"Business has just picked up"This divisions gonna be sick for the next few yearsAnderson Silva would get f*ckED if he fought Lyoto imo
Its not really a fair thing to say, Silva isnt a natural 205'er yet hes still beating good fighters at that weight. Both are friends, Anderson has said in the past he wont fight his teammates but now that Machida is the champ will be interesting to see Andersons stance.

Guys TOOOOOOOOOO illusiveDont see anyone beating him at all
WHAT A FINISHGWARN MACHIDA. HE'S GONNA DOMINATE THE DIVISION.
:D f*ck*ng sickens me it took for Rampage to get injured before Machida got his title shot. Easily the best fighter in the division. Wonder what Anderson Silva makes of this.word is elusive murks
The Anderson Silva Machida super fight has to happen,shogun's got a lot to do to get back to his pride form,Rampage vs Machida next then after Machida most likely beats him, Rashad vs Rampage

lol@guys suddenly hyping like Machida is a dominant force. Rashad Evans was never a great fighter. Switched off a fat and old Chuck, and Forrest Griffin is a piece of sh*t anyway.This LH title is going to change hands at least twice a year for a good while now.
Machida hasn't even really looked like losing yet and i'm struggling to see anyone in the LH division who can beat him right now.Maybe Rampage has got a better chin than Rashad but that doesn't mean he'll be able to connect with machida who doesn't seem to get caught.

I partially agree with Rashad not being that great. I feel he got the gift over Bisping and also should have lost to Tito.Machida looks awesome though. I want to see Machida vs Anderson.A quick update:- Rampage and Rashad will be the 2 TUF coaches for season 10- Hughes wants winner of GSP-Alves for his last fight otherwise hes gonna retire- Machida's first defense of the title MAY be against Shogun.

Hughes wouldnt beat either GSP or Alves.I would love to see GSP v Anderson Silva at 185 but I doubt that would happen.I think Shogun needs at least one more fight before Machida. Hes only really fought Coleman and he gassed badly and Chuck who was past his best.

Agreed, cant see Hughes avenging his loses to Alves or GSP. Rampage should beat Rashad, both big punches but Rampage definitely the stronger. Machida vs Shogun would be good only Shogun needs to up his stamina.

Machida would deal with Shogun. I'm trying to think of someone else in the LH division who deserves a title shot to which they could possibly have made a decider match against Shogun with the winner then taking on Machida. But actually can't think of someone, the only ones I can think of have got beat relatively recently...my minds gone blank, there must be someone.

Kimbo wants to prove himself fair play to himtheres certain other organisations that would offer him the p to feature on one of their cards he would be a big drawand the UFC need some more talent in the heavyweight division hopefully theres some real talent among this lot and hopefully Fedor and the UFC stop dragging their feet and fix a deal so everyone can see the Lesner Fedor fight still hope Mir wipes the floor with both of them though and can someone explain to me how the hell is Josh Barnett rated no.2 heavyweight in the world and whether that position/status has been earned?

I thought the reason Fedor wasnt in UFC was because he wants to be able to fight in other organizations but UFC only wont him to fight for them.
yeah but the UFC are notoriously rubbish when it comes to paying their stars what their worth,if they forked out big money and gave him a 3 match contract or somthing he could fight Couture Mir and Lesner in the space of a year then he can go back fighting unexclusivly for whoever he wantsit would be a shame if this couldn't happen or maybe the UFC could just be a little bit more flexible in their rules and regulations it would be a shame if he went his whole carreer and missed out on winning the ufc tittle

^^^Yea why are the UFC so tight with their money pot? Especially with all the promotion and recognition the company gets. Elite XC/Strikeforce and Affliction salaries completely engulf what UFC pay their fighters.There's no way some of the fighters can earn a decent standard living without a day job on the side tbh. Even those at the top end of the payscale could probably make more elsewhere, although I suppose the select few at the top probably benefit from personalised merchandice sales etc, but wouldnt be surprised if UFC also get a large cut of that too.

The UFC are greedy as f*ck. They've never paid their fighters what they deserve. Chuck Liddell (their highest paid superstar) roughly makes around 5% of the profits of a PPV he features on LMAO. Ultimate pisstake. Thats what Tito's beef with Dana has always been about. Fedor's contract was f*cked up. According to him:

Fedor also says no offer has been made in the last two years: "There were a lot of things in there that didn't make sense and there hasn't been any movement since then. Generally, one of the main issues was, if I was the UFC heavyweight champion then the contract was basically indefinite. And there were options and extensions, the contract would never end if I was their champion."That sounds a bit unusual. Fedor says that the deal offered was very NFL-like: "On the flip side of that, if I had performed in a way that they didn't like or I had lost, they could end the contract that day or have my purse decreased based on a poor peformance."
