Dana white has came out and said how Anderson wants to fight Cung Le, a fighter who he towers over. Anderson also stated he wants to fight GSP over Jones because he would get hit less. Are we seeing the beginning of him picking and choosing his opponents? He doesn't want to fight Weidman who is excellent on the ground which is Anderson's weakest part of his game. He doesn't want to fight Vitor again either because he knows Vitor has lethal hands. He is looking to fight smaller opponents instead of cashing in on mega fights towards the end of his career.

He has the right to be picky, I believe. But the time between defenses has to be shorter. All the top contenders just lost. I like weidman but in this case I hope they fight and Anderson destroys him just to put him in his place

He wanted the super fight and GSP strung him along for years. He now said he has a lot of competition at 170 first. So he picks a guy coming off a loss who hasn't had a UFC win in almost 2 years.
So if GSP has the right to choose opponents, ANderson does too.
It is a sad day when people say the best of all time is ducking a guy with 9 fights. As if a guy with 9 fights and asking for a title shot from the sidelines (he's injured) deserves anything.
Problem is the contenders are losing. Chael can be goofy and say retarded things. GSP can choose fights. But when Anderson does either...people get up in arms. I don't get it.

He called out Cung because GSP is a girl.

you are mistaken me for an anderson hater....simple fact is he is the GOAT imo, but when you only want to fight guys half your size that makes me wonder why?
go up and fight jon jones who isnt that much bigger than you, the difference between silva and GSP is far greater in size than between jones and silva.
something fishy is going on here people....dont be an ignorant covers poster and just blast everyone's opinion, think about it

Btw. I don't think Dana mentioned that a Le fight is in the works. What I heard him say in refernce to that is "that's just soares talking". And also that a weidman fight is closer than you think. Time will tell

Silva has 3 title defenses in 2 years. That is pathetic. UFC fails for allowing this. Anyone not defending a belt regularly in a reasonable time frame should lose it.
None of the fighters should be deciding who they fight next, either. The champ should be taking all comers and whoever the UFC decides to put up against them. The UFC will regret if they follow this path of allowing fighters to pick fights like what happens in boxing.

2. If he is, he probably wants to fight a real martial artist. Say what you will, Cung has some of the best background in striking. Maybe he wants to fight a striker.
GSP has 2 title defenses in the last 2 years. Hell only 2 fights.
MW is just lacking right now. The #1 contender supposedly has 9 focking fights. Bisping was going to get it, now he lost. Belcher lost. Lombard screwed up his debut.
Personally I wouldn't mind Vitor 2. Or Lombard after he smokes Okami. Weidman wouldn't be bad, but if at best he comes back by July 4th weekend as he says, then I'm not sure that makes sense.
He isn't going to fight Cung Le anytime soon. But if Sonnen can get a 205 title shot. Frankie can at 145 off 2 "losses". And GSP can choose to fight Diaz over Hendricks....then I don't see how anyone is surprised. As if Anderson is doing the unthinkable. No one is establishing themselves at 185 that is the problem, there are no big names. Weidman was, then he went on got hurt when he had a showcase fight against Boetsch.

1. I doubt he is that serious about Cung

Does A.Silva Have legit competition is the real question?
this is exactly the question that came to my mind... it's hard to say Silva is ducking people when it is clear there is nobody worth ducking out there in his division...

LOL @ THIS... a few years back everyone was screaming for a GSP vs Anderson fght... now he wants to do it and he is ducking ppl? Weidman hasn't beat anyone and really doesn't have a name... he has already beat Vitor... beating either of them does nothing for him and his legacy. At this pt he is just fighting for himself and wants exciting fights that interest him.

Not to mention that Chris is not a better wrestler than Chael or Okami... the fight probably wudn't even get to the ground and Anderson would just KO him or TKO him on the feet.... Chris is just a product of the UFC Hype train like Munoz was.... at this pt there really isn't a threat to Anderson at MW.

GSP hurt and out for a year and still is the super fight? Why isnt Silva/Jones the more logical fight? Cause neither of these guys want that fight, nor does the UFC.
Just for the record.

If you were Silva would you want to fight Jones?? No one wants to fight Jones. Sonnen is only doing it for the payday, when you have 12 losses who cares if you pick up another.

listen up vincent....who the darn are you to tell anyone to "stfu"
if you are the baddest man on the planet then you shouldn't be requesting to face smaller opponents, you should be facing the toughest test that there is, and that is currently Jon Jones, so either face him and shut me up, or please shut the darn up yourself and do not troll my thread.
Thanks

^this is an mma forum. The point is to talk about mma. Should we just watch sports and have no negative or positive opinions either way? You train mma, hats of to ya I don't have the motivation to, or possibly am not skilled enough to. But I went to the batting cages last week. Am I more qualified to critique baseball than you are?
