    Silva already beat Jackson twice!
    Not to mention Shogun and Silva are best friends who train in the same academy.

    Oh.
    Yes, I do too. Henderson is good but he is a naturally smaller man and getting quite old now (37) I think Rampage takes that fight. I think Shogun gets the winner of Hendo/Rampage.

    I reckon Shogun would beat Rampage for a second time, he's improved alot on the ground,he has much faster handspeed than Jackson and I don't think Rampage has an answer to those knees.

    I also think Shogun would beat Chuck, as Chuck is becoming slower and sloppier each time we see him. He too is 37.

    I see maybe Sokodjou being a threat and possibly Manhoef.
    Apart from them two, I don't know who could knock SHogun off from being Champion.

    Oh, the only thing I will say is that I am pretty sure Shogun came in weighing more than Coleman for their fight.

    But of course, that doesn't stop the loss from being a complete freak accident and a fluke for Coleman.

    Shogun did repeatedly post a single arm to try and stop a takedown, its gonna break sooner or later if you keep doing that. His left one almost broke on the slam from guard earlier in the match.

    Silva had also beaten CroCop and Henderson before but look what happened in the past year he was put in the hosiptal when he woke up. Silva needs to retire soon to avoid being put to sleep agian this time vs Liddell. However Silva does want to **** Chuck so it could be a crazy fight.
