I'm cool with one, but not both rematches.

MW is weak enough and lacking in legit contenders, Why would you want one of the clear cut top 2 getting elliminated when they have both been quite impressive since their last meetings with Spider.

Cause he has already KO'd one of em in the 1st round while subbing the other in the 2nd. there are some much more interesting fights for Spider at higher weights.

I'm not buying the "they're is a lack of legit contendors therefore Spider should beat up 2 dudes he has already beat up" argument.


Call GSP up or something

Should we not give credence to the words of the manager of one of the all time great fighters in the sport?

Sure...if he's talking about his fighter, outside of that I don't give two shits about what he thinks or says. Besides, he's misquoted Anderson on purpose before so he's a bitch.

I think both Nate and Hendo have a much much better chance then GSP. GSP is going to have to recover from his injury and put on weight before he can challenge Spider. IMO he doesn't have a shot anyways. Nate and Hendo have both stepped it up and deserve another shot.

Its not his job to make matchups though. No one really cares what MW fights the Silva camp wants to see happen. Atleast I don't

I just want to point out this guy really said in two sentences that it's not a manager's job to manage his fighter and that the most successful UFC champion and fighter in history has no say in who he fights.

Food for thought when deciding if you desire to discuss MMA with him any further.

How is he not talking about his fighter when he is talking about his fighter's prospective future matchups?

He's playing matchmaker, why should anyone care about that? Do you think Dana or Joe Silva gives a shit who Ed Soares says should be matched up in the MW division? I don't.

I'd rather see Hendo vs. Marquardt than either one of them against Anderson.

I'd like to see Anderson do his RJJ impression to Mir first.

It's a manager's job to get good fights for his fighter. Ed Soras has done a pretty damn good job so far.

Personally I find it interesting who the Silva camp thinks is a legit matchup. It's a clear sign that Silva has little interest in fighting dudes he has already beat up. I find that interesting as well. I would not at all be surprised if the UFC does listen to the interest's of one of it's truly great fighters, and thus I expect a Nate vs Hendo fight to happen.

I highly doubt that fight will happen because Anderson Silva said it should or Ed Soares said it should.

It may not happen because Anderson or Soares said it. It may happen because it makes sense.

The UFC was really hoping that either Maia or Bisping would win to get Anderson some fresh blood but it didn't work out for them. This makes things much more difficult, the UFC could have been smarter and had Maia fight Bisping but they needed Bisping for TUF. They need to give both guys a shot.
