I would love to see him fight gsp

this matchup seems inevitable provided they keep winning.

it all comes down to how GSP deals with being in the cage with a bigger man. if GSP can get the takedown, he probably wins a decision, if not i see Anderson KO'ng him standing

i'm not sure who i'd pick right now

Guys GSP has not fought anyone near Silva's level/size.


Remember Silva was able to deal with Henderson who has great greco wrestling and is 6'1" 197 lbs at MW. GSP is a bit smaller...5'10" 187 lbs.


Silva is a guy who was physically able to overpower and throw Franklin around...and Franklin is a guy who is 205 lbs ripped.



Silva is a monster who should be at LHW

i think Anderson would make a run a LHW if he wasn't so close to Machida. they are great friends and Anderson believes the LHW division belongs to Machida

Yep


I would be VERY confident Silva would be LHW champ

My money will be on GSP :boxing:

I would like to see Silva face a true contender at 205 before I would say he takes over the division. Fighters like Rampage aren't going to drop like James Irvin did.

Very well said and true. 205 is THE best division and has plenty of killers.
Dont forget BJ ran through LW and even held the title at WW and just got destroyed by its real champion.

Although in Anderson's defense, Henderson and Franklin are true 205ers in my opinion

Well I already saw him drop the Pride MW/LHW champ in the second round. The very same guy who took Rampage to a decision ....Im talking Dan Henderson


Believe me...Silva would destroy at LHW..hes that good.

If GSP trades with Silva, he will lose
If GSP gets Silva down, he will probably get overpowered and pounded.
