Anderson Silva has gon on record as saying that when his contract is up with UFC and he retires from MMA that he wants to box against Roy Jones Jr.
My thinking is that he has 3-4 fights left with UFC and then he will make the jump.
Who do you think his next 4 fights will be against?
1- Thales Leites - we already know this one
2- Pat Militech - Pat is planning to return and this would be a great big money fight for any MMA fan
3- Michael Bisping - This one will happen after Bisping vs. Henderson ( even though I think Henderson can beat Bisping )
4 - Georges St. Pierre - This would be his last fight for UFC and a mega superfight that would sell out faster than a Kimbo Slice opponent.
Who do you think and please explain why.
Enjoy

1 - Thales Leites - That's a gimme.
2 - Nate Marquradt - I think this would be a solid rematch as Marquardt has become a much better fighter and has adopted a much better stand-up game since become a part of the GSP-training-clique. It would be an easy sell for a rematch.
3 - Georges St. Pierre - That would be the biggest fight UFC could ever produce and would draw HUGE numbers.
4 - Demain Maia - VERY interesting match up. One I believe Silva would not win. This dude is a machine!

1. Thales Leites
2. Dan Henderson or Michael Bisping - Hendo has wins over Franklin and Rousimar Palhares with his last loss being to Silva in a match where he did look good. Bisping has three straight wins over gatekeepers in the UFC. So I expect Hendo to get a shot.
3. Yushin Okami - One of the guys who has beat Silva, 4-1 over his last 5 fights beating Mike Swick, Jason MacDonald, Evan Tanner, & Dean Lister with his only loss coming to Rich Franklin. Has a fight vs Dan Miller coming up, he'll win. One big win away from a title shot I'd guess.
4. Demian Maia - I actually think he should get the shot first, but he dosnt have the name. Expect the UFC to want him to beat another "big name" guy before a shot.
5. Nathan Marquardt - Needs another big win. Maybe him vs. Okami or him vs. Maia and that guy can get a title shot.
for a Silva vs. GSP fight to happen both need to be out of contenders. I think Sivla has at least two more fights left to "test" him. In either Bisping/Hendo being one fight and the next being one of Maia/Marquardt/Okami.

1. Thales Leites
2. Chuck Liddell- This was rumored to happen and personally I have never liked Chuck so I'd like to watch him get killed.
3. Yushin Okami- They should allow him to avenge the loss he got.
4. GSP- Speaks for itself
5. Demian Maia- The more I watch this man fight the bigger fan I am. He pulls off some of the most beautiful submissions I have ever seen.
