Today on the Spike, with the UFC season 1 reunion, Dana White said a 155 pound kid might be the new Anderson Silva. I hope that is true, I hope.

Are you serious? Yeah Dana White is going to put a 155 pounder up against a 205 pounder for a contract.
Obviously there's going to be 2 contracts, thats why they have divisions in the UFC, so people don't get man-handled by people bigger or better then themselves.

Joe Duerta is supposed to be the Andy Silva type guy.
He moves like Anderson, very dance like. He just grooves.

Watch how no one knows how to pronounce Krzysztof Soszynski 's name right. Or spell it for that matter.
