W skórcie: Silva na konferencji prasowej po gali powiedział, że chciałby iść kategorię wyżej (tzn. zostać w tej, w której właśnie walczył), ale pod warunkiem, że nie każą mu walczyć z Machidą, bo raz, że ten jest większy, dwa - są kumplami, wreszcie trzy - ma odpowiednie umiejętności, żeby Silvę pokonać.PHILADELPHIA – Despite his success in the 205-pound division, including a first-round shellacking of former champ Forrest Griffin at Saturday's UFC 101 event, Anderson Silva's next challenge will likely come in the middleweight division.
Sticking with a recently revealed game plan, UFC president Dana White said Silva's next fight will "probably" be against Dan Henderson, whom the Brazilian has already beaten once before.
Silva didn't exactly applaud the decision in the night's post-fight press conference at Philadelphia's Wachovia Center.
Henderson, who lost to Silva via second-round submission in March 2008, earned a second title shot after a brutal knockout of Michael Bisping last month at UFC 100 (and earlier victories over Rousimar Palhares and Rich Franklin). Silva has breezed through the 185-pound division since winning the title from Franklin in 2006, and he's repeatedly stated he only wants big fights.
And based on the less-than-enthusiastic look on his face when White mentioned it, Silva doesn't seem to think the Henderson rematch is one of them.
Silva (25-4), who's now 10-0 in the UFC with 11 straight victories overall, first moved up to the light-heavyweight division in mid-2008, when he easily disposed of non-contender James Irvin in a non-title fight. Griffin, a more well-rounded fighter with considerable size for the weight class, was expected to present Silva a legit challenge. Silva, though, easily toyed with his opponent and continually dropped Griffin with counter-shots before earning a knockout win just four minutes into the first round.
After a pair of lackluster title defenses over Patrick Cote and Thales Leites in his previous two fights, some wondered if the mystique and seeming invincibility of Silva had worn off. The Griffin win should put any doubts to rest.
In addition to Henderson, the UFC's middleweight division boasts other contenders such as the long-overlooked Yushin Okami, undefeated Demian Maia and previous title challenger Nate Marquardt. At best, each would be a fairly serious underdog against Silva, though.
That's why the topic of Silva staying in the 205-pound division – possibly against current champ Lyoto Machida – was broached in the post-fight presser.
Silva, though, quickly dismissed the possibility.
"He's my friend, he's my brother, and there's no way that fight happens," Silva said through manager and translator Ed Soares.
Silva was also quick to caution that he's a smaller 205-pounder and that Machida has the skills to beat him anyway.
One other possibility, though even more of a longshot than a Machida fight, is an MMA bout with boxer Roy Jones Jr. Over the past year, Jones and Silva have both openly campaigned for it – much to the chagrin of White.
Jones' team even issued a press release prior to UFC 101 stating the 40-year-old boxer would be in Philly to scout Silva's performance.
When asked about the fight, which has reportedly already been signed for Silva's post-UFC run, White was quick to dismiss it.
"I just don't see a point," White said. "This is MMA. This is what we do. ... (But) I respect the sport of boxing."
