Vera? The guy is still in the UFC because he makes Dana money



So lets put it vs Hamill, a pretty sure win, a great wrestler, will make other fight huge, if he trash him, 'cause he is a legit fighter at 205.

I'll lose all the little respect I have for Dana if he make that fight.
He would do that just for money, and if he is really a friend of Chuck, he wouldnt put that. Chuck isnt no more a top guy, and that would just put a shame of his resume, an other KO loss.
But I wouldnt be surprised if Dana do that, 'cause we know money talk.

I think Silva should get a top 10 Light Heavy. I don't think people would complain if Silva got a title shot right now, providing he dropped the middleweight strap.

But he is way out of Hamill's league. If Franklin beat him like that Silva would brutalise him. There's plenty of contenders around. Luiz Cane, Thaigo Silva after the Machida fight, Jardine or Vera. Personnaly I'd like Vera to be fed to him. Can't stand him.

Because Hamill didnt use his wrestling, I dont know why. I'm sure wrestler fear to be recognised as a lay and pray guy whos borring so they try to strike. It's a stupid thing to do, Kos is an other guy like that.

If he drop the belt at MW, then okay lets put him vs the champ, but if he is to fight at MW too, dont put him vs the champ right away.

No Hamil please this is getting old fast hes fight Leites now thats 3 straight fights agianst ok oppostion. If hes the best p4p fighter in the world like the UFC loves to say that make some big fights damnit. Keith Jardine and Chuck Liddell should fight agian and Anderson should go after the winner.

[LB3000]

The rumours are that Chuck will fight the loser of Hendo vs Franklin or Shogun if he wins. If he beats any of those guys then fair enough.

Jardine would beat chuck again I think.

Chuck just doesnt have it anymore, his win vs Wandy, tell more about Wandy than Chuck

I doubt it Chucks fighting like March 7th that gives those guys less then 2 months. Jardines on the card I dont see why they dont make that unless someones afraid. Its perfect to match them up if Chuck wins ok hes back in contention and avenges a loss and Jardine loses noboddy cares because thats expected for him he cant win 2 fights in a row anyway. If they match up Liddell vs Shogun/Franklin/Hendo the losers career is basically ruined now it would make Franklin 0-5 vs the big name elite fighters and question his legacy greatly,Hendo will have lost 4 out of 5 and Shogun 2 of 3.

Rampage vs Anderson
Hendo/Franklin vs Anderson at 205
Wandy vs Anderson
Jardine vs Anderson
Thiago vs Anderson
Forrest vs Anderson
Evans vs Anderson

All better fights then Hamill vs Anderson or Chuck vs Anderson

Rampage vs Anderson

Wandy dont have more chance than Chuck
nor Jardine.

Franklin and Silva could fight at 300lbs, that wont matter, A.Silva is just a nightmare for Franklin.

in all honesty anderson would kill the 205 division he would easily beat rashads ass. a good match up for him would be page a fighter that can box take a punch and would take the fight to him. hamil gets destroyed. but still i dont see the point in anderson fightin in the 205 because he has gone on record to say he would never fight for the belt because its machidas to take. anderson fighting at 205 just eliminates potential title contenders

Yeah true, maybe if Shogun wins easily/quickly and doesn't want a long wait for his next might then that could be a possiblity. Chuck vs Jardine makes sense but I've just read on mma weekly that Jardine has been pushed back to UFC 97 card.

Update: Looks like Jardine will be fighting Luis Cane at UFC 97. Good to see Cane back in action. Jardine is going to get KTFO. :yep
