    If they do want Cung to fight Silva then they should do it straight away. If they try and match him up against Franklin or Okami to try and build him up, there's a high chance he loses there. Silva ****s him up, imo.

    The guy with the best chance against Silva is Bisping, he's not the best guy in the division but he has the skillset to not die. Being able to kickbox and do stuff in a clinch is what you need against Silva. Silva wouldn't be so eager to get Bisping in the clinch zone because Bisping can also **** you up pretty badly in a clinch.

    He's not the best guy in the division and he's wouldn't start the fight as a favourite for me, but he has a style and strengths than match up well with Anderson standing up, and I can't see Anderson being able to take him down. I'd say it's a 70/30 Silva fight, which is about as good as anyone gets Vs Anderson.

    Man he has the WORST possible style to face Silva.. the stand there and get your ass whupped style.

    Hendo has the perfect style to beat Silva - power that has to be respected and the ability to dominate from top position on the ground. Anyone standing with Silva gets destroyed, especially a guy levels below like Bisping.

    Bisping is skilled in kickboxing and skilled in a clinch, which matches up well to nullify a lot of what Anderson would try to do to him. I honestly think he'd make it to a decision, though I don't think he'd win.

    Silva is too good on the ground for laying and praying to work, it takes one **** up over 5 rounds to get your **** wrecked.
