But that challenge now goes to Hendo. Hope he gets a fight with Marquardt or maybe even Gouivea Wanderlei would have been a good opponent to test out how good Bisping really is.

He's 32 for christs sake. He's had a few losses. But look at who he's lost to. No one in MMA history has a tougher schedule than Silva. If he moves to MW, he'll have no problem making weight and I think it's going to be a brutal parade of fights on his way to a title shot. Why do people say that Wandy is old?

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 00:56:51 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=11450#comment-65446 Trust me, this will be just fine for him.. I've been waiting for him to go MW since he got to the UFC, especially after he lost to Chuck.. This is the best possible choice he could make in his career right now.. he should've done it before he fought Jardine.. oh well, now's better than never.. They should give him a given for his first bout at MW though.. Trust me, this will be just fine for him..

LHW is too stacked. MW is anything but stacked. I see him throwing beat downs on everyone except Hendo, Franklin, and Silva. Hendo and Franklin would be competitive, but I do not see anyone in the foreseeable future even posing a challenge to Silva. I think it will be good for him. LHW is too stacked.

I'm sorry but that makes no sense. This is a great move for the UFC and Silva. I just hope he starts thinking while he is in the cage. I have seen the circuit training that he goes through and it is impressive. But i would like to see him use that great cardio in the cage. Possibly coming out with some patience and looking to slowly pick his opponent apart. Silva can not beat Rich Franklin or Anderson Silva until he starts respecting other fighters abilities and punching power. To old to go down in weight? I’m sorry but that makes no sense.
