I put my money against Silva in the Forrest Griffin fight and will never do it again..
It's not about being on someones nuts, it's about seeing that he is the baddest motherfucker walking the face of the earth.. Can he be beat?? Sure.. Prolly will happen someday, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna pick against him.. Still don't see why you guys get so upset.. Pretty sure its cause you are on GSP's nuts and are being hypocritical.. |

BLARGH you're such a retard. I fucking love Anderson Silva, and I love GSP, but I can acknowledge their weaknesses. You can't do that because you're retarded.

I really wish people would stop trying to say that the reason Anderson took that beating from Chael was so that he could sub him at the last second.
I also wish people would stop forgetting the fact that Silva did have a rib injury in that fight and Sonnen was probably stronger than he's been in any other fight due to his higher levels of testosterone. Even if GSP is able to get Silva to the ground no one wants to watch a fight like that. GSP doesn't have ground and pound or slick subs and it would probably be more grinding than anything else if it went that way. If anything, GSP's take downs would turn it into a fight where Anderson doesn't engage and merely dances around and mocks GSP for four rounds instead of chasing him or opening himself up to be taken down. |

"I'm semi-pro/amatuer, I know everything".. I guess after I'm done 6 months of boxing and wrestling traing and get a fight under my belt, I'll make sense then too.

That's the thing, you guys get super butthurt like I am saying GSP is horrible or something..
I never said that.. I just think that if/when they do fight, Silva will knock him out.. More or a testament to Silva, than a knock at GSP.. You are crying like little bitches.. |

it doesnt even have to do with me being a fighter. It has to do with me paying attention to what goes on like reading articles and watching the fights.
basically the edgar penn fight was just compared to a silva/gsp fight. Thats ridiculous... you have two fights with fighters with complete different styles going at it. Now against a strong wrestler that can attack the legs, silva can get in trouble. But to say that GSP will put him on his back like sonnen did shows me that you dont even actually think about whats going on. Silva gets in trouble against guys that will fight through the punches and AGGRESSIVELY go for the takedown. IE sonnen, and lutter. Ive said it before (and i cant find the thread to just quote it) But GSP isnt necessarily the best wrestler in mma, hes probably just the greatest athlete. How many times have you seen him just blast a double leg into guys to take them down (especially since his loss to serra)? GSP mixes his strikes with takedowns and what he does is get guys to get offensive on the feet, and he then cuts under them to their legs (alves, bj, hardy, even matt serra). When someone is completely off balance, its not hard to take them down. My point is, GSP is a counter wrestler while silva is a counter striker. GSP not going to get out of position to take a shot. Hes not the same type of wrestler to fight through a bas position like sonnen is able to, and you know hes not going to be over aggressive on the feet. So what is he going to do to open silva up? Silva has shown that if you dont want to attack him, that hes more than willing to sit back and let the crowd boo. Is GSP willing to put a fight like that on? ow granted GSP gets booed when he lays on the guys, but when your actually taking guys down and throwing punches and staying dominant, its a little different than standing in front of your opponent and dancing. |

I don't think GSP has to do anything really to open Silva up, just pick his spots. His best bet maybe trying to force Silva into the cage and take him down from there, taking away Silva space to counter. Then of course you have to worry about the Thai clinche, but GSPs grappling should be good enough to avoid it. I'm not sure what GSP would do going into the fight, but I'm sure he and Greg Jackson would come up some plan to get Silva down.

I need Rated R Classic to comment in this thread because he was really high up on Vitor beating Silva for a long time.

Sure, the Sonnan fight was bad but so was GSP's vs Hardy.. I mean, sure GSP did whatever he wanted transitioning on the ground but he couldn't put Hardy away.. GSP did enough to get a decision.. Don't really see how it's that different than Silva choking Sonnen out in the fifth.. He did enough to win.. GSP couldn't do shit to Hardy on top and Silva has proven he is so much more dangerous off his back than Hardy.. Other than me just out right agreeing with you that GSP will come in and dominate Silva with wretling, I really don't know what you want me to say.. That's why I don't understand why you (and Newstead) freak the fuck out when ever this is brought up.. |

The problem is after 5 rounds GSP won, if the Sonnen/Silva fight had gone the distance we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

And Jackson is good, but its hard for me to imagine a plan he can make to get at silva. Its weird to say, but I dont think GSP has the skill set to get silva down the ways others have. |

and the way judges score fights, hed win by octagon control of some shit... and GSP is very aware of his self image and he will not stand in front of a guy and do nothing if he thinks he could lose especially if the crowd is livid.

Yeah but it proves that even though GSP is a good wrestler, he wasn't able to put Hardy away.. Hardy is no where near the level Silva is off his back.. The last time GSP finished someone was Serra 3 years ago.. (BJ Penn gassed and quit..)
GSP is great, but he is not a killer like Silva.. |

True, but GSP can afford to be boo'd, Silva really can't at this point, not that Silva would, or should care. That's why I just rushing in for a double or forcing him into the cage and working a single are his best bets, but like you said Silva doesn't wanna let go if he doesn't have to. Its why GSP has to close distance without striking and just shoot, and maybe the first 2 get stuffed, but eventually I think GSP should be able to get him down, now while doing that, he need to avoid counters and knees.
