Hendo might make a case for getting caught with the choke and demand a rematch but Silva seemed to be having his way with him in the 2nd round.

The only fighter I think might have a shot is St. Pierre. He cuts really hard to make 170. I think he could give Silva a pretty good test though I think Silva beats him as well.

I was skeptical of Silva before. I am now convinced. He should be #1 in the P4P rankings.

I'm giving you a hard time Taq; I have the utmost respect for Hendo, I think he's still up there as one of the best p4p.

Silva walks at 215+ before fights, perhaps he moves up to LHW.

I think the UFC is going to throw Okami in with Silva next and Silva will walk through him. After that they have no one left. Lindland is not coming back anytime soon and he would get smashed by Spider. I would love to see GSP beat Serra and then Fitch, and next year Superbowl Saturday card have him fight Anderson.

How about Mark Coleman vs Lesnar in Minnesota.

I agree with you on Lindland; I posted earlier that Silva would murder Woogie. At this point, I think Silva wouldn't have any problems with GSP.

Do you think Coleman has anything left in the tank? It looks like he's off the vitamin S; he looked like a scrawny version of Vin Diesel. Lesnar pounds out the originator of the GNP.

There is nobody left to contend with Silva. Maybe if Paulo Filho came up but even then I still think Silva wins and I doubt that match ever happens as they are teammates. Still, Silva would kill Paulo. Paulo has BJ Penn syndrome. When he's on his game he's king. But conditioning seems to be an issue as noted in his last fight with Chael Sonnen who was beating him pretty well until the controversial stoppage.

I have never liked Coleman and his antics. Though his celebrations are classic. I'll take Lesnar by TKO (GNP).

Filho is another guy that seems like he's suffering from vitamin S deficiency; seems to be a common condition with the former Pride fighters. I've heard from someone who trains with Filho, that he has a hard time cutting weight and that he's a natural light heavy. Perhaps that's the reason for his gassing the last few fights.

Coleman is half the size that he was in Pride. I wonder if the odds makers will pony up some money so that he can fix this fight as well.
