Hard fight to pick a winner imo. Probably gpnna be a stand up war with some one gettin the tko. If I had to pick, I’d lean towards Silva, but I’ll probably change my mind a million times till the fight

Easy pick...

Rashad is faster and hits harder than Silva and Silva hasn’t shown much of anything in any of his fights to make us think that he’s a top contender yet. Rashad has much better footwork than Silva and with Silva’s aggressive style…Rashad’s counter punching style is going to play right into his game plan.

Plus Rashad wants revenge for Silva KOing his BFF.

I'm kind of a big deal.

On paper.....

it makes sense, knocking out Jardine and beating Rashad but the problem is he had his chance and it wasn’t even close…..and Shougun vs Machida is not happening intil May…or you make Shogun vs Sliva, Forrest vs Sliva or Shogun vs Forrest rematch

GOOD LUCK

He is not even close to deserving another shot. He was completely destroyed in his fight against Machida and he has demonstrated anything to indicate that it wouldn’t be a repeat.

I think he will have 1 more

If he beats Rashad, I think he will have one more fight, maybe against Lil Nog in a contender fight. Win or lose, if Rampage comes back thats who Rashad fights next.

Agreed, he needs at least 1 more win

Put him against Lil Nog or Forrest if he gets past Rashad—which I don’t think will happen. Hopefully we’ll finally get to see Rashad-Rampage after he beats Silva, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Rashad-Forrest 2 if Page is still AWOL.

winner fight lil nog?

with the shogun/machida rematch set to take place in may, winner of this fight could fight lil nog. I know lil nog shouldn’t get a title shot after two fights but with wins over cane, either one of these two fighters would be quite impressive and i personally wouldnt complain seeing him fight the champ. we’ve seen title shots in a lot less.

Will Lil nog fight Machida?

With that little group of friends, I don’t think any of them will fight eachother.

Yea but Machida has been training at Black House less and less and more in Belem. I heard somewhere also that Ed Soares said they would be open to fight.

He wont beat Rashad. Greg Jackson will gameplan for it well after seeing Silva vs Jardine

What could they

have learned in the Jardine fight? All I learned was that he hit Jardine hard as hell and I havent heard anything from Jardine since. I also learned that Jardine didnt even put up a fight against Silva. I dont know how to make a gameplan with that info…

Jackson will say

You see this part here where Keith stuck his face in front of Silva’s fist? Don’t do that. Wow, I’m a super-genius fight strategist too now.

I'm kind of a big deal.

They learned that Jardine doesn't belong in the UFC

Dana may keep him around as a gatekeeper, or throw him against Tito for fun, but Jardine has proven that he can’t hang with any of the top LHW’s in the UFC.

agreed

and hes a weird looking mofo, hes been in one or two good ones in fairness but no legend

I wouldn’t say deserving yet considering that weight division is really stacked. If he beats Evans plus one more win after that, then i’d give him a shot.
