Biggest test for GSP?

Darkheart · 07-12-2009, 06:11 AM

If Thiago was supposedly his biggest test who else then Anderson Silva is left for GSP?

He was never in trouble in the fight (maybe just cuz he pulled his groin)

they should meet at a catchweight

who would u favor?

I don't see anybody beating GSP right now.... I'd love to see GSP and Silva though.

Do you think Forrest can hang with Silva?

I think GSP would take a fight with Anderson, but Hendo would cause major problems for GSP at MW.

A catch-weight would be stupid. Why hold up two titles? Just do the fight at 185 for the MW belt.

ufc needs to at least sign nick diaz or jake shields to at least throw in some more contenders...as for fighter left in the ufc ww div id say kampman and condit will serve the biggest threat

anderson silva by KO.

Well last night JR Aked Joe Silva who is next and he said the winner of Swick/Kampmann. After lastnights performance he may wanna put them both in with him at the same time.

GSP's wrestling unfortunately seems to be unstopppable, however i think it makes for seriously boring viewing.
His first priority is always to make his opponent gas as quickly as possible and he has become an expert at it.
Perhaps it could be seen as negative/containing tactics.
Silva is almost the exact opposite, he relies far less on tactics and relies on his natural talent, which in my mind is a more positive/natural way to fight and therefor i think he would triumph.
Alves may as well have stayed in bed.

Thiago would destroy both those guys...

GSP, although handled Alves with easy, could not finish him, wasn't even close to finishing him. Alves is one strong dude, and showed great a gas tank, he would bully Shields, and would knock Diaz out...

GSP is too smart a fighter for Diaz or Shields.

I like GSP, but I think A. Silva's reach and height will give GSP a hard time finding the range. A. Silva would probably dominate GSP in the clinch too....A.Silva by TKO via knees from the thai clinch like vs Franklin

Considering the recent performances by those two, I think they at least deserve a chance(another in Nick's case) in the UFC.

I know the Japanese aren't big on cutting weight, but Sexyama looks small enough to drop to WW. He could give George a fight.
