Traz, I actually agree with you to a certain extent. However, a jardine/silva fight just isn't as marketable as a liddell/silva fight. Houston is for sure headed for a title shot if he beats his next opponent. I'd be shocked otherwise.

Imo, a griffin/silva fight would be more justifiable from a meritocracy perspective but you can't deny the powerful story line of a liddell/silva fight. $5 says it will be called UFC 80 - redemption.

Btw, where do you guys think Jardine will go from here? No way they will offer him a title shot before Houston. Maybe a Machida/Jardine undercard in the serra/hughes card on Dec 29th? Would be interesting for sure.

Another question, is Henderson officially dropping down to the MW division? Having him and possibly Hughes join that division would really help that weight class.
