People throw around the word 'bum' around way too often. It seems like any fighter outside the top 10 is now considered a bum and sometimes people call fighters who are in the top 10 bums as well. Will Rumble come into the UFC and take the LHW title? No. Will he put on exciting fights? Definite yes. And he's been on a really good tear. People need to realize that if you fight outside the UFC, you're not going to always fight great competition. Rumble is a top 10-15 LHW, puts on exciting fights, has pilled up a good winning streak and looks to have controlled his weight issues, I (and most fans) believe that's more than good enough for a roster spot in the UFC.

205 is at his weakest right now. Yall don't think Rumble could beat any of these guys?

2.Teixera
3.Evans
4.Davis
5.Lil Nog
6.Hendo
7.Shogun
8.Sonnen

9.Mousasi

Rumble would lose to Gus, Glover, Rashad, Davis, Sonnen, Mousasi, and Shogun.

Fights with Lil Nog, Hendo, Bader, Manuwa, and T. Silva would be toss-ups imo.

The former middleweight champion, who had a chat with fans on his official Facebook page on Wednesday, revealed he intends to compete again in a boxing match with former champion Roy Jones Jr.

"When I get better, that’s my biggest goal, especially because I won’t be able to fight MMA too soon," Silva said when asked if he still wants to fight Jones. "Fighting in boxing is in my plans, yes, as soon as I’m able to fight again. And Roy is a big idol."

I’m 100 percent positive that I will be back, but it’s not only up to me. They are helping my recovery and it is super positive thus far. But I need their feedback to be back at 100 percent. I don’t see myself doing other thing, at least for now. It’s not just fighting, it’s also training."

"The Spider" says he’s "not worried about" a rematch with Weidman right now, and his plans for the future include becoming a Hollywood actor.

Anderson needs to retire, his speed, reflexes, and chin isn't what it used to be.
