I'm sick of watching the UFC work so hard to find 185 lbers to fight him. Let him move to 205 and get a title shot. THAT would sell tickets. If they can make the BJ/GSP fight happen, why not let Silva go for the LHW belt? Hell, let him abdicate the MW belt for all I care. It's getting so anti-climactic watching him fight. There isn't a single fight at 185 that excites me. Not unless GSP is willing to move up a weight class. Silva needs some serious competition.

Silva beat Lindland, Mousasi, and Manhoef or Jacare at least before he is annointed this unbeatable god." You say Franklin and Marquardt are overrated but say that Silva needs to fight Manhoef and Jacare?? Geez, at least Rich and Nate are well-rounded and not one-dimensional martial artists fighting in MIXED martial arts. “Let A.

And he proved it was himself. He took Koscheck down at will and was never on his back to Koscheck. I'm not positive but I think Fitch got 1 TD the entire fight and was taken down whenever GSP felt like it. He will take down Alves and hes a much better striker than Koscheck and Koscheck hung with Alves on his feet so he will hang with him there too. GSP dominates Alves gimme -250 on GSP. Also people still talk like Anderson has cleaned out his division when the only guy near the top 5 in my book is Hendo. Franklin is terribly overrated and Hendo will prove that as is Marquardt. Let A. Silva beat Lindland, Mousasi, and Manhoef or Jacare at least before he is annointed this unbeatable god. Even though Mousasi is the best all around fighter of the 4, I think any of the other 3 pose an excellent threat to Anderson and Mousasi slightly less based on his style. ^Exactly – Also GSP PROVED beyond a shadow of a doubt who is the best wrestler (for MMA purposes) at 170.

While I admit Alves is a threat to St. Pierre in some way I think people are going way over board about the guy. Jon Fitch got the KO victory over him but you are telling me that Georges couldnt? I understand he beat Hughes, Karo and Kos but look at that a little closer. He beat Hughes who is past his prime and Alves weighed 174 pounds in that fight. He beat Kary Parisyan who is having anxiety problems so bad no one knows what the hell is going on with him, and he out-struck a pure wrestler. I'm impressed, just not that impressed.

No, just nothing that fun. I think I wrote down 4 things for UFC 90. I have plenty of non-MMA ones but I need a good majority of MMA ones to lead to an article here. “Are the Pros and Cons gone for good?”
