Anderson gets fat between fights. It's not 230 solid. He's a 185lbs fighter and not a huge one.
Welterweight have never looked better. I don't mind GSP staying where he belongs.
I'd much rather see Anderson fight JBJ.

He still almost always come in under 185 (182,3,4) with a relatively high bodyfat percentage.
He would not be a tiny 205 compared to most, he can definitely hang at the weight. But he's not like Jon Jones, a huge guy for his weight.
Anderson can very comfortably make 185, and probably even 180. There's a reason why his camp has suggested a 177-178lbs catchweight. Because he can get there.

I rather GSP stay at WW.

Originally posted by Nodogoshi View PostGSP was also clearly out of form in his last fight. At his age, and coming off of a serious injury, and a lot of time off, it is a hard proposition to say whether he will get back to form again. Of course he may look better in his next fight. Condit is no slouch or anything, but GSP was clearly way below his best. That version of GSP would be KO'd right quick by the likes of Silva.
Silva is just too big for WW. If he wants a super fight, it will have to be Jones instead of the smaller GSP who will get picked apart.

Yes Silva has gotten up to 235 between fights. He has said it several times in interviews. But I don't know if he does that for every fight.
Besides that doesn't mean much. He's still a true MW. He's too small for LHW. Just look at how much bigger Bonnar looked. Silva just likes to pig out between fights.Last edited by -Swizzy-; 11-28-2012, 09:41 PM.
