    ...and keep the LHW title for awhile. Hopefully.

    p.s., just in case you weren't already impressed with Shogun, just know that two months ago, the guy had appendicitis and surgery and didn't skip a beat.

    It's gonna be hard with Rampage, Evans, Silva and co waiting in the wings.

    He already destroyed Rampage once before.

    I doubt Evans can beat him.

    Anderson Silva would be an interesting fight.

    is that true? he's a badman if so, I had appendicitis and couldn't do any activity for at least 3 weeks after the surgery

    I said the same thing when Machida won the title.

    The light-heavyweight division is too stacked for anyone to reign supreme for long.

    A lot of talent at 205 but i think shogun has the talent to beat them all or at least most of them.

    Shogun vs evans/rampage winner would be nice
    Shogun vs Spider Silva would be even better

    It depends if he can regain some sort of consistency. If he can he can go on a run. I can't forget how bad he looked two fights ago. While he definitely looked great on sat., you cant ignore that he matches up well with lyoto and seemed to have solved that 'puzzle' and just made it look easy.
