    Wandy will get exposed at 185, not so much the weight, he's just passed it in his carreer. Might make for some fan friendly fights though:popcorn:

    I agree. Silva is clearly shot, but he still has a puncher's chance. His fights are can't miss, as chances are, one way or another, it's gonna end in a brutal KO.

    Jesus Christ. Why does the UFC keep recycling guys like Silva and Chuck?

    Silva is past it, but his last three fights have been entertaining or ended great.

    Agreed about Chuck, but I think Silva is still a passable fighter to watch. Liddell will most likely retire after the Shogun fight.

    I truly believe that Silva and Liddell are completely finished, and will lose to any top tier fighters at this point.

    They are gatekeepers ...nothing more.
