He really worked Framrock badly, and that guy even at his age is no pushover. I'm not sure he'd make it to the top5 right away (the UFC's MW division is so damn deep) but he will definitely shake things up and probably will enter the top 10 with his first fight, assuming it's against somebody who is already a top10.

I more-less responded to the posts before mine. I have no issue with the guy and am fine with his renewal. Either way my opinion does not count for anything so dont get so bent out of shape with my "top ten rankings" or anyone else's opinion. Thats exactly what it is. Now I will say something else that hopefully doesnt ruffle your feathers..... Cung Le will instantly be a top 5 MW when he comes over to the UFC I wasnt bringing him down as much as I was showing a made-up list of how strong the MW division is.

Take your "he's not top 10 rankings" and shove them up your miserable asses Anyway...glad he is sticking around and good to see a fighter who brings it every time get rewarded.

Bisping will not attain #1 contender status before Silva retires 2. Bisping has a possible loss to Leben, and an almost guaranteed loss to Hendo on the horizon. 3. Silva will get bored sooner than later and make his jump to LHW. Not to hijack the topic.... MacDonald is an exciting fighter but not a top 10, not close I would be very surprised to see Spider and Bisping ever meeting in the Octagon.

I expect Silva to fight Cote than Okami than potentially Michael Bisping followed up with a super fight against GSP or top level Light Heavyweight fighter (Silva, Rampage, Liddell, or even Evans/Griffin).

The only time I remember him getting completely mauled was against Franklin (and who could honestly blame him). Macdonald is steadily getting better and better and I look forward to seeing him again soon. The one thing I'd like to see from him is more confidence on his feet; especially at 6' 3".

MacDonald isn't top-10, and may never get there, but the guy never backs down and always shows up to fight. I liken him to Chris Lytle; a perennial gatekeeper that will always have fights fun to watch, win or lose. Like everyone else, I’m really glad to see this news.

Jason is very talented and puts a lot of heart into every single bout. It's not always about winning and losing in the UFC. When you fight with heart and put on a good enough show consistently, you'll always because welcomed back. Winning is still a big part of it too as well but Joe Silva loves it when fighter's come to fight and perform well in doing so. i agree with all the statement’s made.
