MW division clearly has no contenders right now.
Bisping is such a nice guy, but he isn't and won't be a contender. Belcher and Boetsch were taken off of the prospective list today.
Weidman is totally unproven, he is maybe the better of these names, but still not that great.
The rest was already tooled by Silva.
Besides, none of these fighters has any charisma whatsoever (except for Bisping, maybe), and a champ needs a personality.
So the obvious solution is that Rory MacDonald moves up.
He can beat any of those fighters easily and is the best thing to happen to UFC since Anderson in terms of originality.
Of course, that will happen only after he had Condit, Fitch and Hendricks destroyed. Early 2014 I predict. Unfortunately, he won't fight GSP, let's be realistic here.
Meanwhile Silva can do whatever he wants at MW and then move to LHW.
In fact, I do believe Rory stands a slight chance against Silva, but that would be too risky for Rory, and not good for the sport if Silva loses.
One can say that Machida could possibly be another solution. Indeed Machida would be an easy champion at MW (without Anderson), but Machida has a lot of asses to wreck at LHW, and as for now is the only one who can dethrone Jones.
I'm sorry for posting this even being so new at Sherdog, but I had to. A demand for this needs to be created as soon as possible, in order to rescue MW from damnation.
