Pretty much what I thought. I think Bisping takes the fight and gets himself the title shot. If Anderson Silva is still a middleweight then it should be a great fight. If Silva surrenders the belt to fight at 205 full time, maybe Maia fight the winner for the vacant title?

Not surprised, especially after what happened in Silva's last title defense. THE UFC wants to promote him as the best PFP in the world and him havn borng fight because he's not willing to go the ground with world class jiu jitsu guys and they aren willing to trade with him. Dana wants to put somone up against him whos willing to stand and bang. Either Bisping or Hendo will provide that. I think Bisping woud be plain outclassed standing up and I dont think he has enough of a sub game to be much of a hreat to Silva there either. Hendo, on the other hand, has a deeper game and has a skill set to seriousy threaten Silva. His Greco skills can neutralize Silvas clinch and he has the wresting and ground and pound skills to really hurt Silva on the ground. Plus, he's got that big overhand right that can end a fight at any time. Remember, Hendo won the first round of his fight against Silva and was doing well before making a mistake and getting subbed at the end of the second.

This is how it should be really. I don't think Maia beats Nate anyway.

Sorry, I see no way in heck that Bisping beat Hendo. Maybe if he catches a lucky shot, but Hendo is light years better on the ground and has better standup. If Rampage couldn't KO Hendo, IDK how Bispings going to do it. I really think that if anyone can beat Anderson at MW it is Hendo. He didn't have a great performance in the first fight. He actually did good in the first round, I think he will actually fair better in the 2nd fight. I didn't think he had the best plan of attack in the first match.

Okami still needs to get his title shot and I don't think Maia can beat Nate either.

Yes you are.

Nate = great.

Maia = no nickname.

Therefore, Nate > Maia.
