Anderson Silva vs. Forrest Griffin Official; Thiago Silva Pulls Keith Jardine

Dyno- April 29, 2009 at 5:13 pm

middleweight - what about that guy from canada Michael Lascelles - he'd take the belt in less than two rounds

SCM- April 29, 2009 at 4:19 pm

This fight will be insane. Silvas gonna have a handful. I think Anderson might pull this off though.. Hes gonna show his old self because it is actually someone credible in mma. This will be INSANE. Im betting on silva. Theres no way im betting against him untill he loses. Simple as that.

Not First- April 29, 2009 at 3:01 pm

Silva vs Griffin? Thats a bad fight for Griffin. I like the guy cause of his brawling style but he will push the pace and press forward and get ko'ed. I wanna see Machida vs. Silva....

Anonymous- April 29, 2009 at 2:19 pm

Silva's next fight should be free on Spike. Redeem yourself there, and then maybe I'd pay later.

SCM- April 29, 2009 at 1:54 pm

Its gonna be Cung Le. Hes the only person that can blow our minds. Think about it. Then go watch his fights.

Tbiz- April 29, 2009 at 12:19 pm

Phil Baroni returns to the UFC middleweight division????

Tbiz- April 29, 2009 at 12:18 pm

Instead of throwing money away by betting on K-flo to pull off the upset, (which he won't!) try betting Forrest at UFC 101. He's the underdog and loves being in that position. BJ and Forrest will take home victories and BJ will get KO of the night via 2nd round TKO.

viper24- April 29, 2009 at 12:18 pm

my guess it's either lawler, mousasi, or "jacare" souza

MOOOOOSE- April 29, 2009 at 11:57 am

ANYONE KNOW WHEN TICKETS GO ON SALE FOR UFC 101? THEIR GOING TO SELL OUT FAST.

Anonymousbongripsforjesus- April 29, 2009 at 11:21 am

I hope to God it's Gegard Mousasi, dude is sick and I think would clean silvas clock along with ebveryone else in the division.

axhed- April 29, 2009 at 11:20 am

lol myles i was gonna guess gina carano.

Anonymous- April 29, 2009 at 10:34 am

mousasi would be the only middleweight that would 'blow my mind'. he's the only one who really presents an eminent threat to silva. shields, lawler, etc. are good, but if silva actually comes to fight then it's game over. the only problem is that mousasi doesn't want to fight middleweight anymore. hence, he vacated the mw belt at dream to move up at lhw and hw. by the way, fedor > spider silva

again anderson silva is a bitch, i dont care what that faggot does.

Justin- April 29, 2009 at 10:17 am

This fight is a fucking joke.

K.E.G.- April 29, 2009 at 10:16 am

Should be a great fight also you don't have to sell it as a main event wich I'm sure was a huge deal maker for DW after his last Anderson main event fiasco.

Anonymous- April 29, 2009 at 10:08 am

another bum fight for Silva great.

Antisocial- April 29, 2009 at 10:01 am

Anderson's reaction when he found out Gina Carano was going to be in Playboy.

just a fight fan- April 29, 2009 at 9:40 am

More importantly, does this mean if T Silva beats Jardine he gets the next title shot? After all, Jardine's is Rashad's personal gate keeper, right?

Fellow Canadian.- April 29, 2009 at 9:07 am

Its Nick Diaz! Whoop Whoop!

gesus- April 29, 2009 at 9:01 am

I'm willing to bet it is Cung Le. Seriously.

Zuza- April 29, 2009 at 9:01 am

Wow, it looks like we managed to chase this cock-loving prick CAPS LOCK HAL off this website. Finally, this flaming fag is gone and we can all enjoy some healthy MMA discussions. I hope he took that douche TUF Guy with him, I heard they like each other very much. Congratulations guys! It's a victory!! Time to celebrate! Woot!

manutdfan- April 29, 2009 at 8:54 am

Kadumel: Is that what happened in the 'Grappling Demonstration'?

