If Babalu moved down to 185 would Silva still be MW GOAT?

If he moved down to MW at the right time how would he have done?

Babalu was like a better version of Weidman IMO.

So how've you been Babalu? Haven't heard about you in awhile
 
Always liked Babalu, has a very good resume. Good fighter.
 
I love Sobral, and his wrestling skills would give Silva a hard time. But Babalu also had knack for getting knocked out dead in big fights. Plus, he was a bit overhyped, as his win streak before his title shot vs Chuck was really a bunch of no names, Jeremy Horn, and a very green 21 year old Shogun. People thought he was the shit when Shogun was kicking ass 2 years later
 
depends if silva said anything about babalus mother.
 
btw, it was a fucking shame he was cut from the UFC. as he was always entertaining and imagine how many good fights he could of had. He would of been a hell of a gatekeeper.
 
Babalu was one of my favorite fighters back in my early MMA years.
But he was tailor made for an Anderson HL reel KO.
 
There's a lot to like about Babalu as a fighter. But if he fought Silva I think we'd have shooped Babaluface all over everything for years instead of Shadface.

I don't think he was a better version of Weidman.
 
Depends on what time in Silvas title reign....if its early after he won the title he would have a shot at beating Anderson on the ground and perhaps catching a submission. Mid to end of Andys reign when his tdd got good he would lose.

no..he held on the darce for too long after heath passed out dirty motherfucker
 
Seraldo Babalu was one of the greatest light heavyweights of the night but I dunno if he could take on the GOAT MW.

He prob get ko'd pretty bad but could do well on the ground against Andy

There used to be amazing shoops of Babalu's face floating around the internet, can't find em anymore.
