#1  It kind of depends on who he fights first.

+2 thumbs upSILVA WILL WIN HIS FIRST FIGHT AT 205 BECAUSE I DONT THINK HE WILL FIGHT A GUY WHO WILL BE A HUGE THREAT.  I THINK HE WILL DO GOOD AT 205 , BUT I DONT THINK HE WILL BE AS DOMINATING AS HE IS RIGHT NOW IN THE OTHER WEIGHT CLASSES. THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH TALENT AT 205. VETERANS AND UPCOMING FIGHTERS ARE REALLY GOOD AT 205. OTHER WEIGHT CLASSES U ONLY HAVE A COUPLE GUYS WHO REALLY STANDOUT, BUT AT 205, THERE ARE A HANDFULL.

+2 thumbs upDo I think Silva would beat Forrest?  No.  It's no fact that he couldn't though.  Forrest has shown that there are no facts in MMA a couple of times now(Shogun, Rampage).  Serra/GSP, Jardine/Liddell, Gonzaga/Cro Cop, Couture/Sylvia, Diaz/Gomi, and Sokoudjou/Nogueira were all "facts" too.  Silva has the striking to put anyone to sleep and he's used to fighting guys that are stronger than him.

Stonger, yes. But the elite fighters in the light heavyweight division are a LOT better than the scrubs that Silva has been fighting at 185. There really aren't any legitimate challengers for him in the middleweight division. LHW, on the other hand, is the strongest division in the UFC, and possibly in all of MMA.

 

I honestly don't think Anderson Silva can MAKE it to a title fight, never mind beat the champ.

+1 thumbs upI wouldn't call Rich Franklin, Dan Henderson, Carlos Newton, Jeremy Horn, and Nate Marquardt "scrubs" but yeah the LHW division is stacked.  I don't think he could make it to a title fight either, I was just saying it wasn't a fact that he couldn't beat Forrest(or any other LHW on a given night).

On a side note, who gets Forrest next?  Rampage rematch or Chuck?
1. yes  2. no
