He's a deserving fighter, yeah, but I don't think he's deserved it that fast in the LHW division. There are alot of great fighters in that division, Anderson only adding to the list. He derseves a shot, yeah, just not so soon.

I think if he tries to fight 4 fights within a year he is gonna get burnt out from overtraining,and will experience his first loss in the UFC!

Getting to see Silva fight in Atlanta would be unreal. I really hope this goes as planned. That would turn the card from good to great for me.

since winning the belt, anderson has fought more often than any other champion in the UFC. at least we don't have to worry about him being on the shelf for 6 months while he coaches TUF.

actually, i got an idea for TUF9. 16 middleweights, every 3 days one of them fights Anderson. those that can make it out of the first round get a contract.
