Same stuff Soares has been saying for about a year, now. Although the number of fights left is higher than it's been for a while.

And I reckon we could see Silva vs GSP later this year if both win their next fight. Not sure about Lesnar unless it's maybe a good few fights from now, but expect Silva to move to LHW if Machida loses the belt - especially to Shogun.

Depending on the outcome of the Machida fight, either GSP or Shogun is quite likely next (Shogun if he wins, GSP if Machida wins) - as, for me, it's only Marquart who has a legit shot right now at Middleweight. Sonnen and Maia might grind one out after another couple of wins, so might Wanderlei if he beats Bisping convincingly. But even if Silva fought Marquart next, there's plenty of time for division-hopping for a couple of fights at least after that.

Dream matchups for me are Machida (never gonna happen, sadface), Shogun, GSP. If Anderson can bring his knockout power to heavyweight then Brock Lesnar, Velasquez, and Congo would be interesting matchups. Maybe Frank Mir. He'd never fight a Noguiera, unfortunately, but I can dream.

Something tells me Anderson Silva will be around for a long time to come...

Can you imagine those fights you have mentioned? A. Silva vs GSP, Shogun or even Machida. Thats stuff that will never come along again, epic almost unreal matchups. It doesnt really matter who wins. As long as they fight with all the intention to win they should all be incredible fights. A. Silva vs Brock sounds unlikely to happen. Not that i think that the fighters would say no if they where offered the fight, but i think its a little too much of a freak show matchup for anybody to really find it relevant. I dont know if you agree with me, maybe you would love to see that fight, but personally I dont find it very appealing. Then why not GSP vs Brock?

After all I actually dont care who Anderson Silva will fight next, I just want to see him fight a real hard fight for once.
