“We are fine if this is what the UFC wants, but if you look at this logistically, Sonnen should fight Demian Maia first. Demian beat up easily, by submission, so why not make them fight first, to determine who gets a shot at the title?”
Yep, that’s Ed Soares vetoing another title contender for Anderson Silva. It’s definitely becoming a pattern. First it was Dan Henderson, then it was Nate Marquardt followed by Vitor Belfort. Basically no one in the middleweight division is worthy enough to fight Anderson Silva if you ask Soares. Good thing he’s not the matchmaker, otherwise Silva would never fight anybody.

put up or shut up. Anderson Silva is the man, but he has to prove it and continue proving it. Combat sports dont let people retire unscathed because the nature of success revolves around the desire for more, never knowing hen enough is enough. Ed Soares, let Silva fight who they throw at him, and let him keep proving his self and bettering his already amazing legacy
Who cares. It will happen regardless, and Sonnen gets stomped anyway.
Maia already tapped Sonnen out…Silva should move up to light heavyweight permanently if he wants to fight more recognizable fighters and fatten his pocketbook
word.
I think when you are a champion you should fight any challenger cuz the only reason why you wouldn’t fight somebody is fear of losing
im personally gertting really sick of anderson silva and ed soares and will be rooting for him to lose no matter who he faces next.
anderson silva is not gonna lose for a very long time
