I wouldn't want to put Loisseau or Nate Quarry against Silva. I think both of them are great fighters that are coming off of a devastating loss. (both to Franklin) Silva has the potential to embarass people. You don't want to deal that out on a guy coming back from a bad loss. Their reputations could be damaged irrepairably.
For similar reasons, I wouldn't throw Silva immediately in with Franklin. You want to build that fight up a little more. Franklin could dismantle Silva, then you have wasted a perfect talent, and he will be back in the scrap bin with Quarry and the crow. Or Silva could win, and you have a relatively unknown champion. And really they just did that with Franklin. He became champ relatively quick and the last few fights have really made people notice him.
I think the best bet is Silva vs. Swick. I consider Swick to be one of the next in line for a title shot. Another interesting fight would be Silva vs. Lister if Dean can drop like he says he can.
