Jbrahams Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 If you look at the current champion Edgar think of how he got a title shot, he was impressive beating Griffin, Bocek and Fisher before losing to Maynard. Then he beat Franca and Sherk and beats Veach? Then gets the title shot. I know he deserved it but why does he get Veach before his title shot? If your going to try and make him win make it someone with credit. I think you can relate this to George's case, he has been on a roll beating Miles, Mitichiyan, Roop, Dent, Stevenson, Pellegrino, Lauzon and will fight Siver. I know that list might not be as credible as Edgar's but he finished 5 of those 7 fights, whereas Edgar finished 2 and lost one fight. So my theory is kinda that they are giving G-Sot Siver so that it is a competitive fight but George should be able to beat him, not taking anything away from Siver but I think that after this having an 8 fight wins streak in the UFC is pretty good and is worthy of a title shot, he is ahead of anyone else in my opinion whether that be WEC or UFC, the only real contenders I see are the winner of Miller vs Oliveira and possibly Dunham though he lost to Sherk (which he should've won) but Sherk shouldn't get a shot atm either. Well that's my opinion, if you managed to read all of that, thank you and please comment and state your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynan Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Yeah, maybe they're throwing him a gimme because there's still a couple months before the next LW title fight. Give him one to win in the meantime and then let him take out Maynard. He already deserves the shot as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbeast28 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I love how George is not waiting and taking the fight with Siver. Maybe Dana should let George have the title fight in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already deserves the shot as far as I'm concerned.[/quote'] yeah I agree, but he might have to fight after wards because the winner of Edgar vs Maynard vs winner of Henderson vs Pettis will probably fight in April or May depending how they went and then another few months after that before someone gets a shot at the title maybe he will fight winner of Miller vs Oliveira or Dunham if he beats Florian, or loser of ufc title fight as you mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynan Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I love how George is not waiting and taking the fight with Siver. Maybe Dana should let George have the title fight in Australia. I was hoping for that but unless he loses to Siver, it shouldn't be another year before he has a title shot... and I really doubt they'll bring 2 events to Aus next year.

Tweak Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Not a fan of this fight. George has so much more to loose in this fight then Siver. But at least he is taking fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I thought he would get like Sherk or the winner of Miller vs Oliveira (if they took little damage) or a top WEC LW like Cerrone, but Siver, I thought that's someone Lauzon would get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenColbert Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 He needs to fight someone like Florian, Maynard, Henderson, Pettis, Dunham, or Sherk to get a shot at the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
