Penn left as champion over a dispute with Dana.
he was the reason for the champion's clause
it wasnt added until he came back from japan
they stripped him of the belt, penn took the ufc to court to hold on to the belt but was unsuccessful.
If Silva moves up to full time LHW then Dana would vacate the MW belt and have a fight between the top "contenders" in his opinion for a new champ.
I would not be surprised if you see Silva/Couture down the road at 205. Would be a huge fight for the UFC. Randy is a UFC "legend" and Silva is, argubably, the best p4p fighter in the world. Couture held the LHW at one time.
ed soares, silva's manager, said the reports of telling dana he wants anderson to stay at 205 are false. he said silva is def. not gonna vacate the title, and will fight at least one more at 185.
silva/couture would be very interesting, but im not sure randy can offer that much of a challenge. he beat chuck to win the LHW title the first time by taking him down and g'n'p, but anderson's ground game is miles ahead of chuck's.
i could see randy coming in for a TD and getting kneed into oblivion.
that one fight will be against Henderson....Silva needs to fight Okami, he's ducking him! lol
haha, ive heard hes ducking everyone from okami to marquart/maia
i would like to see him destroy okami, when people see it as a Silva loss, they dont realize he got DQ'd for knocking okami out with an upkick lol
