Silva is a better striker who is also bigger. I also think he has better TDD. GSP won't take the Silva fight, no way in hell. He knows he can't win that fight. If GSP thought Condit's kicks hurt, wait til he eats a few of Anderson's.

Can't wait to pound Hendrick via KO/TKO +890 vs GSP
WoooHoooooooooo!!!!!Comment -
diaz hasn't really faced any good wrestlers in a while. i'd like to test him first against hendricks, fitch, or koscheck.Comment -
Condit would've had a better chance if he just tried to hold GSP down completely and force a stand up.Originally posted by Thor4140Amazing how the best possible ref for GSP was right there to do this fight. No threats of a standup in this one with that douche. Good thing Condit worked from the bottom or it might have been one of the worst fights in Welterweight history. After watching Carmont win i was surprised Condit got a round on one of the cards. Round three he almost puts GSP lights out but GSP gets a takedown and does absolutely nothing with it for over three minutes but eat punches, and somehow wins it on two judges cards

hendrix has done anough, but i'd love to see that fight. still intrested in seeing a diaz fight as well, believe diaz would be less tentive standing than carlos, he would get controled on the ground as well, but think he'd have more sucess than carlos there too.Originally posted by Thor4140Comment -
I think Hendricks loses to GSP. GSP won't back up against Hendricks punches, he'll just duck low and shoot for the takedown.Originally posted by BIGDAYComment -
Also, Joe is definitely right, GSP looked absolutely massive today. He looked like he out weighed Carlos by a good 15 pounds.Comment -
i was saying the same thing but the ref they had do the fight is notorious for not standing fighters up and hearing about it from Dana. Gsp had homecourt advantage and the best ref in the ufc to fit his style.Originally posted by JamesKimComment -

i doubt it. I think we would see the same exact fightOriginally posted by JoshKnows46Comment -
interesting... maybe testing packing on weight for silva?Originally posted by JamesKimComment -
Gsp has the style to beat Silva out of anyone. Nobody is better suit to beat Silva than GSP unless Silva had some balls and wanted to fight Jones but that will never happen. Maybe another bum at 205 but not JonesComment -
GSP looked really drained in a lot of interviews too. I saw a post here with an Ariel interview where GSP walked away saying he was too dehydrated. I know that's not because he's out of shape, I think he might actually be bulking a bit. I think he won't take the Silva fight after this, he needed a confidence boaster and this wasn't it. If he dominated Carlos, he might have said he'll go for the Silva fight.Originally posted by sportsfanaticComment -
Actually, love that fight. Could end up being for the welterweight title if gsp moves up to fight silva. Only thing is I think dana would make diaz win another fight before he'd throw him into a title fight. Your are absolutely correct tho, hendericks v. Diaz would be awesome.Originally posted by Thor4140Comment -
diaz wouldnt be going backwards that much, but yea pretty close to the same fight. hendricks is the tougher test, becuase of his wrestling and power. diaz has neither of those attributes, he needs a bunch of punches to count, gsp wouldnt let him get more than 3-4 punches off before putting him on his back, but i believe diaz is better off his back than condit, and would be more agressive on the feet.Originally posted by Thor4140Comment -
none of the lighter weigh class champions besides aldo finish many fights either. Look at the last 6 fights of each champion from flyweight to welterweightOriginally posted by Vaughany
Demetrious Johnson 0/6
Dominick Cruz 1/6

good fightComment -
??? Why I like people like u. Betters my odds pal..Originally posted by JamesKimComment -
gsp wouldnt be able to takedown silva, and would get lit up on the feet. gsp and sonnens wrestling is very comparable. silva has better takedown defense than most people believe. jones would be a great fight.Originally posted by Thor4140Comment -
GSP will take the Anderson fight. Watch. He knows he can't take down Hendricks...Originally posted by CDMKMPComment -
Yeah, I think Diaz has no chance against GSP. Worst style out there. He doesn't have enough power to force GSP to respect his punches, and he probably won't be strong enough to grapple with GSP, even if he can outmatch him skill wise. GSP holds down Diaz for the victory.Originally posted by JoshKnows46Comment -
silva wants to fight gsp then jones in his next two fights...gsp wont take the fight, but jones vs silva will defintly happen.Originally posted by Thor4140
Anderson Silva has officially arrived in Montreal ahead of Saturday's UFC 154 event at the Bell Centre, and ESPN understands the Brazilian is hunting not one but two superfights.
Silva greeted the public in Canada on Friday evening, and he will be present for the welterweight title collision between Georges St-Pierre and Carlos Condit.
Victory for St-Pierre, according to president Dana White, will definitely lead to a superfight between GSP and Silva in May 2013, but the Brazilian is not prepared to stop there.
ESPN understands Silva's master plan is to fight St-Pierre at a catchweight of around 178lbs, and then immediately switch the other side of his natural middleweight home to take on Jon Jones.
There is exceptional respect between Silva and Jones, but both men have been made aware of the astronomical figures they would stand to make from a future collision.
At the age of 37, and having more-or-less cleared out the 185lb division, Silva is keen to maximise his earnings from the remaining fights in his career. A GSP/Jones double is his No. 1 scenario, and the UFC is ready to encourage that outcome in order to live up to the promise of making the fights the fans want to see.
It is also expected that Silva will step into the Octagon if St-Pierre wins on Saturday, despite previous quotes to the contrary. However, a win for Condit could yet throw a major spanner in the works.Comment -
i agree. silva's takedown defense looked better in the 2nd fight against sonnen. in the 2nd round anyways.Originally posted by JoshKnows46Comment -
he can't take down either fighter with consistancy. will probable get KO'd in both those fights.Originally posted by BIGDAYComment -
?? I think he easily takes Anderson down.Originally posted by JoshKnows46Comment -
How? By timing Anderson's shots? No way in hell GSP gets anywhere near the success of Sonnen or Hendo in the 1st round in taking Silva down. Only way to do that is to bullrush him and chain takedowns like a mofo, but GSP isn't going to do that. Trying to time a Silva strike for a takedown is a true recipe for a disaster.Originally posted by BIGDAY
Please keep to your word and bet on Hendricks against GSP if it happens and GSP against Silva if that happens. Do it and I promise I will bet the complete opposite.Comment -
Wow you guys are delusional. GSP defends after a huge layoff, dominates 95% of the fight, is 100% on takedown attempts against a top level contender...
and now all of a sudden "GSP can't take down so and so, no way."
Keep dreaming because your money keeps the lines better for me. Sonnen took Silva down at will the first fight and the only reason he didn't get to the second fight is because he made the retarded decision to go for a spinning elbow up against the cage.
Every single person who fights GSP works their penetrating ass off to stop the takedown and he still gets them at will. The way Hendricks throws his punches with so much power leaves him way off balance and open for it.
I know Hendricks has some serious pedigree but this isn't college wrestling, and Kampmann isn't GSP by a long shot.Comment -
no way. lol sonnen couldnt take silva down. it'll be hard for gsp to get a takedown when he's backpedeling his ass off. anderson would imbarras him in the first round.Originally posted by BIGDAY
gsp has a much better chance of taking hendricks down.Comment -
One guy can't stop 170 pounders and the other guy stops EVERY 185 and 205s once in a while too for the hell of it. No contest. Spider peppers knees at dudes 6'3 or taller so no way possible GSP would remain standing. GSPs frenchie @$$ will duck Silva unless he gets 2/3 of the gate or something ridiculous.Comment -
