yeah if bones wouldnt have come through smashing everyone i can see silva moving up and trying to go out with a bang taking the title from shogun, rashad, rampage, etc holding the belt.. but bones just a huge lhw and not worth risking the legacy and NO ONE wants to see him hold silva down and try to elbow him to death.. i got silva hurting him in the stand up tho
and bones doesnt need to move up to heavyweight till he has to and his body just gets bulkier.. right now i could see alot of heavyweights beating him just from giving up that strength advantage.. his striking isnt ready, strong pot shots wont work against similar sized or larger opponents.. and his top control wouldnt be as dominating
junior got the heavyweight sown up for a lil while though.. he got all the tools to hold off all the different fighter styles with his defense and boxing.. overeem would have a punchers chance but i think he even gets in on him on wears on him.. if overeem got real technical on the outside with him though?
