I have never understood why the fearless Anderson Silva never jumped up to light heavyweight and faced the champ.
He sure faced stiff competition in light heavyweight being none other than James Irvin
and the two TUF season one finalists... How impressive is that!!??
Why did Anderson not want to face legit competition at light heavyweight? Was he scared he would get absolutely starched? If any of you are gonna say 'wahh wahh Forrest just lost the championship in his last fight!' just dont. Forrest is not a good fighter. He pulled 2 miracles out of his ass during his career, one the first shogun fight, two the rampage fight. When Forrest wasnt pulling miracles out of his ass he was running from the cage crying that he lost.
So what gives? Why did Anderson never challenge real competition at light heavyweight?
