Seeing as how GSP was KO’d by Matt Serra only 3 fights ago, I don’t think they are particularly worried about him.

GSP is awesome, but due to the natural size disparity he does not pose much of a threat to Silva.

I don’t think Anderson Silva is afraid to fight anyone, including Fedor, which is a more likely match up to actually occur.

GSP would need to clean out 170 to make a compelling case for Anderson, and there’s a guy named BJ Penn who could seriously derail any further talk about GSP facing AS. But first things first, let’s see how Georges handles Fitch. If he absolutely dominates him, well then the speculation about 185 for Rush can continue.

#52:

Seeing as Silva has world class jits, it could end in GSP being submitted. GSP has great sub defense, you have to give him that, but look at how ineffective Hendo was in administering damage to Silva when he was on top of him for the better part of a round.

If GSP got Silva down, Silva would most likely neutralize him until they got stood up. Then he would KO him.

I think GSP is the most well rounded martial artist in the game, but Anderson is a far more deadly striker, and his jits is at least as good or better than GSP’s. GSP has better wrestling, sure, but the Hendo fight showed that a big wrestling advantage isn’t enough to stop AS from going to town on you.

Add the fact that Anderson is much taller than GSP and you have too much to overcome. GSP is great, but Anderson would wreck him. Bad match up for Rush any way you look at him.

Anderson I think is more in far more danger of losing to a one punch counter striking KO artist like Chuck. And it wouldn’t hurt that Chuck is at least his size, if not bigger.

Okay, first of all Silva has been riding an easy streak defending his title against nobodys, i mean he was losing against lutter, and the was the most bs stop i have seen, the elbows were coming to the back of the head. Bisping sucks and got his ass kicked by hamill, and GSP has been relentless as he has always fought top opponents and looked excellent, trigg, hughes, kos, miller, penn, everybody needs to stop boosting silva saying he will dominate when GSP has faced way tougher opponents, plus Fedor right now is hands the best fighter in the world, his record and opponents prove it

IF GSP got Silva to the ground, how else could it end but a GSP victory? Thoughts?

By the way the rest of you have made some great calls:

Iceman versus Spider would be awesome – I never even considered that matchup. Good call!

Axe murder versus Spider – thought this was on the cards anyway with talks about Vanderleigh dropping down. REALLY wana see this fight as well.

Agree with what you guys said about GSP. He was the first guy who made Matt Hughes look ordinary. This guy will be a legend, but we need a bit more time before he fights anderson. I believe that would be a very special fight indeed. F*ck it, think I would even have to fly across to the US to see that one! (not dissing the US – but just saying that it would be expensive!).

Oy “Chris”, show Bisping some respect. Do you walk into the Octagon for a living? Guess not. If you do then fight him yourself.

These guys deserve respect and regardless who he has fought the last 2 times he absolutely destroyed them. Its the old cliche but you can only beat the guy in front of you.
