Silva and Sherk were very impressive. I don't know if any of the current crop of UFC 155's can beat Sherk. He's like a mini-Matt Hughes. The only guys who can compete with him are BJ Penn (if he moves down from 170), Gilbert Melendez and Takanori Gomi (PRIDE) and maybe JZ Calzan (American Top Team fighter in K-1 Hero's).
As for Silva, this totally opens up the division. I'm sure Dana and Xyience aren't happy about this b/c Rich is one of their few marketable fighters. Maybe Dan Henderson will come to UFC from Pride.
Watch out for Jon Fitch at 185.
Also, Cheick Kongo proved tonight that the UFC Heavyweight Division is a joke. I thought he was the easiest pick on the board besides Jardine. I think Tim Sylvia is barely a top-5 heavy in all of MMA. He would get killed by Fedor, CroCop, Noguiera and Barnett (who are all in Pride).
Pride Vegas show next week fellas.
