Should wanderlei silva drop to 185?

Question

or do you think it all depends on his fight with keith jardine

Answer 1

yes, he was on steroids.  That's why he got to 225.  Look at him weigh in.  He's small.

Answer 2

I think he should regardless of the outcome of the jardine fight. He would probably run threw people at 185.  If he loses again who knows if the UFC will still want to keep him.  Crocop lost 2 times and that was it.

Answer 3

nope, i don't think that he should go down, Wanderlei Silva is a legit Light heavyweight (205) fighter, he was an invincible champ in pride until his defeat in the hands of Dan Henderson. But here's the case, Wanderlei Silva can beat any guy any day as long he plays his cards right, he is still in the mix. Quinton "rampage" Jackson got a beating from the Axe murderer which is a great reason for him to stay in light heavy, Chuck beat him, give chuck the credit but chuck was defeated by keith jardine doesn't mean chuck has to go down middleweight, and if Wandy beats "the dean of mean" Keith Jardine then he's definitely in the mix. If he loses then there might be a good chance that he might go down in middle weight, its not bad but Wanderlei deserves the chance to fight every great fighter in the light heavies since he's a former champ. His aggressive style is a very good match up to Fighters like Sokoudjou, Lyoto Machida, Chuck Liddell, Houston Alexander etc. Middleweight is an option if he struggles with the big guys at light heavies but i don't think he'll struggle, its a challenge for Wanderlei, and i think he'll do good in the light heavyweight division.

Answer 4

YES     Right now the best chance at getting a good fight for Anderson Silva is to have top 205 guys drop down.

All this talk that GSP should come up to fight him is crazy.

Answer 5

i would like to see how he does against a few more 205 lbs before I see him drop wiehgt , but he is sorta short for the UFC guys at 205, he could beat Liddell because he couldnt get close enough to land those powerful strikes and knees, but i think he'll

do well against Jardine and get right back in the thick of things.
