I remember it was being debated because he passed the follow up screening, but cant remember if he was suspened/tossed from the UFC. Should be a great fight.... Hope he can control Silva.

Ok, kid, keep tuning in to Spike and watching TUF and believe the hype that Dana spews out of his hole. On The Spider, he hasnt really lost a fight in over 2 years. Chonan did submit him, but then again it's Chonan. I think he is one hell of a fighter, but just because you've seen him in two fights (MoreThanUFC!!), dont think he cant be beat. http://www.dailymotion.com/visited/search/anderson+silva/video/x8buh_ryo-chonan-vs-anderson-silva Silva has a ton of weaknesses due to his body type. Weak legs, weak hand power, a very questionable chin, and poor full guard defense against the GnP. It's just that the weak competition he has faced so far hasn't been able to capitalize on them. Yes, weak. Leben is about as overrated as a fighter can be, and Franklin, as I've said before, may be great one day, but never was the fighter the UFC made him out to be. Do I think Silva is worthy of his title, oh yes. Do I think he is the best in the UFC at 185 right now, hell yes. Do I think Marquardt will win? Mosdef.
