Once again, Anderson Silva proved that he's on another planet in terms of the middleweight division. It's basically Silva, then the rest of the division. They shouldn't have rankings in the UFC for that division because Silva should occupy the top 5 spots. They have to start with the number 6 ranked contender, that's how far ahead Silva is from the rest of the division.
The only way this guy is going to lose is by a fluke. There isn't a fighter on the planet, in any organization, that can hold a candle to Silva in the middleweight division. He just walked through a force in Dan Henderson, who, oh by the way, knocked out Wanderlei Silva just last year at 205.
We have Anderson Silva to blame for the lousy middleweight division. He's just too good. Without him, there really is talent in the division. Rich Franklin, Travis Lutter, Nate Marquardt, Yushin Okami, Evan Tanner, Ed Herman, Chris Leben, these guys have some serious talent. Yet not one of them can even touch Silva.
So don't lose faith in the middleweight division even though I've been trashing it over the last couple months. There are plenty of exciting fighters who will step up and get thrashed by Silva. That doesn't go for just the UFC either. Silva will destroy anyone in this weight class no matter what organization it is. This could be Dana White's way of getting into some cross promoting because he can boast that his fighter is by far the best in the world.

At this point they come up with another belt for the division. Let Silva fight who ever holds that belt every three to four months. He is so much better then anyone it is not even funny. His fights are awesome because he just pummels and destroys his opponent. I mean....seriously..did anyone ever think they would see a great fighter like Rich Franklin bloodied and pummeled the way he was...TWICE!!
I think the only fight I would like to see would be St. Pierre vs Silva. Let them both meet half way for the weight and lets see who the best lb for lb fighter is.
Watching Silva dismantle the middleweights is like watching that Seinfeld episode when Kramer takes Karate lessons with all the little kids.
superb idea. that's pretty much what they have to do. They could make the belt out of paper machet.
