Ed Soares Thinks Immediate Rematch "Would Make Sense"

Quote :: Ed Soares, Silva’s manager, made a guest appearance on Sherdog Radio Network’s Beatdown show, where he hinted at another potential immediate rematch between Weidman and Silva:

I mean, GSP’s definitely an option, but like we always say, who knows? At the end of the day, Dana [White] and Lorenzo [Fertitta] decide -- if Anderson decides to come back. There’s a few options. It could be him. It could be who knows, a Michael Bisping?

It could be even a Chris Weidman because at the end of the day, people look at Chris Weidman’s two wins -- and in a way it’s almost unfortunate for Chris -- but like you said, they are controversial wins. Who knows? Maybe even a rematch if it came up would make sense, but like I said, at this point in time I still feel it’s too early to talk about that.

Weidman has yet to even lose a round to Silva, but he is still struggling to find respect these days, despite holding two wins over an all-time great within the same year.

Suspect

It's probably only fair that Silva keeps getting rematches until he wins one.
I'm on board.

Any fight Anderson comes back to will be a huge ppv event. He was and remains a huge draw for MMA fans, haters or nuthuggers. Dana prays every day Anderson will make it back.

Agree.

Looks like he's viewing that more as an option "C". He even mentioned Bisping before Weidman for Christ's sake. Let's not get carried away.

On a side note, I thought Silva had a different manager these days. No?

Let's all just hope for Gecko's sake it's not Bisping... He doesn't need 2 wonky eyes....

Hey, Bisping did recently express regret that he was never in a fight with Silva when he heard that Silva might be done fighting. Well Bisping, you might now get your chance! Great news, right?

Right?

Michael?

this is just crazy. silva should not fight anyone in top ten for at least two fights.
it would be lunacy on his management if they let him fight top tier without testing how he will react to any kind of pressure on the leg, physically and psychologically.

Yeah I'm on record saying I think he should outright retire, but I agree with Commie; I'd at least like to see a quasi tune up fight before he jumps back into the deep end.

haha!

I think Wandy would be a good tune up fight for his return.
Shit, how about HALL!

Agreed with everyone...1 probably 2 tuneup fights before he's back in the title picture.
