Brilliant card top to bottom. Great to see Tito go out on an epic fight. Shame the main event underwhelmed, but we all know he was gonna end it immediately.
 
There's not much left for Silva. With his accuracy speed and power there no one that can beat him over 2 or 3 fights might get lucky in one.

Time to move up and try and make a legacy but it seems he is happy enough to stay at 185 till he retires
 
Of course he will stay at 185, nobody is calling him out and everyone is scared of him, hes smart because he has made his career as easy for himself as possible.
Shame he can't be forced into fights by the management, would love to see what Jones would do to him at 205.
 
It'd be nice if GSP moved up to 185, he could easy do it as he slowly drops from 190-205 when it comes towards a fight, and if you think a 190lbs Chael is bad, imagine a 200 odd pound GSP, Silva would get nuked. I think though its more fitting for Silva to drop to 170, as there isn't anyone left for him to beat or rematch on MW, whereas GSP still has stuff to do at 170.

Anthony Njokuani... am I the only one who thinks this guys a 155lb Anderson?

Weidman looked very good but Munoz looked very out of shape having been out so long. I can see a possible Weidman - Bisping fight on the cards soon as Bisping is touting for it already.

For a change Middleweight has a few decent prospects which has not been the case for a long time.

Yup. Either Bisping vs Weidman or Bisping vs the winner of Lombard/Boetsch. I'm leaning towards the latter with Weidman getting a shot title first.

Bisping deserves neither of those fights, he is coming off of a loss why should he get a potential number 1 contender fight?

I'm inclined to agree but the talent pool of people who haven't already been spanked by Silva is pretty shallow imo!

I think the fact that Bisping had a decent showing against Chael coupled with the fact that he's still the UK poster boy is good enough to keep him towards the top of the pile!

It was a contestable loss. Dana scored it in Bispings favour for example. But yes judges scores are final. He was meant to be fighting Boetsch anyway before he had knee surgery. It all depends on how quick the turn around for Weidman, Silva, Boetsch and Lombard are. If one picks up an injury it throws the everything into chaos.

Who would you pick? Munoz just lost quite handily. Vitor got front kicked, Okami got schooled. Brian Stann? Chael did a number on him. You could bring Rockhold over from strikeforce, but otherwise that is your top ten.

Weidman is ranked 10th according to Sherdog and is No1 contender, whilst Bisping is 4th. Rankings only mean so of course...
