Could GSP beat Anderson Silva at 185?

Just for fun....I know GSP has absolutely no body fat on him, or so it seems....and I heard he walks around at like 185 to 190 already....just for fun...do you all think he can move up and beat Silva and hold two titles? He has said before that he wants to one day challenge somebody for their title in a higher weight class...that would be awesome.

I would love to see this match and I really do hope it happens some day.

If it stays standing Silva would get the KO so I think GSP would need to take Silva down and GnP.

It would be a fun fight to watch, but I think the Silva would end up taking the fight.

Yes he could. He does have the skill set to beat someone like Anderson Silva. I'm not saying he definitely 100% for sure wins this matchup, it's nothing close to that. But he is fully capable of winning that fight.

I doubt it. Anderson's just too good on the feet and is very good at preventing damage from the back. There's even a chance (albeit a slight one) that he could submit GSP...

dynamite matchup though.

Silva would destroy GSP, he'd have too much of a reach advantage. I think GSP is the best fighter at 170, but Anderson would KO him and it would be a beating.
