Tito got destroyed the last time they fought and it would happen again. Also don't want to see NAchida get beat by Chuck just yet, he needs more time to build his resume. Evans or Thiago Silva would be nice. UFC would prob do Evans b/c of the name recognition with the TUF fans. Thiago Silva vs. Chuck would be a GREAT fight IMO.

Grapplers haven't done very well against Chuck--Couture and Bobbaloo are examples, and possibly Tito, depending on how you characterize his style. Chuck's always been most vulnerable to a striker. Hell, I'd pay money to watch Chuck fight about anyone, but Rashad doesn't have much excitement for me. I don’t know about a Rashad/Liddell fight.

I think they should do this because if Tito is in fact on his way out. It wouldn't be good for J. Silva/White if Tito were to defeat Lyoto. Tito could then fight Rashad instead. So, in this case, it makes sense. Only time will tell us what will happen next. It just suck's that Shogun got injured. I was really looking forward to that fight. Anyways, Chuck's possible oppenets seem to be...Hendo, Machida, Evans and Thiago Silva. Rogerio Nogueira and Ricardo Arona aren't in the UFC yet so I'll have to take them off the list.

I don't think he took that much punishment against Silva, and he is already in fighting shape. He is also a top caliber fighter that is worthy of fighting Chuck. It could be a great chance for Hendo to redeem himself after 2 straight loses. I think that a good replacement for Shogun would be Dan Henderson.

If his walking around weight is roughly 195-200 lbs., he should either stay at MW or fight LHW at his walking weight. At 205, he clearly got gassed in his bout with Rampage. He just didn't look comfortable at that weight, in my opinion, but at his walking weight and in fighting shape, there is not doubt in my mind he could hang with any of the current stable of LHW's. With the pickings being as slim as they are with elite guys at MW, I would really like to see a rematch with Hendo v. Silva after Silva fights Okami. Hendo's versatility could make him a commodity in the UFC. I would prefer Hendo staying in the MW division.

He is 1-2 in those fight's, losing to Rampage and Spider Silva who are #1 at 205 and 185. Hendo is still one of the best fighter's on this planet, plain and simple. Sherdog's FightFinder is a good source to look a fighter's record. Everyone who is new to MMA should be made aware of that. It's a great tool. I'd like to see Dan go to LHW and stay there. 185 would be fine also. 205 seem's like a better place for him, IMO.
