So, yes apparently Silva has signed that 10 fight deal. He is almost 38, crazy bastard.

I hope he never retires or declines.  I hope he fights GSP and then moves up to LHW.  Hey Santa, gimme, gimme, gimme.

There isn't much left for Anderson at MW imo.  Bisping if he gets by Vitor... then Chris and Lombard if they win their next fights... maybe they should be matched up against eachother next to get Anderson his next #1 contender?  Consta is a few fights away.  I think if Bisping wins... it's a must... after that... super fight w/ GSP and a move up.

10 fights is pretty much just a garuntee that he fights for the UFC until he retires

Like hiblet said just because he signs a 10 fight contract doesn't mean he's going to fight 10 more times. I'd say 3-4 fights tops for him. I'd really like to see him fight at 205. I've always wanted to see how he would do against guys like Shogun, Rashad and of course Bones.

I definitely see Silva remaining at a similar skill level into his 40s. I'd buy him doing 10 fights.

Would really be something if Anderson were to actually fulfill this contract.

As long as Silva continues to avoid damage in his fights he could very well fulfill this contract if he wants to. GSP, Jones and Weidman are the fights that could be the worst for him in terms of taking damage...Jones, GSP, Weidman can follow the Sonnen blueprint with more power in their GnP

Bisping is the greatest MW on the planet, and even past the fact I am a huge Bisping fan I still think Weidman would cause 0 damage to Silva. Like quite literally ZERO.

****ping is not the greatest MW on the planet. That title goes to Anderson Silva, then Weidman, and then maybe ****ping.

I won't even get into this argument. Weidman is barely top 10. Nevermind #2.

Weidman would stop ****ping, and give Silva a tough fight, probably finish him. Weidman has the skill set to do it, and most people know this.

People like you are the reason why Weidman is the most overrated fighter in the UFC.

And Bisping doesn't get unwarranted attention due to his big mouth and popularity in one country?

Weidman is starting out his UFC career and I think as time goes by mikelovestacos you will change your opinion. You can't deny the fights he's had up to this point he's been impressive. I think the main reason people give Weidman a better chance then Bisping against Silva is Weidman's style of fighting.

Weidman is going to take Silva down and try to do damage there while Bisping is going to stand with Anderson. Nobody can just stand with Anderson without the threat of a takedown.

@MikeLovesTacos XD
Weidman isn't a top 10 MW? What's your top 10 then?

It's kinda hard for me to think of 10 MW fighters better than Weidman..
