This could be one of the craziest fights ever in the UFC if it ever happens. These two have vowed not to fight each other as they are training partners. However, recently both fighters agreed that they would fight if the price was right. Is Dana White willing to pay that price? If he is then fans will get to see the best striking/offensive fighter in the UFC in Silva face off against the best counter/defensive fighter in Lyoto Machida.
After Sliva's destructon of Forrest Griffin may people are wondering if anyone can beat him. Yet, Machida is unlike any other fighter in the UFC in that he has a laid back approach. Machida likes to control the tempo and take advantage of his opponent's mistakes. However, how often does Anderson Sliva make mistakes? Many would say that he has some holes in his game. I believe that Silva's biggest issue is whether he can handle an extremely tough war.
I am hoping that we do get to see this fight in the future for multiple reasons. I understand that these two fighters train together and would not like to fight one another. However, your goal should be to be the best and that means taking the tough fight and sometimes the fights that you don't want to take. The UFC fans deserve to see this fight and in my opinion it is the duty of UFC President Dana White to make sure that it happens. This would truly be an epic fight and I sure hope it comes to fruition.
