What did We Learn From July 19th?

In a nutshell, Fedor Emelianenko and Anderson Silva are the absolute best fighters in the world. By far, no debating it whatsoever.

We'll start with the UFC. Anderson Silva would walk through the lightheavyweight division as well. You heard it here folks and it's my opinion but I doubt anyone at 205 can handle Silva. Ok maybe not walk through but he would beat anyone they threw at him. The UFC needs Silva to move up to the 205 lb. division for the sake of the middleweight division.

Think about the matchups that we could see if 'The Spyder' moves up. I'm making a very bold prediction but Anderson Silva would beat Wanderlei Silva, Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffin, Tito Ortiz, "Shogun" Rua, and "Rampage" Jackson (if he's not in the looney bin).

It's not gonna happen but it really should, especially with upstart organizations like Affliction putting on a great card. The middleweight division could be great if Anderson Silva wasn't in it and if he did move up he'd be the champ within a couple fights but the matchups would be outstanding.

The other thing we learned is that Randy Couture is going to get mauled by Fedor Emelianenko. Fedor has been scrutenized for not fighting a legitimate contender but it made no difference. Tim Sylvia is not a bad fighter and after all, was the UFC heavyweight champion and Fedor made him look like a child. So much so that Sylvia was quoted as saying, "I've never been hit that hard in my life..... the guy isn't even human."

Randy Couture has stated that he has one good fight left in him but he's gonna need a gun in order to even go the distance with Fedor. It bears worth repeating again but Couture lost to Chuck Liddell twice, beat an injured Tim Sylvia, and a not very good Gabriel Gonzaga.

This fight doesn't deserve the hype it's gonna get because Fedor isn't going to lose for a long, long time.
