I agree....Maybe a rematch with Okami to sort that all out & then move up to LHW, since there is absolutely no one currently under UFC contract, below that weight who is going to beat him.
I am a big GSP fan....but dude....anyone who is thinking that GSP might move up to challenge him is completely kidding themselves. NO way in hell that he's got a chance. I would honestly like to see GSP sit tight and dominate the WW division for a good 6-8 fights before even allowing him to think about it. Just given the way the he was eating punches/jabs against Penn...coupled with fact that bigger dudes, like Franklin, Marquardt and Henderson aren't able to muscle Silva around just does not bode well at all for Georges. He's not going to be able to bully Silva & I'm willing to bet that Silva's punching power & speed is better than Penn's. So........
I just don't see anyone 185 or smaller who is going to pose a serious threat to Silva right now. I for one at this point, would be very interested in seeing how Silva handles the bigger dudes. I sure that an obligatory rematch against Okami is next up....but after that, I'd love to see how he works against some of the LHW names, like an Alexander, Sokoudjou, Gouveia, etc....
Silva vs Machida would be a very interesting match up at this point in time, IMO.