Jay Smith- April 29, 2009 at 8:46 am

Silva by TKO in the 3rd round.
I hope like hell the middleweight is Cung Le. That dude kicks like a mule!

Armfarmer- April 29, 2009 at 8:44 am

Why does everyone all of a sudden think Forrest can wrestle? Isn't that the worst aspect of his game?

Judo Im right- April 29, 2009 at 8:23 am

It's gotta be Belfort -- He's really hypable -- He did look great in his last fight after losing some of that roid weight, he has the quick hands back. I'd like to see him back

Younanymous- April 29, 2009 at 8:19 am

Don't forget to take Dana with a grain of salt. Remember his earth-shattering superhyped announcement that the UFC was going to have action figures? Lets just say this is probably not going to be all that mindblowing...

What about Nick Diaz moving up? He's getting paid dirt anyways.

Levi- April 29, 2009 at 8:17 am

mousasi was the first one i thought of when he said it would "blow my mind." but there are a couple others that would at least be interesting.

Craig- April 29, 2009 at 7:34 am

This will actually be an interesting fight. I can see Forrest being willing to trade and close with Silva, being willing to eat a few to get it on the ground.

I'd almost say that despite their standup glory (one for style, one for grit) this match ends on the ground.

NinJay- April 29, 2009 at 7:33 am

I wouldn't bet on the Silva fight but my money is on Florian for sure.

Bojangles- April 29, 2009 at 7:32 am

that would be awesome if the middleweight that they're thinking of signing is the Dutch Destroyer that is Melvin Manoef

Myles Kilometers- April 29, 2009 at 7:31 am

Maybe it's Cyborg...she's a middleweight isn't she?

JoseMonkey- April 29, 2009 at 7:22 am

Calling it now: Griffin def. Silva, Florian def. Penn

My Fight Wiffa Cheeto- April 29, 2009 at 7:22 am

Belfort fighting the way he has been would be awesome... but I really really hope it's Gerard Mousasi. That would make me flip shit and my girlfriend can let her Armenian pride rage.

Tbiz- April 29, 2009 at 7:13 am

This was the perfect fight to help headline Penn vs Florian. I hope Forrest can pull off the upset cause I know for damn sure that Florian isn't upsetting Penn! 2nd round TKO for Penn and then it's back to working on them Tan Lines hahaha

NinJay- April 29, 2009 at 7:06 am

Sodallah, haha. You made me LOL you son of a.......

Dave- April 29, 2009 at 7:03 am

Cung Le and Jake Shields are both under contract. On top of that, Le doesn't want to fight anymore and Shields is only a MW because there's no WW competition for him in Strikeforce. He'd be a WW in the UFC. Lawler is also under contract. Mayhem has a problem with UFC management and will not sign an exclusive contract with them, which is the only kind of contract they have.

That leaves Belfort, who would blow no one's mind whatsoever, since he has already been in the UFC once as a colossal failure, and a number of guys in Japan who most American fans have never heard of.

I think it's Amir Sodollah.

Dapper- April 29, 2009 at 6:59 am

I like the fight and am hoping Forrest wins but what this will do is perhaps make Silva train harder and actually fight like he used to which can't be a good thing for Forrest.

Wyatt- April 29, 2009 at 6:58 am

Anyone else feel like Dana got this idea from a bunch of drunks at the Nascar race last weekend? I mean, we do have video of him drinking moonshine... I'm not complaining at all, by the way, in fact, ALL HAIL DRUNK DANA!!!

Anderson's thumbs- April 29, 2009 at 6:57 am

cung le = kimbo

Kadumel- April 29, 2009 at 6:56 am

??? Fedor tapped out Aoki with an Achilles Lock after Aoki almost got kimura'd and took off his gi top ???

Anderson's thumbs- April 29, 2009 at 6:56 am

ufc is finally putting some great fight cards together.

Diaz beats Gomi- April 29, 2009 at 6:53 am

cung le is making movies, mousasi is moving up to lt heavy. so I doubt its either one of them. I like Jake Shields but he's not mind-blowing. Now having Vitor back in the ufc would be awesome!!! So I pick Vitor out of pure selfishness!

