Rashad Evans: "I would take a fight against Anderson Silva in a minute."

So Evans is confident he can make 185 lb. So i got to ask, Who do u want to see face Silva?

Evans or Weidman??? My vote on Evans, I think Weidman needs another top 10 victory.

I know a lot of people think he has a questionable chin, but he survives a lot nasty shots like those elbows from Jones.

Only a minute? I thought he'd put up a better fight. Believe in yourself Hashad.

He's lucky if he survives a minute against Silva.

Junglebird

of course he would

sonnen also takes title shots in one minute. it doesn't work out so well, though.

Rashad is durable / Silva smokes 205'ers within 1st round.

Jones can't bust a grape, he even said so at the 155 fan q and a. A jones elbow is no comparison to even a stiff jab from Silva. That said, I'd like to see him fight either of these guys. Wrasslers are the only ones that can remotely challenge Silva.

Duh, that's logical. The guys at MW are smaller and weaker TOO. It's all good.
He'll lose power and strength as from being a very strong LHW to being a very strong MW. The middleweights don't weigh in at 205 but at 185lbs , THEY ARE SMALLER.
Being 5'11" that he is, he will still be shorter than most MWs, so he will be able to carry more muscle than most of them. But with less height disadvantage it will be easier for him to bully guys around.

Anderson gets the KO, way better counter striker than Lyoto and Lyoto put him Evans out cold.
