Without a reasonable doubt, White granted this opportunity to Silva solely to counter the realization that Fedor Emelianenko was fighting for a major title in 2019.
You talk like he's going to beat adesanyaI’m all for letting Anderson jump the line. His time in MMA is short. He was one of the most dominant champions in history and arguably the GOAT. If he can beat Israel he is more than relevant, he is a contender. Why not give him and the fans a chance at a story book ending? Rockhold and Romero are moving up in weightclass. Weismann just lost to Jacare, who is 2-2 in his last 4 with those losses coming to the two guys fighting for the title on Saturday. Not only would I like to see this, but an argument can be made that it makes sense....which is rare for UFC title pictures.
You forgot to put (Robbed of TKO) next to the Bisping fight
I don’t think he will. That’s why I said it would be a story book ending for him. My comments were about what happens “if” he beat AdesanyaYou talk like he's going to beat adesanya
I’m not saying it is justified, but when you take into account beating Israel would probably move him into the top half of the rankings and you consider his body of work, as well as WME’s practice of putting on the biggest fights over the most deserving fights, who from above him on this list would you give the next title shot to?
Who else would they give the shot to?
