Where does A. Silva go from here...

[Bran]

it won't be marquardt. he hasn't had a televised fight in i don't know how long. and i remember watching his fight on ortiz/shamrock3 and the whole time rogan and goldberg kept saying he's near title contention but has yet to really show he deserves it. it'll be franklin since swick's not fighting until april and that's around the time silva should be ready to defend

[Dork8503]

Marquardt likes to stand, and that would be bad for him, but he is also very good on the ground but so is anderson, but im banking it would be a stand up war with anderson tkoing him

[liddell316]

I'd like to see him fight Swick.

[mrpink4147]

i think anderson will have to fight franklin, swick, marquadt i hope swick could pull off the upset

[Rockx]

Swick would lose to marquardt, Franklin, Sallaverry and possibly more...his only good win is beating The Crow..and The Crow was timid in that fight.

Who else has Swick beat? Riggs? come ON!!

[Rockx]

Why do people think this Swick guy should get a shot before Marquardt?

Let's see
Marquardt is 25-6-2
His last few wins have been against:
Win Dean Lister Decision (Unanimous) UFC-Fight Night 8 1/25/2007 3 5:00
Win Crafton Wallace Submission (Rear Naked Choke) UFC-The Final Chapter 10/10/2006 2 1:14
Win Joe Doerksen Decision (Unaminous) UFC 58-USA vs Canada 3/4/2006 3 5:00
Win Ivan Salaverry Decision (Unaminous) UFC-Ultimate Fight Night 8/6/2005 3 5:00

Swick is 10-1
Win David Loiseau Decision (Unanimous) UFC 63-Hughes vs Penn 9/23/2006 3 5:00
Win Joe Riggs Submission (Guillotine Choke) UFC 60-Hughes vs. Gracie 5/27/2006 1 2:19
Win Steve Vigneault Submision (Guillotine Choke) UFC 58-USA vs Canada 3/4/2006 1 2:09
Win Gideon Ray TKO (Strikes) UFC-Ultimate Fight Night 8/6/2005 1 0:22

Just compare the competition at 185 that Marquardt has fought...3 top guys in the weight class, not CANS by any means.

Swick on the other hand? Come ON!!

I wouldnt mind seeing Swick face him even though I know Silva would rock him.

[Thaistylist]

When does Salaverry fight again?

[jlruthven84]

Silva v. Salaverry...now THAT would be something to watch.

I'm betting Franklin gets his rematch next, assuming he does with MacDonald what we all think he's going to do. If Silva gets by him again, then it'll be Swick, provided he beats Okami; he's got the skills plus the air-time. Marquardt is probably a better fighter, and is definitely a contender, but Dana needs to give him more exposure before setting him up for a shot.

My thoughts exactly.

Swick is up-n-coming .... then FRANKLIN gets his re-match!
