LOLAt 200 his heart will struggle to pump blood to all that extra muscle for longer than one round.
Okay
At this point, there's better fights for Silva moving up to LHW than GSP moving to MW. GSP is a better, faster, more technical Sonnen...and Sonnen is the only thing we've seen that can hang with Silva for more than a round.
I'd be happier to see Silva fight for LHW against Rua/Jones...they wouldn't take Silva's .

GSP is the clear number 2 Pd for pd in the world to Silva's 1.. I think after Shields that fight should happen..
And i 100% believe GSP can win.. GSP will be the most well rounded fighter he has ever fought..
his wrestling and sub defense does not make up for the size difference. Sonnen is a lot bigger. Silva wont get as tired from being layed on and GSP is gonna be tired as at that weight. If st.pierre cant finish smaller guys like alves, hardy, and fitch then no way he can beat silva other than lay and pray. if you guys want anderson to lose, your best bet is him at 205 vs shogun, rashad, ect.. or wait for 2 years till hes past his prime.
GSP will look like a dwarf against Silva
Anyone who wants to vote i put a poll up in the forum for Jones and Shogun and who ya got?
Give it a vote and voice your opinion..
i never knew silva had so many haters, but after reading on some forums after the fight i can see that not many people are ok with silva being the best p4p in the world, or even with him totally owning his weight class. everybody coming up with their own ways to see silva lose.
I like Jon Jones, but everyone needs to stop riding the till he beats someone. reminds me of a young gsp, everyone was on the d and then he gets submitted by hughes. then gets his rematch and dominates. tough fight with penn and the rest is history (minus the serra fight) take notes from the past.
GSP has legendary cardio.. He trains at 190 plus.. He will never gas against Silva and he'll take his ass down over and over and over again..
Height means nothing when you are on your back..
but he couldnt finish dan hardy. silva has all those little WWs done in 2 minutes or less
This is not true. long legs and arms are a huge factor
He can win a UD on Silva with wrestling and control.. Sonnen in abused this guy for 22 min..
you are assuming a smaller man in gsp will be able to do the same because they are equal in take down ability
Now again
IF GSP gonna win with Shields he will need more time to gain the body mass and stay comfortable.
I do not want to think about it. in Silva! Belfort had a good plan.
Boring Silva wins again.
btw. Silva could not finish Leites and Maia
Either way i think this needs to happen.. Fans like you and me have been debating this for years.. After Shields
GSP/Silva has to happen
It is probably the biggest fight in MMA history..

UFC 126 shocker: Jones given immediate le shot after submitting Bader
By Steve Cofield
Now that's a night. Jon Jones showed off another part of his sick arsenal in taking out unbeaten Ryan Bader at UFC 126. The lanky 23-year-old light heavyweight phenom overpowered Bader for 6-of-9 minutes on the ground and finished the fight with a guillotine choke. The UFC shocked Jones and the fans by offering the kid a shot at the UFC light heavyweight le against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. Jones accepted on the spot.
"I feel great. God is so good. I feel great," Jones told UFC analyst Joe Rogan. "Hats off to Endicott, New York. And I'm going for a world le baby. Let's do it!"
Rogan announced that Rashad Evans, Rua's original opponent at UFC 128 was out with an injured knee. Dana White confirmed to Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Iole that the fight is still on for mid-March in Newark, N.J.
Jones (12-1, 6-1 UFC) will have just over five weeks to prep for the biggest fight of his young career. Iole reports that Evans injured his knee yesterday. According to Dr. Steve Sanders, the knee will keep Evans sidelined for 6-8 weeks.
Bader (12-1, 5-1 UFC) is a huge, thickly-muscled lightheavyweight, but he looked no different than every other Jones' opponent in the UFC. The kid is thin, but he has overpowered everyone when they've locked horns with him.
After toying with some standup at the start of the fight, Jones scored an easy takedown 30 seconds into the fight. He muscled Bader on the ground, which shocked many observers considering he was facing a former all-american wrestler from Arizona State. Jones worked for different chokes while he kept the fight on the ground for two minutes. Once it got to the feet, Bader looked intimidated by Jones' length. He attempted a takedown from a mile away and wound up on his back again for the final two minutes of the first.
In the second, it was more of the same. Jones was more measured. Bader looked tentative on the feet. Bader made the mistake again of shooting from a distance and allowed Jones to settle on top of him, where he eventually sunk in the nasty guillotine. His 84-inch reached help set it up and it was clear his grip was like a vice. Bader tapped at 4:20 of the second.
As far as GSP and Silva goes....If the fight goes the distance I think GSP would win, because he would take Silva down over and over again as previously stated, and he would keep him there. Now Silva would obviously have the advantage on feet, and could always pull off a submission, but I think GSP is too smart to get caught in one. Id love to see that fight. And as far as Jon Jones goes, people arent "Riding his " because of who he has beaten (Which btw arent bad fighters at all) Its because of his age, amazing skill level, and how has demolished all of them....he pretty much made them look like pussies.
i know but this was the same situation with gsp and penn as they both lost in their first le fight. he will get beaten down and then rise back up. talented but not enough fights to take a guy like shogun right now
silva finally sat down at the presser
TDTR- too drunk to read
Ummm...I may be wrong but wasn't Sonnen completely in the right during this controversy? Wasn't it just the fact that Sonnen didn't know he had to report his hormone medication to the athletic commission cause he already had a few months before?
dana is such a prick
I love how everyone is forgetting a rematch with Sonnen already. Don't get me wrong, a fight with Silva and GSP would without a doubt make history, but there's a guy in Silva's division who was already about to get a rematch. Sonnen has just become my new favorite fighter after seeing Silva destroy the only guy I thought could handle his standup. Sonnen is Silva's kryptonite
Sonnen's legal troubles cloud any rematch..
