| Who at this point has THE best chance of beating Anderson Silva? 1. Dan Henderson
2. Demian Maia
3. Nate Marquardt
4. Yushin Okami
5. Michael Bisping Those, in my opinion, are the top 5 Middleweight contenders.

| Dan Henderson if he sticks to a good gameplan can take out Silva IMO. He likes to stand and trade when he shouldn't and that puts him in a very dangerous place against Silva.
Maia needs to show what he can do against Nate first. His standup is still VERY much below Silvas level. At this point I think it might just be another type of Silva/Leites fight.
Now with Nate I fear he'd try and trade too much and the reach disadvantage would eventually lead him to getting caught.
Okami is pretty well rounded, but I think eventually no matter where the fight would go he would lose. If he stands he'll get knocked out, and if he takes Silva to the ground I see him getting submitted.
Bisping has pretty good boxing, but his standup is still nowhere near Silvas level. He will not be able to come in and out and pick him apart. I really think this is just a bad matchup for him overall. Actually I think Vitor Belfort might have a decent chance against him, still though at this point Henderson is definately the guy that can beat him.

| Vitor Belfort is such a great fighter. He's come back with so much power and skill. Great recent win off Matt Lindland. KO first round. It was amazing. Yeah, Dan is the best guy right now in my opinion.
