Thiago "No Nickname" Silva - What's next?

The guy that almost KO's Rashad Evans with three herniated disks in his back is back and healthy. He did exactly what we all I thought he was going to do to Vera short of KOing his ass. He even went old school with the open handed strikes. Well not everyone appreciated that performance:

Wow that slapping was so disrespectful.. id love to give him a slap in the face

Orly?

Here is what I'd like for Silva though.

Fight the loser of Bader/Jones or the winner of Franklin/Griffin.

Hopefully that works out to Bones, becuase Vera was the disrespectful one for running his mouf then turtleing the fuck up!

The Franklin-Forrest winner would be perfect. If Thiago's back is good to go he will prove to be a force in the division. That's one of the meanest mother fuckers I've ever seen in a cage before


Sherdog had the interesting idea of Silva-Phil Davis as a first step up for Mr. Wonderful and would be a quality win over a good grappler for Silva

Rampage but Page is probably above him after beating Machida

Wouldn't be surprised at the Nog/Tito winner, so Nog.

Bader/Jones loser is solid

Franklin/Forrest winner is good, but think they'd be like a fight away from the Title at that point in Dana's eyes.

He might get someone like Phil Davis

And on a side note/story, open hand strikes can fuck you up.

Buddy's bachelor party right, there is always that one dude who is bigger and gets the liquid courage, in this case jack assery. He's getting in peoples face trying to act hard, he doesn't know everyone, just the grooms work buddy. He even gets in the grooms face at one point. Now my boy is about 5'6" 155 pound fire ball. He tells the dude not to talk to him like that again, "Or what? Ha ha ha" dude says. Groom tells my boy "sure man, don't kill him." Dude doesn't know my lil bud is a wrecker. the first swing is my boy open palming the dude right on the ear. It fucks him up bad and he gets his ass whooped for another 3 or 4 punches til he's KO'd cold. He wakes up crying and bitching but he doesn't want to fight anyone, his ear is fucked up. Last I heard his ear was still fucked up about 2 weeks later. My buddy thought he was gonna press charges or worse, but it wasn't like that. The dude actually apologized to everyone. But the open palm destroyed him.

Mr Wonderful vs the Thiago would be nuts

I doubt he get's Davis. From Boetsch to Silva is a big jump.

I think Nog or Franklin Gump winner.

Jones would fuck Silva up.
