Wanderlei Silva (33-11-1 1 NC, 3-6 UFC)
Who he’s facing: Cung Le
Why he’s in danger: UFC president Dana White has made it clear that he thinks Silva would be better off in retirement, and, you have to admit, the boss makes a compelling case. Silva’s 35 (but an old 35, in fighting years), he’s lost six of his last eight (and been knocked out in four of those six), and he really has nothing left to prove in this sport. What, is he going to become UFC middleweight champion?
Martin Kampmann (17-5, 8-4 UFC)
Who he’s facing: Rick Story
Why he’s in danger: On paper, he’s one defeat away from the dreaded three-fight losing streak. In reality, he’s probably the best losing welterweight the UFC has had over the last year. His current skid started when he lost a questionable decision to Jake Shields in October of 2010.
Jason Brilz (18-4-1, 3-3 UFC)
Who he’s facing: Ryan Bader
Matt Brown (12-10, 5-4 UFC)
Who he’s facing: Seth Baczynski
Why he’s in danger: Look at his record. He pulled himself up from the brink with a decision win over John Howard, and he looked pretty good doing it, too.
Shamar Bailey (12-4, 1-1 UFC)
Who he’s facing: Danny Castillo
