"I'd love to see [Anderson Silva] go to 205. I'll tell you what, you want your challenge? You'll get challenged at 205-pounds from number one all the way down to number twelve. I mean that division is so stacked with so much talent and I don't disagree with you, I would love to see him [make that move]. It would have been great to see him go to 205 three years ago. Him and ‘Bones' Jones, him and anybody in that division. There's so many guys at 205 that would be fun." -Dana White via MMADigest

UFC president Dana White reveals his desire to see his middleweight champion head back up to light heavyweight where he'll find a bevy of exciting challenges. 

Despite occasional forays up to the weight class, Silva, who walks around between 215-220 lbs, has fought the majority of his career at middleweight. The highly regarded champion has had a strangle-hold on the division since becoming the champion in 2007 and has dispatched of nearly every worthy opponent en route to a UFC record 12 straight wins and six straight title defenses.

He'll face what many believe to be his toughest test to date when he squares off against former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort at UFC 126 on Feb. 5.
