With the knock out loss to Vitor Belfort , Michael Bisping lost the chance to face Anderson Silva and hence embolou the middleweight category (up to 84kg) UFC. Now, they appear as leading candidates are the very Belfort, Chris Weidman , Luke Rockhold and Rashad Evans , who is heavyweight (up to 93kg), but has said he would come down in weight if it were to face the Spider. The business owner's belt, Jorge "Joinha" Guimarães, reviewed the names and showed preference for Rockhold, Strikeforce middleweight champion and you just move to the UFC from other athletes extinct event:

- All of these are accredited, but we'd like a fight against Luke Rockhold is, what is the current Strikeforce champion. He is accredited to fight Anderson. It would be champion against champion. It's a good fight to promote - told SPORTV.COM.

He has won 5 fights in the UFC and only two were even impressive. He needs more time . Fight with Rockhold makes sense You have ignored this user.

arnanderson Member Since: 12/20/11 Posts: 739	meh. I can't bother to care anymore. I think Weidman is the better matchup, but whatever, champion vs champion works and Weidman will eventually get his shot. And likely win IMO You have ignored this user.

I was gonna say how terrible I thought this fight was, but it seems like the general consensus is it's a fight the public wants.

I look at Silva the way I did RJJ in his prime. I'm not interested in his fights because I know they're not gonna be competitive. The difference was I was younger when RJJ was killing it so I still bought the fights. With Silva I've missed some.

The Silva vs Jones fight is the only one that really excites me. Would be the best/biggest fight in MMA ever. (of all TIMESSS if you will)

He needs more time . Fight with Rockhold makes sense

and how many fights in the ufc has rockhold won?

Same as Melendez

Hahaha - I love the delusion that beating on scrubs in the minor leagues is a greater achievement than 5 consecutive wins in the UFC.

W.T.F. - delusional.

in_different 9 Member Since: 1/20/12 Posts: 1462	I just wish Rockhold had called out Silva right away. Doesn't seem like he has the confidence in himself for Silva. I wonder if he accepts or would rather give himself more time to train You have ignored this user.

UGCTT_FryedTakayama 583 Member Since: 9/28/10 Posts: 13819	Ariel tweeted like an hour ago that they're working on Rockhold vs Belfort. I'd rather see Silva vs Weidman and then if Rockhold gets past Belfort then he can fight winner of Silva/Weidman. You have ignored this user.

Sourire 43 Member Since: 10/15/10 Posts: 175	I hope one day the UFC comes out with a public list of rankings. I think there's still under 500 fighters under contract, but maybe giving fighters an ELO rating in a couple of years if the UFC gets even bigger could be a good thing for the sport.
