What's Silva's Deal

So UFC 112 Invincible. More like UFC 112 why would I pay money for this. With the exception of Edgar's upset over Penn and Grove's fight even though he lost. Anderson Silva could have easily taken Maia out at anytime throught the fight but for some reason opted to play with him for 25 minutes. This had Silva and Leites 2 written all over it, but in my opinion it was worse. Silva likes to counter so if your not attacking him what does that mean? He screws with you and gets booed at the end of his fight for not putting on the show that we all know he could put on.
Dana White was once again pissed at Silva.
So what should happen?
I vote get Silva and Belfort on and if Silva wins he can have a permanent move to 205 or HWT I am not paying for anymore cards with Silva on it if its him and Chael Sonnen or some crap. Only fights I want to see him in rigt now is Marquardt 2 and Vitor.

I disagree.....I really like Sonnens chances stylistically.... He's going to be able to take Silva down when he needs too......Its just a matter of staying out of the submissions..... I guarentee you Sonnen would not have stood there and been disrespected like Maia was..... He'd go get him......Greco Roman wrestlers excellent at the fight game once they are refined, and Sonnen is, he just beat Marquart...... I predict he does better against silva then anyone since Henderson

I have no idea what is gotten into Anderson Silva. I still think he has the ability and capability to be the best fighter in the game today. After his past few fights (playing amateur psychologist here) I wonder if he has the mental toughness to deal with a close fight or any fight that goes more than 3 rounds. His clowning and taunting may be his way of dealing with the pressure. If that is the case, I see Chael winning their upcoming fight.

And if Dana does cut Silva? Then I will be convinced Dana is the next Vince McMahon

I can't help but laugh at the image of Dana White with a microphone in the cage with Anderson Silva: "YOUUUU'RE FIIIIIIRED!"

jake shields is going to be a welterweight. And Shields didnt even win that fight I thin Hendo lost it for himself. He gassed himself throwing bombs through the first round.

I don't know, It could be a MAJOR pain in the @$$ to have to provide health insurance to WWE wrestlers. THink about how many of them die before theyre 50. All the steroids and heart problems that go on in the WWE, not to mention the various traumatic injuries that Im sure occur. Poor Vince would go bankrupt just patching those guys up.

No, Dana says he has to fight Shonnen and Belfort first. Rumor is its Shogun vs Couture. Winner of Rashad vs Rampage is possible also.

We all know what's going to happen with a fight between Sonnen and Silva. Silva's too good to fight at MW and should permanently be at 205.. Think about a fight between Silva and Shogun or Silva and Rashad or Silva and Jon Bones Jones?

Yeah I agree, but thats what Dana said. He is still pissed about the Maia fight.

Why Couture? Whats he done lately that results in him getting a title shot?

That's a great question, there's no way Randy should get a shot over Rampage/Rashad. Bones Jones is almost a better contender than Couture is at this point, I know to some that sounds crazy, but look at the common opponent Brandon Vera. Couture won a decision and Jones knocked him out while dominating the fight..

That's who Shogun wants. And Couture dominated Coleman, Shogun barely beat him. I do think there are better than Couture to put in there but he's my idol so I want him to have another shot.

not sure where you heard that couture thing. there is talk about him fighting some ex pro boxer but i guarantee you he is not getting another title shot in his career. Also I doubt Shogun wants that match because that coleman fight was just to get the ring rust off. The shogun of today could decimate Coleman AND couture.
