I think the kicks/knees would do St. Pierre in.
Depends on how much quality weight GSP can put on to get to 185. His speed and explosion at 170 is unmatched.. As much as i love GSP, i lean towards Anderson..
Yeah same here I give Silva the advantage. It would be a of a fight. I wonder if they would make it a le fight. Would be a shame to not have 5 rounds.
I think St. Pierre would not have a problem taking Silva down and avoiding submissions before strikes would put him in danger. As we have seen, he has smart game plans when fighting dangerous strikers. He could control the fight on the ground and inflict damage with GnP.
It would be interesting how bold and comfortable he would get as the fight would progress to mix it up on his feet like he did with Alves.
However, with Silva, I don't think that would be wise.
I'd say GSP by majority decision.

GSP is obsessed with being a legend in the sport and it's a fight he wants. It's likely gonna happen unless Silva goes downhill. GSP has no challenges left at 170..
I truly believe that GSP would put him on the ground and just control him the whole fight.
I don't think GSP can handle the power behind Silva's strikes...depends which Silva shows up too though...
Wanna see it...
If Silva is motivated, he pounds GSP, who is kinda small even at 170. Silva is big for 185 since he can also fight at 205. I like GSP, but when Silva is motivated, he is unstoppable.
I think Silva would be to much for GSP, and I would love to see the match happen
Silva has great BJJ, so unlike Thiago he is a threat even when on his back. No, he wouldnt be able to get back up like Thiago (which I found very impressive) but he is still dangerous when on his back. If it went to a decision Id have GSP taking it. However if someone ends it, I think that someone would be Anderson.
I'm 100% confident that GSP can take him down consistantly. The striking is the big concern as is the height and reach. It's probably gonna happen at some point unless Silva loses in his next 2 or 3 fights..
Just like Alves was gonna knock his head off and Penn was gonna sub him or ko Him??
Silva is on a completely different level than Alves and Penn. You cant compare them. Silva by knockout unless gsp can take him down at will and avoid a sub.
This would be such a great fight.
Silva is indeed on an entirely different level than Alves. Not taking anything away from the french he has mad quicks, athleticism and of course dbrieden hanging from his nuts. I just don't see GSP having the strength to escape Silva's plum clinch and JJ.
That will really tell us all just where Silva is mentally.
Uh, Silva will absolutely dismantle Forrest.
I think that GSP have a big chance to win the decision aginst silva. he is the best striker at WW and he is the top wrestler in mma, and his control of other guys is just awesome.
I don't care that much about weight diference, the problem could be the lenght though. But gsp is a dynamite when it come to take people down.
