^^^^WTF?
Anyway, prime vs. prime, Silva finds a way to get past Luke's wrestling and finishes him. But MW is much better division now, so, if Rockhold can beat Jacare again, Weidman again and beat Romero...you can best bet the Sherdog types will start the "Luke = MW G.O.A.T." chant.
Arlovski vs. Barnett in Germany on September 3....wouldn't mind seeing that a week later on 203 with the other heavyweights but whatever....cool tv main event probably.
Carraway ranked #4...UFC machine pushing the fight we all want vs. Garbrandt...Cody wants it too at 203...but Carraway says it doesn't make sense. thinks it's more sensible to fight winner of Lineker vs Mayday...MayDay ranked #5 and Lineker tied at #9 with Almeida...that's not bad logic but I think Carraway has a better chance vs. Cody than McDonald and I doubt Lineker beats McDonald...even if Lineker beat him...I wouldn't rank him ahead of Cody to the point where Bryan beating him would warrant a title shot...the timeline and momentum is for Bryan and Cody to fight in Ohio this fall...
I'm not gonna ever call a prizefighter a coward...but this looks bad.
It doesn't matter, Silva put on dynamic shows in the octagon all while being dominant. It's one thing to win, but to make it look easy and do it with flare is another.
It's a reason why Weidman never became a draw during his run has champion, he never put on any draw dropping performances.
luke is more fluid and skilled than weidman, but he's nowhere near silva's level of dominance.
