UFC 152 Fallout: 8 Matches the UFC Should Make

8. Jon Jones Vs Anderson Silva

Who cares if Dan Henderson beat a fading Shogun Rua, a fading Fedor Emelianenko and a beyond faded Babalu? Notice the pattern? He also got dominated and defeated by Jake Shields. People thought Vitor Belfort had almost no chance against Jon Jones, Dan Henderson has even less. A puncher€™s chance is negated when he has no way of getting close enough to land and Henderson offers no other problem to the Light Heavyweight Champ. Lyoto Machida? Since getting strangled in the second round of his shot at Jon Jones the Dragon has beaten Ryan €œnever beaten an elite fighter€ Bader and..... well, just Ryan Bader. These guys post no more of a threat to Jones than Vitor did. Instead it€™s time the UFC gave us something worth wading through the dredge of weak shows, thin cards, and injury pull out after injury pull out for. Give us a super fight already. Anderson Silva is fighting Stephan Bonnar, Jones just had to fight Vitor Belfort, both products of their dominant nature cleaning out divisions of fighters who pose them little threat. It€™s time to pit them against each other and make people care about the product again. God knows the UFC needs that right now.
