How about this?

Thiago Silva vs Gegard Mousasi?

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.

Thiago Silva pulled a bitch move. He needs a fight he will likely lose. A favorable matchup vs a known name is the last thing he should be given. He served his time, but the punishment isn't over.

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

Everyone has a story. Cheating as a professional, especially in a 1 on 1 combat sport, is inexcusable.

He didn't pay his dues in my mind. Obviously just a fan giving my opinion. I'm hoping Thiago gets the worse possible matchup available to him.

wtf are you talking about?! he payed the fines, and did the time required! HE PAYED HIS DUES!!! now if you disagree with the punishment then that's a different story but as of now, he's cleared to fight pending a meeting with the commission

Just like I said, just my opinion as a fan. I think he should be bumped down the latter and he should be given the tough road. His bitch move hurts the integrity of the sport and effects the safety of his opponent. He didn't even turn in his own urine so who knows what kind of shit he was juiced up on? These are just my personal feelings on the subject.

What would you consider just due for him then?

I think I have made my thoughts fairly clear in this thread. I just want the tough road for him. Preferably starting with a fight he will likely lose. If you don't go that route then just stick him on the undercard with as difficult a style matchup as possible. What shouldn't be done is he shouldn't be featured on any card, his name shouldn't even be mentioned on whatever card he ends up on. He shouldn't be given a "name", especially one he matches up favorably with. Obviously these are just my personal feelings on the guy. They can put him SF and have him fight Feijao I suppose, but even that is too good for him. But I think he loses that fight so that would put him where he deserves to be.

by your thinking he wins any fight they send him... think about it, there isn't a wrestler that can beat him, as he ALMOST beat Evans with a fucked up back.

Don't you think Zuffa did the hurting by setting the initial precedence, "fight injured, don't pull out, that would be bad, we'll pay you." The falloff carried over to Thiago I would think some to once again fight injured, anyway he could. He manned up, paid the money, sat the year.

I have a very difficult time swallowing that term in this situation. He used some kind of illegal substance that gave him an advantage in a 1 on 1 combat competition. He paid money, served a suspension, but IMO(who the hell am I?)...he deserves more punishment. Call me crazy, maybe I'm holding too big of a grudge, just my thoughts on the subject.

Krazy with a fucking K!

i hope they don't make a rematch with Vera. Take the NC and run, Vera.

Silva is a good fighter. Still missing that big win though.

wait, ou, arent u a barnett fan.

heeelllll naw, I do not like Barnett. Never have. With the retirement of Brock Lesnar, Barnett is my least favorite HW.

Totally down with Thiago vs Gustaffson in Sweden even though I think it will be Lil Nog instead

Mousassi's first victim.

You really think Mousasi will be allowed to make the jump to the UFC before Gil? I don't.

He would lose to Thiago anyway

Would be a great fight I think. Send Thiago to SF, he would have good fights with any of their big 3.

I think Fejiao would be a great fight. I think he would fit in well at SF, it's not like he has a prayer at UFC gold anyways.

It's settled then Thiago shall do battle with American Psycho !

Can they both juice heading into the fight? Maybe they can turn in the piss from a bald eagle for their test?
