Rumors have arisen that The Former welterweight champion of the world Matt Hughes my be fighting the current middleweight champion Anderson Silva in 2008. Matt Hughes echoes in a recent post on his official Web site that he wants to fight for the middleweight title provided Rich "Ace" Franklin is not the champion. Rich "Ace" Franklin will challenge incumbent 185-pound king Anderson Silva in November for the middleweight champion. Matt Hughes has stated and I quote "If Rich losses then I would move up and fight Anderson. I would never fight Rich." Matt Hughes obviously has no intention on fighting Rick Franklin, but if Franklin loses (which is a great possibly) he would move up and take the belt from Silva. I don't know about all of you but i would hate to see Franklin lose to Silva however i think it would be a great match between Silva and Hughes. Anderson Silva has outstanding striking skills in my opinion he has the best Maui Thai skills in the UFC however i believe that it would it would be a battle between them and the reason is because Silva has been only been fighting strikers he has never had to fight anyone that is 5'9 and has the strenght, wrestling, and ground and pound ability that Matt Hughes possesses. I know it would be a great match and hopefully we will get the chance to see in the future.
