i don't think Bones vs Silva will ever happen
 
Imagine if Silva beats Diaz, then Weidman, then Bones :eek

Weidman has had Silva's number twice. Nothing would be different the third go around unless Anderson has gotten some amazing wrestling defense.

JBJ just abused a former Olympian after a coco filled December. Jon has a huge reach advantage and very good wrestling.

Honestly, I respect Anderon's legacy. But at this point I'm more interested in the murderers row in front of Weidman.

Admittedly, he's had some bad injuries. But Evans, Cruz, GSP (despite retiring), Velazquez, Rousey And others are in the same boat. MMA is a rough sport. Prior to the Porier fight, Connor came back from a bad injury.
 
Aldo v McGregor is being pushed back from the proposed May date to sometime later in the summer according to McGregor's coach. I guess they put the fight on the 4th of July card.
 
also rockhold and jacare are the only guys that have a shot at the title imo. i think rockhold will be the champ for awhile

Jesus, I'm mad lol. But it makes sense money wise

I've always held Rockhold in high esteem but there is absolutely zero that makes me believe he'll be champ for a long time or if at all
 
rockhold's a huge mw, he's a lot more athletic than a lot of guys in the ufc, he's in the prime of his career, his only recent loss was to super vitor (though it was a bad one), and he doesn't have too many holes. i don't see him having any issues with machida. not sure how he'd do against weidman

Yeah Weidman is actually who I'm most concerned with. Weidman is also a huge MW, he's the definition of a bully. His striking is always evolving too

I will wait to see how Rockhold does against Machida but IMO it'll be tough for Rockhold to be "champ for a while" when you have Weidman sitting on the throne
 
 
anderson will ko diaz imo 
Easily, its gonna look like Forrest fight, im predicting multiple knockdowns cuz diaz is a tough mofo

Oh and Weidman beats all of the middleweights. Dude is too well rounded and alot more athletic than ppl think. And he's only getting better
 
I will give Nick enough credit not to get KO'd. He is one tough SOB

He's only been KO'd once and that was at the start of his career

The combo of Anderson being away and Nick being tough as nails leads me to believe he'll survive to a decision at least

I like Rockhold but i don't see where he beats Machida.

He has a serious standup game, and i mean he can cover distance well, throw a variety of strikes, etc. Machida would have to put him away to win imo. I don't see him being able to win a decision against Rockhold. 

Rockhold also very good in transition and if he can put pressure on machida he will take it
 
They should just do Shogun vs Silva either at 185, 205, or even 195. Don't wanna see Silva v Weidman 3. But if by chance Belfort shocks everyone and wins, I wouldn't be opposed to Silva v Belfort 2.
