Lot's of good title defense fights for Anderson Silva, including a Belfort rematch.
Now, less talk of impossible matchups and more focus on defending the belt!

If you're looking for reason and honesty from Dana White, prepare to be disappointed.

So what?, Dana also said that he will put the fights the fans wants to see, remember how Dana says one thing and then changes his mind, if people really want to see that rematch then they must insist untill it is done.
Besides there is no hype between them, im not sure if they are close friends, so no, i dont think that fight will happen, but it makes u think again when u see the difference of the Belfort fighting Silva and the one that pummeled Bisping, where he was lightning fast with his kicks, very accurate with punches, clever using setup kicks, also he is now leaner and faster, idk, Belfort clearly increased his chances again Silva or JBJ.

The new ranking system should take care of that.

If you want to find logical fallacies when discussing Dana White you don't have to look far

A big problem for JDS was a lack of contenders. Besides the guys JDS had already beaten, Overeem was out for a suspension. There was basically nobody left except Cain.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. I hope the UFC isn´t trying to influence it to much. Would be weird if they put Hendricks any less than #3.

HW is so thin...Dana must feel more MWs deserve a shot while HW doesn't offer any contenders.

lack of contenders isn't a problem to Silva?

Well I don't know if it will completely take care of it, but yes, it should help clear up some ambiguity regarding where fighter's stand in their division.
And If Vitor really wanted that Anderson rematch he should have called him out instead of Jones, either way though if he keeps knocking people out at 185 hes obviously going to get another shot.
