5 Fights For Anderson Silva Should He Beat Nick Diaz
4. Lyoto Machida
Reason: It would be epic (but it will never happen) Anderson Silva vs. Lyoto Machida would basically be an ex-champion vs. ex-champion superfight between two of the most offensively gifted and unique strikers in MMA history. The Spider vs. The Dragon. Two of the very best at middleweight (now that Machida has dropped down from light heavyweight, where he was once champion). Both these men have lost to Christ Weidman in title fights, both have a ton of fight left in them, both can be highly entertaining (but at other times frustrating) - and they train together. Which is, sadly, why this incredible fight will never happen.
