At least for those of us who actually really like Machida. Of course, this match wouldn't make sense for Machida, since he has a valid chance to get the LHW belt. It also doesn't make sense for Silva or the UFC, since Machida is an extremely tough opponent which almost no name (relatively speaking) and a style that, to say the least, doesn't appeal to most fans. (this sentence was too long, I know) But it would make sense for me... Nate: Nog and Hendo have never been knocked out you say, which is true. Neither has Silva, as far as I know. Correct?

I am still amazed he took out Dan Henderson with his 2nd ever submission. Stunning. And Dan still keeps the title of never being knocked out. The only way to get to Anderson is ground game. Even that is insane though, he earned the Black belt in JJ from another fighter who can also claim the very rare title of not being knocked out: Nogeira (sp?). (Fighters with serious matches under their belt that is.. I havent been knocked out either, but I've never been in a fight) I dont know who can beat Anderson Silva in standup.

The thought of seeing Anderson and Wandy slug it out makes me salivate. its the only opponent out there that has any marketabilty as well as a decent shot at actually taking place in the near future. i would love to see Wandy drop down to 185 as that has been discussed.

I didnt see it on PPV. Duane Ludwig is one of my all time favorite fighters to watch, so I'd love to see him KO Gomi. Not to mention Barnett returning.

I would like to see Dan given a second chance as well. He was 10 seconds from the bell in the second, and he was on top dropping hammer fists in the first until the bell came. I think Silva is the better fighter, but I definitely wouldn't mind seeing a rematch as a co-main event at some point. That said, I've been advocating GSP vs. Silva for a while now. Those 2 styles would make for an extremely exciting fight and has the makings of a true classic. It took GSP and Hughes 3 tries to figure it out Jay, I don’t see why not.

Has that ever happened in MMA? Two champs, working it out to be absolutely clear who's the best. (I know it was clear to most of you, but I think Dan takes at least one of those fights). Meanwhile, UFC can grow some contenders.