Anonymous- April 29, 2009 at 6:53 am

The new middleweight will be Mayhem.

mayhem420- April 29, 2009 at 6:48 am

OBI - I doubt that it would be Cung Le. He is too busy making movies now to be a full time fighter. As cool as it would be I just dont see him in the UFC anytime soon. However I could deff see Jake Shields since he would be a deff contender almost right away... I could also see Vitor Belfort coming back since he just killed Lindland and we all know how much Dana hates Matt. So I can see Dana giving Vitor a shot back for that alone. What about Gegard Mousasi??? Whats he doing these days?

NinJay- April 29, 2009 at 6:48 am

I would rather see Shields than Le

fedor a million ankles- April 29, 2009 at 6:45 am

By the way, I'm a little upset that Kenny's titleshot is gonna be a co-mainer. Fuck that bullshit, the lightweight title has been around Bj's fat ass for a year now, I wouldn't be surprised if that fuck had tanlines from it. Now you're meaning to tell me the most deserved title shot ever doesn't hold enough weight to carry an entire card?

How about have them fight at UFC 100, so that card doesn't suck monkey balls. Fucktards.

The MMA Bowler- April 29, 2009 at 6:44 am

Wow... Dana must not want Forest in the UFC anymore. Cause thats not a good fight for him. He's pretty aggrisive and thats taylor made for Anderson. Ah-la Leben, Franklin, not to mention the "Sandman". Silva 2nd round TKO.

fedor a million ankles- April 29, 2009 at 6:38 am

Vitor Belfort is a possibility, also somebody on MMA linker mentioned that he might be talking about Akiyama in which case this isn't news.

I hope it's Cung Le. I hope my left testicle it's Cung Le...

krezylobstah- April 29, 2009 at 6:31 am

Gegard Mousasi would be the only signing one that would blow my mind...

drummer- April 29, 2009 at 6:22 am

another geuss, Robbie Lawler

Myles Kilometers- April 29, 2009 at 6:21 am

Gegard Mousasi? Robbie Lawler? Vitor Belfort?

Old, Bald and Irish- April 29, 2009 at 6:21 am

By the way, Anderson Silva fighting Fedor is a crackheads pipe dream.

I'm really sick of all these UFC guys calling out Fedor. JUST STOP IT!

IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN SO SHUT UP!

Ooooh...I feel like CAPS LOCK HAL.

....the power of the caps lock...aaaaaaah!

Darwin- April 29, 2009 at 6:21 am

Please don't hurt my Forrest :(

Old, Bald and Irish- April 29, 2009 at 6:17 am

"White said he is working on signing another middleweight that he would not name who he said “would blow your mind.”"

Ok...let the speculation begin.

I have two guesses on who this could be: Cung Le or Jake Shields.

I know that Dana likes Cung Le 'cause i saw a video of Dana being interviewed about his take on different fighters and he said he was very impressed with Le.

Jake has a pretty good following (I'm a big fan) and I think he could step his game up even more in the UFC.

Shields fights at 170 lbs and Le at 185 lbs.

We'll see what happens.

Any other guesses?

Dick Byrnes- April 29, 2009 at 6:12 am

Why couldn't they just keep Thiago on the 101 card? It's week as it is and that fight would've just beefed it up a little.

Ruger- April 29, 2009 at 6:12 am

Pretty fuckin exited about this. Hope its a war and Forrest doesn't go down early.

FUCKJUNIEand his BROTHERand CAPS LOCK HAL!- April 29, 2009 at 6:08 am

Now this will be a card! I may actually have to pay for this one!

raspberrymight- April 29, 2009 at 6:06 am

That's a match up I didn't see coming, was praying that the rumours (spelt correctly for the Americans) were going to come to fruition. Now all we need is the Spider to turn up showing the form he had against Leben or Franklin...

Fedor vs Bas- April 29, 2009 at 6:01 am

This is a great idea. I can't wait to see Anderson dance this entire fight too. At least Forrest will chase him around.
