ESPN's Franklin McNeil reported on MMA Live's weigh-in special that Wanderlei Silva will finally take the plunge down to middleweight. Silva made the decision after going 1-3 in his last three fights at 205.

The move makes a lot of sense. Silva still hits hard as evidenced in the Keith Jardine fight, but he made his name in Japan where weight cutting is not as sophisticated or prolific.

I'd like to see Zuffa give Wanderlei the Anderson Silva treatment and throw him in with Chris Leben. Silva's gone through a who's who of MMA over the past 5 years, and a fight with Leben should get him back on track in a new division.

smart move

i can almost guarantee he'll be facing Dan Henderson at some point. Dana loves promoting those revenge matches.

he'd be a bad matchup for Leben (Leben being the poor man's Wand) and murder him in the 1st round, but it'd be interesting to see him against Travis Lutter, J-Mac or Gouveia.

and of course an Anderson Silva fight would be capture my attention

Good. He's too small for 205. I hope they give him a decent, but not too hard opponent, for his warm-up fight.

If that's true, RIP Chris Leben.
