Maybe, but is there really a whole new crop of guys--at least guys who could realistically fight for the title--today than there was 2 years ago? Not really. Still Machida, Rashad, Shogun, Rampage. . .
JONES was the new crop. So I guess maybe we could get another Jones.
Phil Davis was not even in the UFC 2 years ago, Jones was coming off a win over Jake Obrien. Bader (not a contender now, but was) had only a win over Carmelo Marrero. Gustaffson had not fought in the UFC yet (i know he is not a contender yet, but he is one win away from being in the picture).

Well if Thiago Silva strings some wins together and beats a name guy he can get the shot. I think Thiago has legit shots at beating lil nog, franklin, and tito.
I second that but not because I think he will get a title shot anytime soon. I just think he is really fucking good. He was ko'd by machida, but machida is one of the best fighters in the world. Thiago outwrestled b vera for 3 rounds like he was a toy, granted he was on roids at the time. However I think most of them take roids of some kind. Aside from that he has great ko power and a black belt in jiu jitsu. All those three components make for a great fighter.
Nog is probably going to perform better this time around. His knees and hips will be in better shape and he will most likely not be coming off of staph.

He is still a shot fighter. Nog was getting tagged pretty bad by Schaub until glass chin got caught ,wouldnt be surprised if the Mir fight went the same way minus the glass chin.
Yeah you could be right. Something to consider is the fact that nog pushed his recovery to fight there. We could see a nog a little better than that. I can't call this one.
