    No!

    Diaz is clowns and a wanna be (so is his brother) and to quote Chael Sonnen "Silva Sucks".

    He was one of the greatest fighters in history. Beating Diaz proves nothing.

    If Anderson wins by KO, I think he deserves another rematch against Chris Weidman.

    I also want to see Nick Diaz fight CM Punk. Now that's going to be a lot hype and exposure for this matchup much like the rivalry between Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar.

    He needs to do more than beat a overrated welter weight fighter to deserve another middle weight title shot. Plus Weidman already has two clean wins on him.

    In my opinion the best thing to do is keep Silva out of the middle weight title picture. Have him move up to light heavy weight or use him for dream fights. He has enough drawing power with his name that he does not need a title to make the UFC money.

    If you think nick diaz is overrated you know nothing about martial arts. He is one of the few real martial artists left that goes in to fight for the finish..

    Even if Anderson wins I think he is going to fight a few more times before he gets another crack at Weidman. I think Weidman will lose his belt before Silva could potentially get the rematch. Something about Weidman tells me he is going get caught soon.

    Dana will protect Punk as long as he is bringing in that WWE fanbase and their $$$. There is a no way a 36 year old with very limited experience and no real fights under his belt is going to beat any top 20 fighter in any weight class. Hell, I'll bet Rousey would smoke CM Punk without breaking a sweat in the octagon.

    Maybe I'm alone on this but I don't care about this fight.
    TBH I wish the fight wasn't even happening.

    I have no love for either of the Diaz brothers.

    I am a huge Spider fan and have not missed a fight of his in goodness knows how long but I won't watch this one. I wish he retired after the last Weidman fight. I'd rather he and Hendo just call it a career and bask in their greatness and let us fans remember them as how they were.


    (Or maybe it's just the leg and the last Weidman fight that have effed up my mind).
