Anderson Silva: The 205lb Belt Belongs To Machida
"I don't have intention to fight on this category and Im only doing this because they (UFC) asked me and I think I can do it. I don't intend to fight for this belt, this belt belongs to Lyoto (Machida) and he already proved that. I'm going to fight because I like to fight and because I like challenges."
Of course, they will all still lose to Lyoto but getting beaten by Lyoto is a lot different physically and psychologically than getting beaten by Anderson.
sigh*
I don't think it was ever in doubt that he was staying at 185lbs. And where did you get the quote, link would be nice :)
As if Dana has any interest in even letting Lyoto fight for the title...
I told you clowns. Taking a fight at 205 does not mean you're "moving up to 205" for good. He's just getting a good fight and doesn't have to cut a ton of weight. And probably getting a big bonus since he agreed to headline this card on extremely short notice.
I don't know. I didn't see it. L)
Anderson would have beaten every 205er they have, including Lyoto. Wanderlei is the only possible tough matchup for him just because of his style and power.
I wouldn't rule out a 205 title shot for Anderson. It just depends how the cards fall.
belongs to Machida?
damn. I guess they are buddies.
Yes, they come from the same stable
I would like to issue an apology to MX, as I argued pretty vehemently that I thought Anderson would be staying at 205 if he convincingly beat Irvin. If he says he's not, I stand corrected and I was wrong in my opinion.
MNFAN, vehement discussion is teh good, no apology needed, though you're the man for throwin it out there. Here's to us all enjoying a good Anderson beat-down.
Mac Cack Cow - lol@anderson beating Machida. First this guy is a Pride scrub losing to two small pride fighters. Now he beats Rich Franklin 2x and now is unbeatable, even at the 205 weight class. Ya now, he can beat W.Silva and R.Arona etc. Give me a break.
LOL...what in the hell is going on here?
MX, I agree on the beat down. I'm stoked for any Silva fight regardless of weight class.
I know the UG has its faults but overall I like this place and I don't want to be known as a guy that throws around a lot of shit but never owns up to it when I'm wrong.
Plus once he beats Irvin and then stays at 205 I can publicly rescind my apology and tell everyone that YOU were wrong! That's how I'm supposed to do it right? j/k
AND anderson silvia only beat that Hendew guy from that there japneez organimation he aint no gewd either, stupid forener.
Fucking imbeciles everywhere
" Of course, they will all still lose to Lyoto but getting beaten by Lyoto is a lot different physically and psychologically than getting beaten by Anderson "
Well duh because Anderson is three times the fighter Lyoto is.
MNFAN - MX, I agree on the beat down. I'm stoked for any Silva fight regardless of weight class.LOL....you know it.

but i want to see anderson vs. chack!!! there are no middleweights left, anderson, what are you doing?!?!?!
What is he doing?
He is going to reign supreme over the middleweights. Break Hughes and Ortiz record of title defenses and make peeps in weight class below and above come to him
Forest will beat Lyodos arse
