But regardless im glad to see him back and fighting again and all the luck in the world to him [/quote] True, but Tanner is better in the clinch then Franklin. Even though he lost to Rich, I think he matches up better with Silva. Tanner has some good knees and brutal GnP, which has won him many of fights.

The UFC needs him to succeed and progress, and a fight with Tanner is not likely to advance his career. Both of them will get relatively easy opponents for their first fight at 185.[/quote] You never know. A loss by Bisping to Tanner, a former champion, wouldnt hurt his career. As long as he puts up a good fight. They put Forrest against Tito after only three fights, and it didnt hurt his career even though he lost (kinda). [quote comment="235458"]Who actually thinks this washup is gonna be able to come even close to anderson silva.... silva is next level right now and the middle weight is trying to catch up to his talent.... he's untouchable until they bring someone who can come close[/quote] When are people gonna learn that no one in MMA is untouchable.No one saw the downfall of Chuck, Cro Cop, or St. Pierre coming, but it happened. Im a huge Silva fan but his star will fall evantually and its most likely going to be against an underdog (just look at recent UFC history). Styles make fights and Tanner is a tough vetran who can take a beating and dish one out. [quote comment=”235390″]They aren’t going to do that to Bisping.
