Who else can they give this guy at 185 seriously? I guess they got Middleweights in WEC and with that merger in weight classes for the heavier divisions, no middleweight would be staying with WEC. What else can he do but continue until age plays a factor?

I think a fight with Paolo Filho at least has to happen before I say he's done it all, but I think after that any other fighter will just be a showcase fight, there are some match ups that I would be really excited to see, but he has nothing left to prove at 185.

If Hendo had been in good shape I thought he would have done better. IMO he won the first round and then gassed. But it's hard to see andone besides possibly Linland giving Anderson much of a run.

I think he has a shot. I had actually forgotten about him. Good call.

Henderson is the only guy to win a round, and he is looking for a rematch.
Lindland, if he ever comes to the UFC, could be a legit contendor for the belt.
And Filho, even though from what I've seen he wouldn't stand a chance, he is a top 5 ranked MW so I'm sure he might get a shot.
It'd be funny if they gave the winner of Leben and Bisping a chance...haha

I dont see Bisping winnin or Leben I think henderson could win a rematch but still would be the underdog I believe That Okami has a better chance of beating Silva than Fihlo honestly GSP is a decent matchup because he could take Silva down easy however i think silva has better submissions. Some people would say im crazy because GSP has submitted more guys but when i see Silva on the ground i see great submissions. hell i havent seen anyone escape a submission by Silva

An in shape Henderson beats him. Remember guys, Anderson isn't unstoppable. It wasn't all that long ago that Ryo Chonan pulled THE slickest submission I've seen for a looooooong time off on him. Ryo completely dominated the fight and was on his way to a decision, the sub just added to it. If someone would come in using his strategy of avoiding the clinch and when you back away throwing some leg kicks I think Anderson would crumple again. He seems to get in a rut when he's got his back against a wall.
That being said, I don't see someone beating him until Henderson rematches him. The UFC MW division isn't as strong as most people suggest. Aside from Franklin, Henderson, and Silva they don't really have a lot of talent. Bisping and Leben are both overrated and Jason Macdonald is a turd.
EDIT: I agree with the Paulo Filho comments, he's overrated. I do see him subbing Silva if it hits the mat though. Lindland has a legit chance of beating him if he can get it to the ground, which I'm sure he can, but Lindland gets sloppy sometimes and tries to throw some strikes.

After Palhares defeats Henderson, he will go on to submit Anderson Silva in round 1.

Hendo will beat Palhares, Palhares is good. Hendo can avoid subs from the best though. He was only subbed by Anderson because I feel he panicked. The Nogueira's had tough time with Henderson though they both did sub him. The first time he fought big Nog he went the distance. All while avoiding many subs. If Hendo's head is in the fight then Palhares won't be subbing him. I doubt he outwrestles Hendo because of obvious reasons. Hendo by TKO or Decision is my prediction but Palhares could shock the world.

If Toquinho beats Henderson I would be excited to see him fight Silva, but his stand up is dirt so I wouldn't expect him to beat Anderson.

Filho is overrated....IN his last fight against Chael Sonnen Chael controlled the fight and a quick stoppage by the ref fucked over Chael I believe, as well as Chael's own stupidity of wanting to go to the ground with Paulo. So you could make an arguement for Chael, but I think Silva would dominate him.

His arm was going to be broken if the ref didn't step in, he wasn't going to get out of the armbar.

His arm was going to be broken if the ref didn't step in, he wasn't going to get out of the armbar. He may be better in BJJ competition than the Nogueiras. Is he better at subs while being punched in the face? That's something both the Nogs have over any other BJJ fighter. They can take punishment and still win. I haven't seen Toquinho fight anyone as dangerous as Dan and I haven't seen him do anything on the ground that impressed me really. He's good, but he's so one dimensional it's hard for me to see him beating Hendo.
