Could Evans get skipped in favor of Silva

With all the talk lately about the Superfight with GSP or Jon Jones, is it likely that if Jones beats Rampage that they set up Jones V Silva, or do you make that fight after the Evans fight if Jones prevails again.

Dana has said that Evans gets Jones-Rampage winner for sure so I expect that to happen. Jones hasn't even had 1 defense yet so it's too early to be talking about a super fight.

If Andy wanted it, sure. He doesn't. He'd rather wait on GSP.

Anderson don't want that fight

Anderson will stay away from the elites of the LHW division, he'd rather slay sheep at MW. Evans has next dibs at the winner of Jones/Jackson

So we're in total agreement that Silva is scared of the LHW elite? I'm glad because I thought I was the only one that thought that.

I'm with you. Why are people asking the "P4P" king , GOAT , Best Eva , lalalala to fight a guy smaller then him? I fell he will maul GSP and what would that prove? He beat a smaller fight?

Let him step up to see what he has. How many other fighter have went a weight class up and won? Why not Spider...

Why not GSP. He's bigger than everybody usually. He fought BJ and got all kinds of accolades for it. Jones is by far the biggest LHW ever. Anderson started his career at 170.

Silva will be waiting on GSP for long time,it seems to me that GSP wants no part of that fight, when someone brings it up he uses his classic deflection tactics. What has Anderson said or done to show that he is not interested in fighting the LHW elite?

So that would be the 3rd time Shad loses his shot in one year?

How about they just give him his damn shot?

Anderson Silva walks around between 215-220
GSP walks around at 190

Not a fair fight at all. People want GSP to fight at 185 when Anderson fighting at 205 is much fairer. Anderson Silva is afraid though of fighting the elite at 205.

I wish Jon Jones would call him out.

Like Jones needs to start calling people out in the toughest division in the sport when he's not even defended the title yet.

I know that he doesn't have to but he didn't have to say that he would fight Evans also.

Thats a little different than calling him out. He said he would figh Evans for the title if it came down to it, he didn't say he wanted to fight him.

There shouldn't be any discussions of superfights with Bones until he defends his title a couple times.

Shad's the #1 contender
Machida's waiting in the wings
And Hendo's about to rejoin the UFC

Silva vs GSP makes sense because both have cleared out there divisions and are the two leading candidates for the P4P crown. Plus GSP has the frame to move up.

Machida and Dan are not the next 2 after Rashad. Rua is ahead of both.

I am in no hurry for a Rua rematch, Bones tapped that ass Oz style.

because he's shown it in the past...

Machida has done nothing to get a title shot. Dan needs to beat either Rampage, Machida or Rua to get a shot.

I can think of 1 fighter that not only has the frame, but has for years told us he will eventually move up in weight. In a couple years he won't even be able to make his current weight. That man's name is Jon Jones.

Henderson is the current Strikeforce LHW champion and he's a marquee name who just knocked out Fedor, he'd get a title shot if he wanted one.

freak hates Henderson for some reason... still shouldn't blind the obvious!

Freak comes from a land where they flush the toilet anti clockwise.
