I thought Franklin won their fight, and the Bisping fight was a sure win, for godsakes the man was circling right into Hendo's left hand. Maia deserves it more than all of them. IMO right now it should be Silva VS. Maia then Marquardt VS Hendo for the next title shot.
I dont think the article was too far off tho, he only has 3 fights left on his contract, if he is still champion he cant leave, I think its called the champions clause. He would either have to get beat or give up the title to fight at Light Heavy which i'm pretty sure hes gonna do after his next fight or the fight after that.

Really? Randy Couture left as the champion and they were forced to make an interim title, although I suppose that may be because he still had fights left on his contract that he hadn't fulfilled.
Also, I think Silva only having 3 fights left on his clause actually INCREASES the likelihood that he stays at the middleweight, unfortunately. Something tells me he wants to finish his contract defending the belt successfully and then relinquish the title when his contract is done, so he can leave behind one hell of a legacy.

He didn't/couldn't leave, he couldnt compete anywhere else so since he refused to fight in the UFC so they made an interim title. And also because he hadn't fulfilled his contract, I knoe UFC was ready to take him to court before they worked everything out.
Yea you might be right, I just hope 2/3 fights left are at Light Heavy.
