      Don't get me wrong Sonnen has done well, but the champion is No.1 and after that you're either the challenger, up & coming or on the way out… Sonnen is no longer in the first two categories regardless of where you rank him.  I reckon Silva will be beaten by time and probably just retire, what do you think?

        Not very easy to say, I can't really see anyone taking him on realistically at this point. There is talk about a mathcup with both Diaz and GSP at a catchweight, and I can see both those fights go either way, especially GSP which stylistically is similar to Sonnen, but also has amazing GnP. Not sure if Diaz would fare as well though, he is a great striker, but relies on volume, rather than solid single hits, and may face some very harsh counter punching. So of those two matchup, I think the only realistic one is GSP.

        I have heard some rumors about Alexander Gustavson dropping down a weight class and giving it a go, but I think he would run out of time with fighting other contenders before Silva retires..

        Other than that.. Hm, Gegard Mousasi would be a candidate when he is done doing boxing in the olympics, he is amaizing on his feet with pin point accuracy and really heavy hands and he fights well off his back, but I suspect Silvas bjj might prove to bee a few notches too good if Silva takes him down.

        Seize the day and don't you cry.

                                  Jon Jones is officially a bitch! Hendo is out, Jones refused to fight Sonnen so they had to cancel the whole event. What a joke of a champion!

                                        Depends which GSP shows up, the boring one we saw before he got hurt or the one we saw before he won the title. I much prefer the old GSP to the Jon Fitch-esque one of recent memory.

                                          ahh georges the most amazing and talented boring fighter
                                          he was so exciting to watch before he lost to matt seirra
                                          nows hes just so damn conservative
                                          onces hes undoubtably gonna win on the score cards he goes into cruise control
                                          not that he puts it all out there in the first place
                                          but we all know how this fight plays out
                                          condit on his back for the majority of 5 rounds
