Wait so...these fighters are contenders?

[Dragonseeker]

No wonder why Anderson Silva doesn't seem that interested in fighting anybody in MW right now.

I mean, Belcher, Okami, Boetsch, Phillippou are supposed to like one or two big fights away from a title fight and they all looked awful.

I mean, if I am Anderson, I wouldn't even care until one of them wins like six fights in a roll.

 

[nintey]

Weidmans the only semi interesting guy.

 

[Sonicabewm]

Chris Weidman and Bisping are solid contenders

 

[cOugAr_LIbRe_85]

There's no fight at 185 that really stands out for me for Anderson. Weidman slightly, but nothing too exciting there. Honestly, Anderson should fight GSP, defend the belt one more time at '85 against weidman then just step up to 205 for good. Fight bones, win or lost there's great fights at 205 for him.

Maybe even one fight at hw!

 

[cluegoo**]

Belfort would be a big enough win for bisping to get a shot, weidman looks to have ability but his wins are pretty mediocre despite the made up rankings you cant justify a shot with so few fights and munoz as your best win. Tonight has knocked potential contenders down a bit.

 

[The Skilled Won]

okami was the only one that at one time was a true contender IMO but he got his ass handed to him already...the rest were never close to contenders although they def tried to sell it like they were...i never bought it...

6 in a roll, huh...

 

[misfitofscience]

185 is easily the worst division. Only 125 comes close and that's just because it's so new.

 

[Claude]

There's a guy who has been looking great, but Anderson already said no to that fight. The quality of contenders in the MW division is nothing new. It's a pretty weak division. Anderson should either accept the Weidman fight or move up.

 

[Boom_Ba_Ye]

Hector Lombard is a legit contender.

 

[snoop dogg***]

Hector Lombard is a legit contender.

yup.
Alot of wall n stall apparent at 185 today..
thats not hector

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

Thankfully there's still Vitor, Bisping, Lombard, and Weidman

 

[FlyThai**]

So first people claim Weidman is the undisputed MW contender, and now after tonight people are acting as if these fights had anything to do with the title picture?

MW haters need to keep their story straight

 

[Nova Q]

Outside of like 3 fighters the MW division is a joke and you saw that in full display tonight.

 

[Arista]

MW is just a surplus of mediocrity. Let The Spider have a challenge and do whatever fight will bring in "Anderson Silva money". Bisbing has name recognition, but his chances are nonexistent. Weidman has 1 chance in hell. Just one. But no name recognition and Anderson is beyond that.

 

[The Skilled Won]

its really becoming more apparent the only fights that seem worthy of Anderson Silva are superfights or at least interesting LHW fights...shit, id rather see Anderson fight a guy like Thiago Silva over any of these leftover MW so called contenders...they just dont spark any interest...

 

[Cygnus-X]

C'mon, who can't get behind Anderson vs Bisping? That will be brutal. Just brutal. And Bisping is going to make it worse by trash talking all the way up to it.

it really does seem that way...theres no stars in the division that spark an interest...nobody that stands out...anyone that was interesting already fought and lost to silva...theres really nothing left...

the trash talk only does so much but what could bisping really say? especially when we all know hes guaranteed to get knocked the fuck out...that would be the only reason for this fight...HL reel KO of bisping...sonnens shit talk was different because he actually took silva deep into the 5th round and almost won...so when the rematch came around he had ammunition...i just couldnt take bisping seriously...

 

[Rod Farva]

Silva would kill any of those guys. All the fans, UFC brass, and the fighters all know it
