    Really, I'd put Silva 1, Jones 2, GSP 3.

    As for better opponents for Anderson...who? He couldn't care less about Weidman, who is the most deserving of a title shot. Luke Rockhold would pose an interesting match-up next year, but again, I don't see how Silva would welcome a fight with someone like that (no name).

    Personally, I would love Silva/Bisping, not because he is a threat....but to see it in Britain (if they could roll like that) would be insane.

    Jones is THE match-up to make but that's at least a year away, at best.

    But, if you can make Silva/GSP, put it at Cowboys Stadium and come close to 100k, you do it and don't think twice.

      #1 vs #2 takes precedent over everything else regardless of the stylistic match-up, it's still the best vs the best. I don't think anyone can count GSP out though, he's very explosive and Silva has been taken down and controlled by lesser wrestlers and lesser athletes.

      Silva vs Jones is a much more intriguing fight to me, style wise it would be more exciting, the fighters are the same size, and the outcome is more in doubt.
      Both fights can go either way and Jones and Silva are not the same size.

      If the fight happens, it will smash all records
      The GSP fight would as well, probably even moreso given GSP's popularity in Canada.

      GSP doesn't want the fight. He's never wanted the fight. For years he's ducked the question, and you can see by his body language that he doesn't think it's a great idea. With that said, I think he will be pressured to do it and the fight will happen.
      You can say the exact same about Silva against Bones

        I was referring to Silva/GSP in terms of smashing all records, not Silva/Jones.

        Silva/GSP is the right fight for business, nobody can dispute that, but the better quality fight is Silva/Jones imo.

            Ah. I kinda agree then. The right fight for the sport is to have the clear cut best square off against each other which is definitely GSP vs Silva. From an entertainment standpoint, maybe it's Jones, but that's hard to predict. As good as Jones is, he still seems kinda green to me.

                  GSP/Silva would sell more but is a worthless fight. Any time GSP engages and gets tagged he goes loopy. And1 by murder.

                  Silva/Jones is the only fight I care about from 185-205. No other fight has any meaning to me.

                  170 Diaz and Hendricks are both massively intriguing fights for GSP. Silvas getting older and Jones is becoming more of a bitch. I honestly think that fight will never happen i.e Fedor/Brock ...or when its too late i.e Silva/Liddell.
                  Best reason to have a license.

                    Jones/Silva
                    Hendricks/GSP

                    UFC gets its super fight, Hendricks gets his title shot. Everyone's happy. Except for Jones/Silva but who gives a shit?

                        I know it's impossible, just how I think it should be.
