I think Maia isnt ready yet, he is still a fight or two away. What they could do is have Okami and Maia fight next year for the next shot, eliminate one of them, figure Spider after this shit has to take a mega fight a LHW, or a fight with GSP sometime next year, he wants big fights, and if he really is only gonna fight 5 more times, I’m sorry, but Leites, Maia and Okami, they arent huge fights, all three will be good fights, but I think Chuck, Hendo again, GSP, a LHW title shot, these are the super fights people want to see.

Look, Okami was to get a shot, he got hurt, Cote stepped in, yeah I think they should scrap Okami and Dean and have Okami and Spider, but if Okami wins, he gets next. This will be a solid fight, he did beat Nate, but this event has to be a Spike event, its on London, with the UFC 93 in Dublin on PPV, this one in London and the main event isnt a huge mega fight, with Spiders last fight on PPV ending a way that people didnt like, he is out to prove himself, I think he comes out hard in this fight, dude does have good bjj, he could be a threat to Spider, but he should out strike him and TKO him. So with all that, I would expect to see UFC 95 in London to be the next Spike TV event. It has to be, what other fights are on that card? I thought maybe Huerta would fight on that card, fuck the march card, get Huerta and Fisher on this card, get someone like Cain on this card to fight another HW, get Diego vs Sherk maybe on this shit, put together a nice card and put it on Spike. But we’ll see. I think Spider wins this, but I’m not with everyone else thats like oh this will be so easy, this is a solid fighter he is facing. Okami def gets next shot if he beats Lister. If Okami wasnt fightin in a few weeks, if he was fightin in Jan on one of them cards, they might have gave him a title shot, but he already has been training for Lister, if he wins, figure he will get next title shot.

Andrew – Uhhhh Beavis! It is a legitimate win if you KO or TKO your opponet with hay makers. Liddel gets “stupid lucky” with his crazy over hand punchs. Sometimes swinging wildly is what is needed to beat someone like Silva. Silva will get caught….soon.

I think we need to just skip the foreplay and give Maia a shot, since he’s the only one in that division that has a realistic shot at beating Silva.

If Okami win’s and doesn’t suffer any injuries against Lister, then this should be his shot even though it would be a quick turn around for him. Leites v Palhares /Bisping /Maia/ or the rematch with Nate would all be better fights for him at this point.

I would rather see Maia, Okami, or Marquardt. I think I would even rather see Bisping get a title shot first some one who at least has a conceivable chance. I dont think Liees has faced nearly the competition to fight for the title. Throw him to Jason Mac and win another foght or two against someone please…… Floyd Sword… with all due respect….. pssshh.

I agree with cathedron no one is really going to beat silva eventually someone might get stupid lucky throwing hay makers to beat him but no one will legitamately beat him. He might as well move up and play with the big boys and cause some ruckus in the light heavies.

Everyone important at MW has already been destroyed by Silva. Anyone they get to challenge him is undeserving. Silva needs to move to LHW. There’s no one left in his division that’s a real threat to Silva. Silva’s cleaned out that division… with bleach… You could eat off that division.

Marquardt should have been DQ’d for that illegal knee. Leites was obviously rocked and didn’t look right for the rest of the fight, but he was too proud to quit. Sure, I think knees to the head of downed opponent should be legal, but they aren’t. Them’s the rules and I don’t think Marquardt would have had a chance against Leites without that early knee. Regardless, he deserved the loss.

No thanks. I’d much rather see Marquadt get another shot.
