He is the only person in the MW division that can beat Anderson. Nobody else in the MW division can beat Hendo IMO. Don't get me wrong, I like Rich but if he fights Hendo it will probablly be his last fight in the UFC. I think in the second or third round Hendo would eventually overwhelm him winning by TKO. Now that Hendo has been in the cage with Anderson, I think he'll be better prepared this time if a 2nd fight happens. Anderson Silva is the most technichal fighter in MMA and if you have the smallest hole in your game he will exploit it. You can't leave anything out when you prepare for the spider because eventually he will find your weakness. Hendo should have won that fight.

Thiago Silva is getting closer in LHW. Probably next year. I just love how when a fighter begins to explain himself or say something about why they lost, legions of people flood in here screaming "stop making excuses" etc etc. It's so frigg'in predictable. Often dudes go into fights with something wrong. They don't say anything about it if they win, but often if they lose, they'll explain why they think it happened. I get tired of people jumping on that particular band-wagon. Of course for any fighter, the talking needs to be done in the cage. Okami gets one probably. Thiago Silva is getting closer in LHW.

He contained Henderson in the first round, avoiding getting GnPd and thats why Dan couldnt finish the fight. In the second he knew what he had to do to avoid a takedown by Henderson, which he did, kept the fight standing and caught Henderson with knees as he has done with all his opponents. Henderson tried to fight his fight but couldnt because he was inferior that Silva, so thats why he wasnt himself. He wasnt his usual self because Silva didnt let him be his usual self.

McDonald has all the skill and talent in the world but he is SOFT! IMO, he lacks toughness and heart needed to take his game to the next level....Its a shame Heart and toughness are aspects that you cant really learn...U either got it or you dont, IMO McDonald.....DONT!!!

Franklin would eat Bisping for lunch. How does anyone think that Bisping (who hasn't fought ANY top 10 fighters) can simply drop a weight class and suddenly compete with the top 5's in middleweight. Sorry, he has a ways to go still. I’ll say it again. Franklin would eat Bisping for lunch.

The way I see it, Hendo and Franklin will be the fight for the number 1 contender? Anyone have any other ideas as to who else he would have to beat? And for the love of God, don't anyone throw Bisping's name in the hat yet! But how much working up will the UFC want him to do.
