Dana White on the Middleweight Landscape

If I may respectfully disagree, I think that Anderson can and will destroy with ease the entire light heavy weight division possibly except machida because I don't think they will fight. However, I think he could absolutely fight brock lesnar as his next fight and I would bet Silva as the favorite, the guy is an artist and lesnar is sloppy, big, dumb and has no style. Silva would beat lesnar by staying away and knocking him out just like he did forrest.

Nathan's comment may be the dumbest comment I ever read. If Anderson was to move to HW and fight Brock he would at least be giving up 60 pounds. The added weight Anderson would be putting on would also slow him down a little. Brock is very very fast for someone who has a fighting weight of 280 +. Anderson would have to get close enough to kick or hit him and if he was that close Brock would easily take him down. The only chance Anderson would have would be to get a one shot K.O. or have Brock forget he ever wrestled and try to fight Anderson standing up.

I agree with White in that Silva should first fight the 205 pounders. There are some interesting fights there, none so intriguing as Silva-Machida. That\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s the most intriguing fight the UFC can offer. That said, I look forward to Diego Sanchez fighting BJ Penn.

Still no word whether he'll keep his promise to Hendo that he'll get the next shot at MW title. Brock would snap Anderson like a twig and laugh at his MW punching power.

anderson will destroy anybody in light heavyweight division other than lyoto who i think the onl person that could able not only win but knock him out
