Why would Anderson Silva damage his reputation by getting humiliated by Jones at LHW when he can claim to be the no. 1 pound for pound by only defeating Chael Sonnen and staying as a middleweight?

Nobody wants to fight Jones at the moment, apart from Dan Hendo who is 41 years old and has nothing to lose.

Yeah i know that but id like if the fans pushed for the fight as they have done with Silva vs GSP. Would love to start seeing super fights, these 3 guys are just going to dominate their weight divisions and it will get boring untill they pass their peaks and eventually get beaten by someone who would never of beat them in their prime. I would like to find out who really is the best pound for pound fighter.

I think Jones is the no. 1 pound for pound :D and im not a fan really.

Something like Jon Jones vs. Junior Dos Santos would be more appropriate since they're almost of the same size if Jones move to HW.

Anderson Silva is at the end of his career, even someone like Chael Sonnen has a chance to defeat him.

Yeah Jon Jones is a big guy, i'm not sure if he has the chin to take punches as lethal as Junior's. I noticed in some of Jones fights that when he has been hit he has been rocked a bit.. just a bit though :D

Silva is in his last couple of fights of his career, and a legendary big man will most of the time always win against a legendary smaller man. Just like Dos santos would sweep the floor with jones at HW.

Jones is awesome, but most of the MMA fans have short memory. He might be the greatest pound for pound right now but there are a few fighters that were better than him at their prime, anderson included.

FORZA Hendo, i hope he wins via hole in the head.

Unam to Franklin. Cool deal, wonder if this means Ace makes a "comeback" or does he just go in the cupboard until Dana needs him?

Wanderlei should have finished the fight in the 2nd but gassed and let Rich "cool school" box his way to victory.


Rich says he doesn't remember the fight from the 2nd round.:lol:

Rich is hilarious.

Love Rich and Wanderlei :D

Where would you rank Fedor amongst the best MMA fighters ever? Not seeing him fight in the UFC will always annoy me and i don't know how to judge him.

Though at the time Fedor was dominant, the UFC heavyweight division wasn't what it is today.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Tim Sylvia was champ.
