How stupid do you have to be to think Silva could beat GSP? No doubt Silva is one of the greatest however, did nobody see the Sonnen fight? Silva has a HUGE hole in his game ....WRESTLING. And that hole happens to be GSP's biggest strength. GSP uses wrestling in mma more effectively than anybody, he out wrestles NCAA national champs with ease and people think Silva could stop that? LOL! GSP has fought the best of the best and dominated every round. He destroyed John Fitch and Fitch destroys everyone else. It isnt even debatable, GSP would win by decision however it would be one of the biggest one sided beatings in UFC championship history. Go ahead and believe that Silva is the Michael Jordan of MMA, thats what Danna White wants. Silva has been marketed as the best for so long, taking away his pound 4 pound crown is bad for business. Like him or not GSP is the most well rounded fighter ever and the best at making his oppenent's fight his fight. If Silva puts his hands down and dances around with his chin out he will get dumped his head and get "Chael'ed" for 5 rounds and by the way GSP is not getting submitted!
P.S. Who ever said GSP is most similar to Franklin and Marquart........WOW. LOL. Similar how? The fact that niether of the two are elite wrestlers and GSP is, or is the way that neither of the two has had success against high level talent reguarly and GSP does. Its not that im a hugh GSP fan but if one wants to form an intelligent argument they have to look at facts instead of saying random things like " GSP is like Franklin or Marquart ".... Going by facts GSP's strengths are Silva's week spots and GSP would do to him what he does to everybody else!

Why would GSP needs just an excuse to dodge him. It's not about money for GSP, he has a legacy to build and losing to Silva hurts it. He knows he can't beat Silva. GSP is already at 190 and being the best overall athlete in MMA, another 5-7 pounds of muscle is no problem for him and won't hurt him. He's already the strongest guy at 170. Silva isn't a powerwrestler, pin you against the cage, or a power clinch fighter. GSP has to worry about the sniper like strikes from Silva and he knows he can't.

GSP can't win a striking battle with Silva, would lose on the ground, and would lose his ability to muscle Silva, which he routine does at 170. Look at the gnp Sonnen laid on Silva. GSP can't even duplicate that and can't sub Silva. GSP has seen Silva dismantled Maia, Belfort, Franklin, Mardquart, Leben and countless others. Mardquart and Franklin are most similar to GSP, so GSP has no chance.

A true Champion will fight anyone at anytime. GSP is lame champ. Not a true champ. Listen to most other champs that are ask to fight other people, they do not make excuses they fight them. GSP walks around at 193 so I don't think it would be difficult for him to make weight. Everyone thinks that he has to gain like 30lb to fight him from what I read on other blogs. Bullcrap its just an excuse because he is scared of losing.

Anderson Silva cuts down from 230 to make weight. He's just too big and strong for GSP. With that said if GSP fights the style Sonnen did I still think he has a slight chance of winning a decision. Completely possible cause he has the takedowns but not quite sure if the strength is there to hold somebody as big as Silva down.. Guess we'll have to see

Anderson Silva vs. St. Pierre @ 185lbs.
Winner = Spider Anderson Silva.
GSP can't even finished fights at 170lbs and knock out fighters. There is no way he is going to be able to finish fights at 185lbs. All that muscle but no power. With GSP having to put on weight, it's going to have an affect on his speed and slow him down a bit. GSP main weapon will be wrestling and that's about it. Spider Silva will dominate in everything else. Anderson Silva will prove he is Pound 4 Pound the best fighter in the world, not GSP.

anyone else not hear when gsp said anderson silva should fight okami?

i think gsp has good chance off taking out but this seees like down playing the situation!

they should fight at whatever weight they feel comforting in 185 vs 170.
