The UFC MW Division

What you guys want to see after Silva - Franklin ?

I want to see Ryan Jensen vs Kendall Grove ... even that Thailes submitted him I really liked his style as he looked really good and confident in his stand-up.

Martin-Cote > There's a topic talking about this already.

Who's next for the Silva-Franklin winner ?

i think if martin beats leben(and he probably should) then hes the guy. theres the chance that rich could win the belt back which would probably mean the rubber match between those 2 would be the next MW title fight. there are not a lot of intriguing contenders for the belt after franklin and silva though.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh, how bout Henderson...unification would only make sense.

The winner of Macdonald vs Okami will get the shot uf henderson doesnt. and where the hell is martin kampmann he needs to get back n the mix

If I go by the rankings page, it should be Henderson or Marquardt.

I think Henderson is the only logical choice, even if Ace wins.

i agree that hendo is a great choice, but im waiting to see him say hes going to fight at 185 again before i toss him in the mix, but you hit it on the head about unification being the logical move.

I think that they will bring in Paulo Filho after he wins his 3 fights to beat Anderson

i think dan but he needs to win a fight the the ufc first i think

I'd love to see a unification as well, but I'll assume that isn't going to happen right away. If Okami beats Mcdonald, and Silva beats Franklin, then I'd like to see that re-match. If Mcdonald wins, I guess he'd be in line for a shot at Silva, but I wouldn't give him much of a chance. If it's Franklin,They both have already lost to him, mabey a re-match with Okami would be good, but it seems kinda soon for that. Assuming Martin beats Leban, and then he fights Cote, the winner of that should also be in line for a shot. Hopefully Nate Quarry make great comeback, and gets into the mix quickly. Hopefully the time off helps his career. We also really need Kampmann back, he was looking promising, and is fun to watch. His injury is hurting himself as well as the division. Not a ton of great fights but there is a few.

Dan Henderson should get the winer of the fight with Rich Franklin or Anderson Silva for the middleweight title

I think Kampermann broke his leg( was in cruches and think he had a cast at ufc 71) Training for the franklin fight so it will be a wile. Would love to see some fighters from the LW division drop down and give MW a run

I think Henderson should have on MW fight before going for the title, because it doesnt say good things about your division if a guy can lose his fight in one division, come down and take the title.

I know thats possible, but from a buisness standpoint, i would protect the credibility of the division by making Henderson fight at least once before throwing him in for the title. I would say what the hell give Martin a shot at it if he can beat Leben, he has won enough in a row if he can pull that off. Also I think Okami could be a possibility.

Hendo vs. winner of Franklin/Silva

Kampmann vs. loser of Franklin/Silva

Kampmann is supposed to be done with his post-surgery rehab here in a couple months.

why should he get the winner? he just lost, a lot of UFC only watch UFC and if dan fights the MW and loses a lot of people are going to think pride does not have good fighter, i think he needs to show the UFC fans that he is a great fighter, mma fans no him, but a lot of ppl dont

i think i said that right lol

we want Kampman back!!! NOW!

Kampman vs Okami/McDonald winner should be good

The man had two belts, so what's the difference if he lost one? The UFC is looking to unify belts, so it would make no sense to have Henderson fight anyone else. He doesn't have to prove anything...he's already champ. As for Martin...he would be a good choice if he wins his next match. Okami would depend. If Franklin wins, it would be soon for a title shot, considering Franklin just beat him. If Silva wins, it would be a good oportunity for a Silva/Okami rematch.

Why make hendo fight to unify a title it makes sense just to unify them straight off which will add more credability to the MW title
