Re: Silva vs. Belfort UFC 125
An insult to Leben? I think you get too caught up in this kind of stuff sometimes. These two dudes are going to get in a cage and fucking fight, and they're going to get paid for it. Stann is no scrub, remember he came down from 205. Who would you have Leben fight? Yeah the Wanderlei fight is sexier, but the timing is wrong.
Re: Silva vs. Belfort UFC 125
What do you mean I get too caught up in this stuff? There's something called a ladder in this sport and you're supposed to climb it. Every time you beat someone, at least theoretically, you're supposed to get a more difficult and more notable opponent, until eventually you reach the champ.
I'm just saying I think that, under these terms, Stann is a step back from Akiyama. With that said, fuck it. I agree that there aren't really any high-level middleweights who are available and I always like seeing Leben fight. I just hope we can get a decent line on this one.

Brian Stann is a motherfucking war hero.

Well Couture's different. He's doing his own thing. It's kind of like Lytle. Lytle's on the "Exciting Fights" and "Perennial Gatekeeper" circuits. He's not about climbing ladders and becoming champ.
But I think Leben would genuinely like another crack at Silva.

I will be on Belfort if the line holds.
Re: Silva vs. Belfort UFC 125
If Chael can drop Anderson, Belfort should not be this big an underdog. He has power in his hands.
