I think this is more about Soares saying Anderson wants to pursue bigger fights while he's still in his prime, and it's a valid point. If he doesn't fight GSP or Jones soon, then when? Best to strike while the iron is hot.

I would love to see him step up and beat Jones, then defend the title once and go out like a Don. That would be a legacy.

i'm with soars in one aspect. sonnen, cheated and lost then got in trouble outside the ring.... bottom line he still lost and if he wasn't opening up his mouth so much and self promoting the rematch, he wouldn't have even gotten a second glance from dana about a second fight so soon. he needs to fight vitor at the very least.

I don't think he owes it to us to fight Jones. He will be too old for this before long, and if he ever lost, even to Jones, people would talk so much ****.

Chael got stopped. Even without the suspension he should have fougth someone else before rematching Anderson.
You make a good point, Anderson would rather not even **** with chael, mostly because he would be insuferable if he won. I think silva feels about Chael the way i feel: GET THE **** OUT OF HERE, YOU DELUSIONAL OBNOXIOUS *******!! But i do think Silva will beat him again.

1. Why would I give you Chael the satisfaction of stepping inside the cage with me again after being in trouble with mortgage fraud and what was it...anabolic steroids?
2. If Chael didn't run his mouth all the time no one would be paying attention to him. He's Jon Fitch but with a mouth.
I honestly don't think Chael would win this time. Anderson would pick him apart in the stand up and he wouldn't have bruised ribs this time. He wouldn't be looking for the submission but the knockout.
That's how I see it anyways. Beating Brian Stann who is green on the ground shouldn't earn a title shot. He needs to fight once more in my opinion.
