UFC 148 - Silva v. Sonnen 2 - July 7

[TheShizNo1]

I wanna see Silva win and retire. I want to say I got to see the absolute best p4p fighter the sport has ever seen.

The fan in me wants him to continue beating down people though. I don't think we're going to see an ultra-aggressive Silva next week, but I do expect him to win impressively. I can't even imagine the **** Sonnen would talk in the post fight interview if he manages to come out on top.

I doubt it. Dana is going to throw so much money at him to get him to fight Jones he won't be able to say no.

If Jones Silva ever came to be.... the world might end.

Jones vs. Silva would probably make my head explode, but neither Anderson, Jones or Dana have really seemed all that warm to the idea when it's been spoken about in the past. I guess we'll see how things have changed if they both win their next fights. The hype for that one would be amazing.

I have no doubt in my mind that if Silva vs. Jones were announced, one of them would get injured a month out and cause the fight to get delayed.

Have they given up on a fight with GSP?

Timing doesn't work. Georges won't fight until November at the earliest. Plus he has multiple potential WW contenders in Diaz and Kampmann/Hendricks waiting.

I figured his knee injury pretty much killed the match.

I just thought a match up w/ Bones would simply be more entertaining/draw more numbers
