sickdarce Member Since: 6/10/09 Posts: 2720	You guys are giving him too much credit, I am certain that its not his decision who fights who. I am sure he has input and might even gather possible match ups but there is alot that goes into it. You have ignored this user.

he probably makes the cards.. but with Jones-Sonnen i think he was influenced by Fox to make them coaches for TUF 17.

Its actually a really good strategy... look at how everyone is enjoying the show too...

I think some of the other "mismatches" are simply Joe Silva giving certain fighters who want a step up in competition, a step up in competition. That, and injuries.

Agreed. Silva is a great guy, I love how he is the first one in the cage to shake the winners hand. Phone Post

I always thought when the running in the cage to shake the winner's hand was his way of getting his face out there and taking credit for "making" such a great fight happen.

but maybe that's just my biased perspective.

NorthFromHere 245 Member Since: 1/4/07 Posts: 14409 MMAViking.com	Joe Silva is doing a fine job imo. However Sean Shelby should step up his game when it comes to signing new fighters to 125,135 and 145. Especially FW is getting a bit boring with same old faces and ex-155ers.
