Although I dont follow UFC as much as I used to, myself and a mate at work were discussing the other day, how the champions in each division seem to be so far ahead of everyone else. Penn, GSP and Silva are completely dominant in their respective divisions, and altho i consider Machida and Lesnar to be slightly weaker than the first 3, but they still have to be beaten, and im left scratching my head as to who will do it (Although I am aware Warlord is convinced its already been done by Shogun).

The best I can offer is that I think Anderson could beat Machida, nbt since they wont fight eachother, where is the end of the current dominance of the divisions going to come from?

Thoughts???

BJ Penn — Frankie Edgar won, however, I still gave BJ three of the five rounds. I still find that beating the champ to be the champ holds no water in the UFC.

GSP — As soon as the UFC puts him in the cage against someone with some substance, it will happen. *coughs* Anderson Silva.

Anderson Silva — No one, but himself and Father Time.

Lyoto Machida — Shogun Rua shows promise, he may end up doing it a 2nd time. Rogeiro or Anderson, but neither of them will fight their own bretheren.

Brock Lesnar — I give Carwin a slight chance of beating Lesnar, but due to height restrictions and Brock's speed and agility for his size just dwarfs anything Carwin can bring to the table, short of a lucky TKO.

Lyoto Machida and Shogun Rua would disagree.

GSP would be fighting above his own weight-class in that fight.

Anderson Silva — No one, but himself and Father Time.

Hyperbole. Shogun Rua takes Anderson down and mauls him on the ground. I think you should do back and watch some old Pride fights to get a better picture of Shogun Rua, and Anderson Silva.

Lyoto Machida — Shogun Rua shows promise

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Really? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) He's done more, and has a better track record than, Lyoto Machida. Again, check out some old Pride shit. I think SpikeTV is airing their "Best of..." series in order to help new fans get up to speed.

Brock Lesnar — I give Carwin a slight chance of beating Lesnar, but due to height restrictions and Brock's speed and agility for his size just dwarfs anything Carwin can bring to the table, short of a lucky TKO.

I expect Carwin to win that fight. His stand-up is superior, and he has a good ground-game as well. It sounds as if you've bought the UFC hype machine. Don't.
