Not really. I just dont see the appeal in the Rashad fight, dunno why.

If Lombard gets past Okami, which I think he will, I have a feeling Anderson/Lombard happens.

One has nothing to do with the other. What Anderson wants and what the UFC is thinking are different. The source for AS is some Brazil source.

if history has shown us anything, it's that we can rationalize who will fight who next to our hearts content...and we're usually wrong.
Silva v Jacare/Evans/Weidman/Rockhold/Vitor, i dunno. i'll probably watch whichever one it is though.

Well, sounds like Silva can't get what he wants, so he will have to pick someone else.

If Anderson really wanted Rockhold you think the UFC would say too bad?
They just gave GSP Diaz so I think the champ gets their pick of the litter. But who knows if the Anderson story is legit.

Either people are making too much of what DW said... meaning Anderson SAID he wanted to come back in the spring but it means nothing in terms of when the fight is actually happening... this happens all the time on Sherdog because we over-analyze everything.
OR
Rashad was set up to fight Nog (a fight many here said was pointless... and it seemed to be) so he could beat a teammate of AS (plus raise his stock with a win) and then call him out while announcing that he was moving down to MW. As long as he doesn't get injured or lose they can pull off the spring timeframe that was talked about.
So basically it has to be Rashad with a win... right?

hopefully. its time

Anderson vs Lombard is the one I want to see at 185

Yeah, but in that case GSP's wish is much more profitable for the UFC, since the Diaz fight is all about PPV numbers. The UFC are not doing that because they are nice.
Evans would do much more PPV #s than Rockold.
