    This is pretty much my thoughts on this as well. Although I honestly don't think GSP has much of a chance against Silva, (hate to say it since I'm Canadian) but it would be a good pay day for both. And if GSP can get the fight to the ground who knows. Hendo would be a more competitive fight, but this one would bring in a lot more $$$.

    But truthfully when you look at it objectively the UFC is pretty thin on talent when all of these fights are out of his weight division (although the GSP fight would likely be a middleweight). And the last one is a full two divisions higher.

    Reckon i'd have him fight


    Machida
    Kongo
    Gonzaga


    Machida's the only LHW who possibly stands a chance (tho i doubt even he does)

    Kongo would be an interesting one

    Then give him a big monster on a losing streak

    Henderson...he manhandled Anderson in their first round.
    Demian Maia/Nate Marquardt winner.....I think Maia wins this.
    Rampage/Evans winner

    1. Dan Henderson
    2. Rampage Jackson
    3. Lyoto Machida


    *The Machida fight probably will not happen.... but it's the best one to be made for Anderson Silva.:rasta

    That is what i think aswell.

    Stuff Evans know one will buy that PPV. But everyone and there dog will buy Silva vs Rampage.

    Then a climax to Silva vs Michada.

    That is taking into account that Machida keeps winning the whole time.
