Will Anderson Silva get the light heavy belt?

Question

Do you think he will do it? What fight would you want to see in that weightclass?

Answer 1

NO ithink that he is in the right weight class he steps up and he is out of his league and world class fighter would beat him someone less he could win  but with all due respect.id like to see him fight chuck liddell. He beats him in  at chucks age he could possible be a contender

Answer 2

He's right where he needs to be.

Answer 3

i bet he does. i want to see him slaughter rampage.

Answer 4

No but he will keep the middle weight but for years to come. I would love to see Wanderlei - silva also

Answer 5

I dont think he can beat some of the bigger guys at 205 like Rampage or Forrest Griffin, those guys weigh well over 220 or even 230 and Silva's not that big of a MW. Of course I didnt think he was gonna be Hendo either so, shows what I know.

Like someone else said I think he only has a few super fights at 205, there are some really exciting and big ticket events there (Liddell and Wandy) and you know Dana White loves that stuff and theres big money there.

Answer 6

He won't get the belt. I think he'll do well at 205, but I don't think he can be the champ there. There are too many skilled light heavyweights out there. I don't think he can beat Machida technically. Rampage is too strong for him. Forrest is too tough. Against Shogun it could go either way. He might beat Chuck because of his superior speed, but I think 8 times out of 10, Chuck knocks him out. The only people I see him dominating are ones like Houston Alexander, James Irvin, David Heath, Keith Jardine, Rashad Evans, and other fighters who are GOOD, but not quite championship level.

But on another note, I would love to see Anderson fight Wanderlei. That would be a slugfest for the ages.

Answer 7

I dont think Anderson Silva would even go for the belt because his best mate and training partner Lyoto Machida could be about to dominate the division soon as I think he is now in line for a title shot. I think Silva will have some big fights at LHW such as fights with Chuck Liddell and Wandy but I dont think he would go for the belt.
