Are you interested in Rockhold vs A. Silva?

Nah.. I would have if he would have gotten serious about Bisping and finished the job in the 4th. Instead he acted like a spoiled baby and refused to engage. Anderson will always be my favorite but I wish he would just retire. I'll always fully support his decisions and root for him, but the sport is starting to blow by very quickly and Luke is a big MW that is solid in every aspect of his game.

Nope, Anderson doesn't have a championship run left. It's time for Luke or Chris to begin a legacy. Anderson should fight fun fights. Shogun, Rashad, Machida, Rampage, Mousasi, GSP. Etc.

Mousasi and fun fight shouldn't ever be mentioned in the same sentence.
 
Why not

If Anderson wants the fight and earns it, let him bang.

A 40 year old Anderson is still dangerous if you don't capitalize or underestimate him.
 
If Hall lets go, I assume Andy is getting KTFO. He won't though so Silva has a shot.
 
Of course silva should keep fighting the best till he dies. Like people want fedor to do.
 
Not at all. Other than too see Luke add another highlight to his reel.

Silva, win or lose at 198 should just retire. Nothing at all left for him to prove.
 
I am not interested in watching an aging Anderson be crushed by a young, huge Rockhold. Five years ago? Sure.

Rockhold's standup > AS.. As has the most overrated standup in MMA history. I'm not saying it isn't good, but Sherdoggers rank him amongst the top 5 of all time on the feet. Who does AS have a win over that has great standup? I only see Hendo and Belfort.. Both of which he was losing to on the feet until the finish.

Silva went on his so called incredible title run when MW was the weakest it's ever been. A prime AS in todays MW division, and Silva would be a nobody.

Woah... I sincerely hope you're trolling. If you're not, then I'm sure you've never sparred a single round in your life.

Anyone who has any inkling of stand up fighting can instantly recognize Silva's amazing footwork and striking. From pinpoint counter punching from the pocket, to his combination of speed, power and balance in his striking, and his uncanny dexterity and flexibility in his legs.

He was gifted, and he was, in his prime the most lethal and talented striker in the history of the sport.

If you dont at least put him in the top 3 all time, then I seriously question your ability to accurately process what you're watching when you see two professional mma fighters fighting.
 
Anderson needs to beat Uriah Hall first. Him "losing" to Bisping put him in the back of the line as of now. I'd love to see Silva fight for the belt again, but in all honesty Yoel or Jacare/Vitor deserve a title shot before Anderson.
 
It depends on his next fight, Urijah Hall's strength is also Anderson's. If Anderson pulls off a finish, what I think will be confirmed, that he can still finish anyone in the division including Rockhold.

Hendo is an all time great but there is no great technique there. He was an iron chined brawler who could scramble well. Didnt use his wrestling offensiveley. Belfort is a much better striker now than when he and Silva fought as well.

Neither were some of the best strikers in the sport at the time.

He's better now than when he fought Silva! Lol how convenient
 
Current Rockhold beats prime Anderson and absolutely destroys current Anderson.
 
Anderson keeping it standing and KO'ing Rockhold isn't as far fetched as people make it seem, prime Anderson would toy with him.
 
Anderson can still KO anyone I think so he'll still be a chance, I'd be putting my money on Rockhold though.
 
But, but, AS KTFO Vitor who KTFO Luke. Isn't that the MMA math?:D

In all seriousness, AS lost all his confidence and chin. prime AS would be a sweet fight.
 
Luke will beat Anderson easily, don't want to see it.

I love Anderson, but he's not what he used to be, and it happens to all great champions. No shame in that.
 
Remember when Anderson was shitted on for showing interest in a Rockhold fight?
