Friends should fight friends

Yes		80%	(20)
No		8%	(2)
Maybe		12%	(3)

Im saying this because Silva wont fight anyone because they are his friends. im sorry if i had to beat my friend to get to a title and have two titles i would do it in a heart beat.

you got to remember, it's nto just friends it's training partners too.

they know ALL your weaknesses and ALL your weaknesses so it's a double whammy.

it's a automatically 10x more dangerous fight than normal.

yea but you also know all of there weaknesses and strengths they know you you know them i would still do it.

He wont fight Machida (good friend) and Wandy (good training partner), but he will be going back down anyway. I mean he is really close to them, and he respected Rich greatly but wasnt afraid to break his face twice, so obviously he is extremly close to them.

I think friends should fight friends if they are in the same weight division, but being that they are in different weight classes, its not a necessity for them to fight each other, so why do it if he doesnt have to? he can just stay at MW and dominate.

The question was "would you" and yes I would......and do all the time. There is something oddly bonding about punching, throwing, and twisting your friends arms up. Now they also know what I will do for them in fights as well as I know them. Let it be known that we only go about 60%-75%. Now if there was a title and several hundred thousand dollars in between us....then still yes, I'd wipe the floor with them.

there could be some pretty good battles
hendo/lindland
wand/shogun
fitch/kos/swick
a.silva/lil nog (the reason i didn't say filho is cause i think anderson would **** him up)
griffin/maynard/stevenson/danzig

I would dodge a friend or a training partner unless it was a contender/title fight. No reason to take such a dangerous fight unless it's for something big. I can understand not wanting to fight a friend but I would do it.
