Thiago Silva is now free to re-apply for his license

Cool. Get him back fighting.

I wish it was Silva facing Rampage in Japan.

Give him Gustafsson.

Hmm maybe but I'd rather see Silva vs. American Psycho.

Why? Gus is what Thiago deserves. A name still not known to most, but a dangerous fighter. I'd favor Gus.

Erm because it'll be a sick fight.

But Gustafsson wouldn't be a sick fight? It would be a more difficult matchup and one that Thiago probably loses. Which is what he deserves. Everyone wins.

It's a tricky fight for him but certainly winnable.

And everyone won't win especially me because I like his fighting style and throat slit.

Welcome back. Please give him Vera again

yes, give him Vera so he could send him packing for the second time

Exactly

That would be awesome. Would Vera want it, probably not, but he would be too afraid to do say it.

Oh yeah, the only answer Vera could/would give is "I deserve a fair fight". He already called out Thiago after he was cut and before he was brought back.

His arm is in 4 pieces still isn't it, when he lost to Marshall?

All these fights recently, that totally slipped my mind. But in all seriousness, Thiago shouldn't have to waste his time on Vera.

I like Thiago/Bonnar. Stephan is due for a bigger name than he's been fighting recently and Silva has 1 fight in the last 2 years

Thiago shouldn't be given a fight he is favored in IMO. He doesn't deserve it.

I wouldn't complain about a Machida rematch. Though a lot might consider that illogical in terms of their activity, I think it might be good.

Why wouldn't he deserve it? And why would he deserve a fight against a top level guy, the only ones who are going to be favored over him

How about this?

Thiago Silva vs Gegard Mousasi?

Exactly why Gus is a perfect candidate. Someone who would likely be a slight favorite over Thaigo right now without the reward of a big name. Thiago was punished, he did his time, but he pulled a bitch move, he needs to earn his next UFC win. If Phil Davis loses to Rashad he would be another good person to teach Thiago a lesson.

Too good for Thiago, he doesn't deserve it. Same for like Rich Franklin. Good matchup, but Thiago doesn't deserve it. He also matches up well vs Forrest, but again, he doesn't deserve the chance to put that win on his resume at the moment.

Now you've lost me. Silva even with the year off is generally considered top ten talent universally.

Dude has a family to provide for and had a fucked up back and couldn't afford to pull out of another fight. That's life. He did his time
