vs. 1)prime Frank Shamrock? 2)middleweight Tito Ortiz? (i dunno if he was in his prime at that weight)
Stays on the outside of Frank and out strikes him. Gets taken down and layed and prayed by Tito for 5 boring rounds.
Tito was a "Middleweight" when the limit was 200 pounds. Knock's Frank cold, probably loses to the much bigger Ortiz.
Filho and Silva are good friends. Henderson refuses to go down to 185. Dana and Lindland hate one another.
Put it this way the way ufc is they could get all those fight's if they wanted to, has fhilo or silva said they wouldn't fight each other, i haven't heard that. Hendo can't refuse to go to 185 he says he doesn't want to but he is still the pride 185 champion so they could basically force him to. I understand about lindland but dana should bring him in. If some of these fight's don't happen there is no point in even having a mw division.
Dana White listed Terrell as a possible opponent, and some other guy...I forget who though. I like Terrell, but Anderson would slaughter him. I would love to see the 3 you mentioned.
Im in agreement with most Titos a big stong man hed likely take down Anderson whos flaw is his takedown defense smother him and win a decision. I think Anderson puts Frank Shamrock down to sleep the difference in striking would be obvious from the start.
I am not sure if tito could beat silva all he has is his wrestling, if chuck could starch tito twice i don' see why i better striker like silva couldn't put him away.
Yeah but Tito couldnt take Chuck down, Are u saying a 185 pound Anderson has better takedown defense then a 205 Chuck ? I hope not.
No but i am saying anderson silva is a much better striker than chuck and is better on the ground than either tito or chuck, the only thing tito could do is try and stall him on the ground, and i don't think that would happen.
I think it could because Tito for his flaws is a very strong 205 pound fighter and has good submission defense remember this man did pretty well in the ADCC tournment a few years ago most think he beat Arona and trains with Dean Lister all that and like I said hes strong he could smother the smaller Silva on the ground a very dehydrated Lutter almost stopped Silva on the ground and when we talk prime Ortiz we talk about a top level ground and pound guy. It would be a cool fight **** id like to see it know. PS very true Silvas a better striker then Liddell but dont tell that to Dana White :roll:
Silva had just has knee surgery before the lutter fight so i aint sure if that is a good comparison. Also tito is overated i think in his prime nobody was that well rounded so his style worked really well, when he fought guys who where better he lost, who has he ever really beaten, i know he has had some decent wins but the only win he has had against a guy at the top of his game was evan tanner.
