the article is on bloodyelbow.com. it says silva didnt get surgery and would be ready for a fight in nov or maybe a new years fight. the article talks about how couture and silva would really like to fight each other. also says after silva watched couture fight big nog, silva said he became more of a couture fan because of the effort he gave aganist nog. interesting article.
also says couture would open close to a +400 dog. but that might be the only way to sell Couture's next fight.
whats everyone's take on it?

He's using the elbow surgery to get what he wants. Does he need surgery? Probably, but it isn't major. If he doesn't get the fight he wants, he'll have the surgery to force the UFC into postponing it, or setting up a different match. It's a smart move. Anyway, I don't see the need for him or want to see him fight two guys he has beaten in a row.

If thats really true than I understand his point. I still think it's wrong tho, you fight who your boss wants you to fight. Thats the kind of sh!t certain boxers use to pull in the past and I just don't want to see that garbage in mma.

My thoughts on AS fighting Randy are this..... Randy, please don't do it. NOG was dropping you, for crying out loud.! Anderson will toy with Randy just like he with Forrest. I don't care how good his g-r is, don't care how good his clinch and dirty boxing game is, don't care how good a shape he is in, 46 or not, he simply does not have the speed in his hands or quickness in his stand up defense it's going to take for ANYONE to beat Anderson Silva.
Never mind his M-T or BJJ, his striking is the most incredible aspect of his game and as Nog just showed once again, Randy has never been too hard to hit and he WILL get hit by AS and he WILL get KTFO.
Huge fan of Randy and will argue all day long he's as big a legend as MMA has seen so far. But guys like AS and Machida are on a whole other level. A level that Randy is NOT on. Of course AS wants to fight Randy. Why wouldn't he???

Couture/Silva is just a bad matchup.
However, Couture's only 2 fights removed from being HW champion. He should fight winner of Machida/Shogun for LHW title. It would be marketable and would add to Machida's ranking with a win over a hall of fame legend in Couture (of course assuming Machida beats Shogun).
Anderson Silva should replace Rampage in December. Am I alone in thinking Silva/Evans would be a potentially great fight? Marquardt/Hendo fight for no. 1 contender and in meantime Silva fights Evans at LHW.
Everybody wins!

The last thing I want to see is for Randy to get absolutely slaughtered by Anderson Silva. If Chuck Liddell did what he did to Randy then Anderson might bring about the first death in the octagon.

Randy will probably be to slow. Who knows though. I would watch the master game planner!@

I'd rather see Silva vs. Hendo or Silva vs. Marq before this matchup. Why on earth do we need to see Couture fight one of the best P4P fighters on the planet? It might sell but it would be a horrible fight.

I think this would play at the same as Evans/Machida. I'd be much more interested in seeing the eventual Evans/Rampage match up.
I think Silva/Couture would be a horrible match up as well.

If the younger and more agile Dan Henderson couldn't apply the same game plan effectively (clinch, TD, GnP) then it is hard for me to believe that Randy will be able to do the same thing to a more disciplined and even more dangerous Anderson Silva.

I honestly don't want to see this s---. Randy vs AS is kind of a joke. AS needs to defend his MW belt and cut the bulls---. Dan Henderson is waiting.

As much as I want to see Marquardt and Hendo fight, I can't help but agree with you.

Why should AS have to make a defense vs Hendo who he already beat? I don't think it's an urgent matter ... it's not like their first fight was some epic war that everyone is dying to see again. If anything, GSP should have to rematch Jon Fitch before AS should have to rematch Hendo ... I mean at least AS finished Hendo.

I think GSP's victory was just as convincing as AS's. GSP maybe didn't finish but he didn't lose a round and won some of the rounds by total annihilation. But Hendo did win the first round and many believe his loss in the second round was him being sloppy and trying to stand with AS instead of taking him down again.
And to answer the very first question you asked...."Why should Matt Hughes have given GSP a rematch after he already beat him once?"

No kidding, we don't need to see Randy fight the winner of Machida/Rua, when other guys are doing work in the LHW division, and actually winning fights.

So since Hendo decided to try and stand with Anderson, which led to him getting rocked and eventually finished, then Anderson is obliged to give him a rematch? I don't think Anderson should really have a say in this, but I personally don't want to see a AS vs Hendo rematch. Hendo won the first round via Lay n' Pray, landing 1, possibly 2 good elbows while he was on top. I really don't want to see him attempt 5 rounds of that, nor do I want to see Anderson beat him up again.
Honestly Anderson should just abandon the MW title, let Hendo/Marquardt fight for it and move to 205 for his last three fights, since we all know he's going to fight RJJ after his UFC contract expires.
