Everyone wants to see Nate Marquardt fight Anderson Silva, and I can't say that I don't either. My idea was simply that it is pointless to eliminate a ready contender by having them two fight. They can easily gain the credibility for a title shot by taking on guys like Tanner, Losieau, Terrell, etc. That way you save one of them for after a title fight.
For instance, if Marquardt fights Silva and loses, he's not getting a title shot anytime soon. If Marquardt fights Franklin and loses, Silva is right there ready to give Franklin a legit contender.
Likewise if Marquardt beats Silva, then Silva is knocked out of the runnings for awhile. If they don't fight each other, you have two legit contendors who would be undefeated in the UFC.
Marquardt has been ready for quite some time and has a very big resume. I think he's ready. I don't think he will beat Franklin but he's legit and after this fight Silva should be ready for his title shot.
