they way i would like to see it play out is
okami next
winner of bisping/leben fights hendo for next shot
winner of mai/quarry fights marquart for next shot
if anderson wins all three (four if you include cote) of his next defenses i would want him to vacant the 185 belt and move on to try and dominate the 205 division
p.s. the only problem with this plan is it has some fighters sitting out for to long waiting for a shot

My bad for not putting Okami up but as soon as I put hendo up I hit enter by mistake, I think that Okami is definetaly deserving.

It should be Yushin Okami even though I think he's hurt.
I agree, and after that I believe (if he keeps winning) Nate Marquardt needs another shot. I honestly am starting to believe Marquardt can beat Anderson a second time around.

true..Okami does deserve a title shot..but they haven't gave him one yet..but i don't think Nate will be able to beat Silva a second time around..Nates strikin is great..but i think Silva is too good at that..meanin Silva does have pin-point and unbelievable KO power...

Like everyone else is saying Okami SHOULD get it but IMO Maia will.

hendo v. marquardt should be a future #1 contender bout (please happen)
not sure what okami's injury timeline is but aside from the aforementioned bout the winner of bisping v leben versus the winner of leites v relijic should be up for a #1 contender elimination bout
the winner of the maia v quarry fight should be considered top tier as well
i also think palhares looked good enough in losing to be mentioned
after that it's a ghost town, but this still leaves plenty of intriguing matchups to keep silva from claiming total dominance

i think that avenging a loss in mma, is like, breathing for humans. his 1st fight a 2 rd.(10 min./rd.) decision loss to Azeredo must have taught him endurance.
his 11th fight he got sub by Takase(1st rd.via tri-choke) which must have taught him to be careful. his 15th fight (if u havent seen it its hard to believe it!) sub. loss to Chonan. that must of shown him anything is possible. expect the unexpected?? #18 is his last loss to Okami kick him in the face while he had Okami in his guard.!?
So his next 2 fights will not matter.(and im canadian). But untill he has the chance to avenged those earlier losses we wont see the true evolution of a fighter/ and of fighting.
cote? bisping?and when he's finishes them, then he'll show his greatness.
And then he will retire the greatest of our time!!!!!!!!

hopefully Anderson fights at LHW next
the winner of Maia/Quarry should face Okami when he recovers and then move in line for a title shot
If Bisping beats Leben then he should face Henderson for the number 1 contender spot after the TUF show and after the aboves title shot

Okami, then Bisping if he can get past Leben and another higher ranked fighter like Hendo, Reljic, I would actually like to see Hendo fight Marquardt then winner of that get title shot...

I'd like to see him face Hendo again. Hendo looked much better in his second fight back at 185 and I think the cut hurt his stamina. I think Hendo could beat Anderson but it would more then likely be via control(little boring). I don't see anyone at 185 who could beat Hendo out side of Marquardt so I'm confident we'll get to see Hendo and Anderson II.

I agree. Hendo was definitely off that night. And now he knows Silva's skill level. I think Hendo would perform much better the next time around.
If not Hendo, Marquardt. I think he will do much better also.
