Win or lose, Wanderlei Silva needs to drop weight classes

At his peak, Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva was the most feared fighter in the world. His ultra-aggressive style won fans over worldwide and he became a dominant force in PRIDE. Silva is the only fighter to beat Rampage Jackson twice and held the PRIDE Middleweight Title for over five years. He looked as if he was unbeatable when he beat Jackson the second time in October 2004. Since that fight Silva is only 4-4, including a loss to long-time rival Chuck Liddell at UFC 79 in which Silva returned to the UFC after a seven year absence.

A drop down to 185 would be a good move for Silva. He is a very small light heavy. A Franklin vs Silva (relax Rich, that's Wanderei, not Anderson) would be fun to watch.

the guy is small for light heavy, but he's one bad ass motherfucker at that weight class. he tore up Rampage jackson twice at that weight

I guess when he fought in Japan they didn't test for roids and a whack of the PRIDE guys were juiced... He looked very small againts Chuck... If he wins I say he stays at 205 lbs... He's a big money fighter and another fight with Rampage is a given.
