Kelvin isn't facing top competition so far at MW. Notice instead of calling out someone like Rockhold or Romero he calls out Silva. Kelvin is too hittable and attacks in straight lines. He would get KOd if he stands either connor for an extended period of time
Tbf, why would he call out them if he has only beaten old guys like Kennedy, Vitor and I think Marquardt. Silva of today is actually not a bad step up for him. He can ask for a Gay Jesus flying knee after that.

I don't mind Silva as his next match-up but I'd prefer Derek Brunson or Uriah Hall. I'd like to see him handle a power striker at 185 with a bit more recent success than Vitor who seems like he's got 2 minutes worth of explosiveness before fading fast.

He already beat Uriah. Uriah is most likely on his way out. He losses one more it's over.

I don't think Hall's the same fighter as when they fought the first time (and that was a competitive fight). Uriah coming out of seemed to have serious mental blocks to go along with his technical flaws. He's still got some bad habits but he fights with a lot more confidence which has helped him cut back on split decision losses. I don't think he's gonna get cut even with the losing streak mainly because Whitaker, Brunson and Mousasi are a trio of killers. Not saying Hall is great or anything but as a gatekeeper for fighters that want to break into the top 10 opposition, I think he makes sense.

None of those 3 are killers, are they even in the top 3? I don't think so. Uriah has actually gotten WORSE....AND he folds under pressure, he'll be in bellator by year end, and I'll make sure to quote this.

Kevin on the other hand is showing some promise and has only lost twice
