A fight with Machida couldnt be a possibility seeing how Machida is a Light Heavyweight and Fedor is a Heavyweight, but as far as him verse Anderson; I doubt it! Fedor is a Natural Heavyweight and Silva is a Natural Middleweight. Fedor just has the overall power and size advantage! Fedor is the best heavyweight in MMA if not the best MMA fighter period. In his last two fights he dominated Tim Silvia and KO'd Andre Arlowski: Both are former heavyweight champs. The only person in the world who has trully expressed iinterest in fighting Fedor, is the Natural Randy Courture! Now that would be a nice fight. Even though Courture is up there in age, he is still one of the top Heavyweights in the game! But Fedor's employers, Affliction, and the UFC can never see eye to eye, seeing how Affliction is real has strict boundaries when it comes to the US!

Yea i think Dana is to. I think he just wants all the money for the UFC and doesnt want to share it with any organization. S**t Randy has wanted to fight Fedor for a long time and the only reason it never happened is because Dana wont allow it. Thats a fight i wanna see. Same with Anderson Silva: Anderson wanted to fight Roy Jones Jr. in a boxing match to show that MMA fighters are techniqual boxers as well. Silva how ever found a way around that. He and Roy Jones have already agreed to fight next year when his UFC contract expires!
I agree fedor is the best in the world dana white won't use him because he doesn't want to pay fighters what they are worth. the top fighters make what 400k a fight and that is nothing compared to boxing and I promise boxers don't fight anywhere near as much or sell as much gear as these fighters do. The whole ufc card probably doesn't make as much as the loser of a boxing title fight. the money mma fighters are getting paid is alot better than if they had a regular job but it is not fair to these guys who work hard year round to make these pricks super rich month after month and get paid about a fifth of what they should. just my opinion
