Silva's win was really amazing, no matter how you slice it. However, his next fight at 205 (if he decides to do it again) will definitely be against a big name. The only problem is that Silva strongly believes Machida deserves a title shot and probably won't get in the way of Lyoto's title shot. And unfortunately, it only makes sense for Silva to fight at 205 for a title shot at this point.

Seriously, the guy has a single win over Houston Alexander in the last year and that lasted 8 seconds. Now he's thrown in against Silva? Its a good tuneup for Silva, but if you're going for the P4P title, you got to be fighting top5 guys. Irwin is middle of the road at BEST.

I couldn't help but notice the fckn empire state building sticking out of his shorts. Again it was a joke, I guess you have no sense of humor as well. Personally I am comfortable enough with my sexuality to make a joke about another mans penis. I can watch Oz and it doesn't bother me. If it bothers you then you are the one with the problem. Anyway, you know Irvin had to get naked before the weigh in. I bet he was mentally broken just knowing Silva had about six or seven inches on him. I wasn’t staring at anything.

All I said was that the extra 20 pounds went strait to his cock. It was posted in good humor and from the responses I got people got a kick out of it. Then I called him Long Dong Silva. They deleted my thread and banned me. What a bunch of prudes! So I just got banned from Sherdog for making a joke about Anderson Silva’s package the other night.

James Irvin is a pretty bad ass striker, and is definitely better than most organizations even come close to having, it just so happens he's middle of the road in the UFC, and when you put him up against a god damn monster like Silva... yeah no shit he's gonna lose.

Seriously, beating James Irwin DOES NOT cement your status as the No.1 P4P fighter in the world.

I get what you're saying but that was just play time. The work went into the actual training. 97 Seconds of actual combat? I know you're talking about two of the main fights and I love the writing on here but seriously come on dude. Some of us fans like the undercard fights as well. #1 “that’s $8333 per second of work.”

This is the first time I agree with the ranking order of the top 4 pound-for-pound fighters. What's next for Silva? 205 is the only worthy road for him right now. Fedor's next fight will be interesting. I guess Barnett will be next, but I'd rather him fight Arlovski just to see how Fedor handles a large, athletic heavyweight. Silvia was good, but his arsenal is predictable and limited. Good catch, Nate. This is the first time I agree with the ranking order of the top 4 pound-for-pound fighters.

And he wanted to ruffle the feathers of everyone's pound for pound best fighter lists. I think his eyes sparkled a little extra thinking of how Sam in particular would have to change his PvP best fighter rankings. Fedor showed who was the daddy in the HW division.

As I looked at him waiting for the bell, I could envision him thinking "Man, I hope the guys in the back don't hate me for delaying the poker game in the back." Then again, that's his usual composure. He showed up for work, worked, and got paid. I can only imagine how much he got paid per second of actual work. if he racks in about $300,000 for show and purse, that's $8333 per second of work. I just can't remember if California discloses fighter salaries like Nevada does. As for Anderson Silva, he is the happiest man in the world when he wins. He plays a better air guitar with the belt than Hollywood Hulk Hogan at the original inception of the nWo. Fedor looked almost bored.
