Could Rashad hang with spider? who else?

Rashad is willing to move down to mw from what I hear.

Thoughts?

Also who else could give it a go?

bisping
boetch
lombard
gsp


He wont move up to fight jones and we all know jones cant make 85 so back to reality.

I say rashad or lombard have the best chance imo. Hoping rashad makes it happen.

I remember saying years ago, before Rashad ever won the LHW Championship, that I thought Anderson vs Rashad was an interesting fight. But that was also before Rashad-Machida and Rashad used a whole lot of movement in his fights.

i'd love to see shad drop down, i really think he belongs at MW as he's a much smaller LHW than most of his opponents. i also want to see Vitor get another crack at Andy...

I want Machida and Shad to jump down to MW to make a run at Andy. We all know Machida won't though.

Machida wont, but Anderson wont aswell.

I realized something.. Anderson is "friends" with anyone that could beat him.

I have been seeing stuff about Mark Munoz being ready to fight Anderson next.

Munoz has trained with Anderson at Blackhouse before, and I have seen youtube clips with both of them diggin eachother. All buddy buddy and shit.

So why isnt Anderson putting a stop to this talk of Munoz fighting him by saying he respects Munoz too much to fight him, and that they are friends..?

Because he knows he can beat Munoz.

Dana needs to force Anderson to take his pick between Machida, Rashad, and Jones.

People can hate that all they want, but until I see Anderson break some of these sudden friendships he has, I will not call him the GOAT.

No balls with Machida and Jon Jones for playing the friend game aswell. Except in Machidas case they are with the same team.

Youre thinking too hard dude. Lol means nothing here. Shad is either a nice guy and just puts Lol in stuff because he is a happy dude and its how he texts, or he is nervous, and Lol takes the edge off of a serious topic that he could be told to shut the hell up about.

Evans wants to make as close to Anderson Silva money as he can. This is how. Sonnen brought out the PPV buy beast that has been hiding in Silva. It was part of Sonnen's defeat in the end and back fired. Sonnen was doing all the talking doing all the interviews, acting out his skit yada yada. Come about a week before the fight and he is on Silva's mind and Silva speaks his mind, figuratively, and boom, this event's hype takes a turn. It's news and people are talking. The card went from big to huge, fitting of the "Biggest fight in UFC History" label and people are actually listening to that message. People weren't talking about just Sonnen anymore, this fight and hype passed him by last week and he began to show it. He was totally ghosted in the presser and weigh-ins. He knew it was all coming down, he was good enough to beat Silva but wasn't tough enough and he knew all that talk was gonna be useless when he had to preform. He failed and I think it was partly his own doing. He made some money though, closest to Anderson Silva money he can get, but he brought, or brought back if you wanna call it that I guess, Anderson Silva in a sense. Too much for him, he probably had a mini hot flash then breakdown sometime Saturday before the fight . But good for the next guy that fights Silva. It will of course be someone already of good to marginal name value, it will sell a strong number of PPVs. Silva and Reshad would do well.

Shad definitely has the tools and athleticism to make it interesting.
