What do you guys think is next for these guys?
Edgar- I don't think this loss totally kills his momentum, I think he could get a title shot with another win or two in the division, as long as its not against Aldo. I actually still really like his chances against Conor. Also, potentially a move to 135 could be great- I would love to see him matched up with TJ or Assuncao if he made that drop.
Hendricks- it seems like Hendricks had so much motivation and momentum going into winning the title, and after he won the title it almost seemed like that fire disappeared. I know he gets a lot of hate but he just doesn't seem to be 100% in the sport mentally right now. He gave credit to Lawler after he lost the title to him (even though I personally thought Hendricks won that fight), gave credit to Wonderboy and Gastelum by saying they were the better fighters. I just think he needs some time off to find some motivation and rededicate himself to the sport.
Tate- the way the WBW division is, she is still at the top of the heap. An interesting fight could be a rematch with her and Cat- both are coming off of losses, and their first fight was a fight of the night a few years back.
Silva- That body kick at the end! After the Bisping fight I think we were all wondering what to make of the Spider- should he retire? Does he have another run in him? And then Bisping wins the title and the Spider saves the day at UFC 200. Even despite the loss, I really think its hard to hold this one against him moving forward. I would love to see a rematch with Vitor in Brazil or maybe even a matchup with Gegard. I would really like to see some combination of Vitor, Gegard, and Silva fighting - (Silva vs Vitor 2, Gegard vs Silva, or Gegard vs Vitor)
