Upon further review, the UFC has a deep middleweight division

04 Mar 2008 09:19:08 PST

Written by Sam Caplan
Silva is not an opportunistic fighter. He’s the king of the deepest middleweight division in all of MMA. His reign is legit. Parity is an element that exists in most of the UFC’s weight classes, except for 185 lbs. But how can the UFC remedy the situation?

Anderson "The Spider" Silva @ 205?

06 Nov 2007 08:57:00 PST

Written by Greg Clark
With the news that Anderson Silva is quite comfortable fighting in the Light Heavyweight division brings new hope for the fans of Silva and MMA alike in that, we may very well see a concurrent UFC title holder of two weight classes. The only human to accomplish such a feat is Dan "Hollywood" Henderson when he knocked out Wanderlei Silva for the Pride FC Middleweight title at Pride 33 in February of this year to compliment his existing Pride FC Welterweight belt. Is it possible for Silva to jump up to 205 at a time when the UFC Middleweight division is in such disarry with the dismantling of Franklin (Ranked #2 Middleweight in the UFC) and now the loss of Yushin Okami who was not granted a contract extension by the UFC brass?
