Yes your right. Silva will get up easily if hes taken down by GSP. However GSP will be lucky if he has any cognitive functions left after one punch from Silva.

silva is 6'2'' and moves like a cat. that counts for more than being 5'10'' and buff.
c'mon! don't even go there.

if this fight happens, silva will not practice his takedown defense. he will submit GSP with strikes from guard. GSP will be able to take him down but he won't be able to advance position and he's to short to work some gn'p on anderson, if he postures up, he'll get knocked out. and also - GSP's nifty new jab is gonna work about as well against anderson as sean sherk's did against bj penn.


yeah and everyone said he couldnt pass penns gaurd
penn is little! rubbery, but little.

it's not the punches that scare me. it's the knees kicks and subs that make AS a bad, bad man. those longs limbs are bad news for gsp, unfortunately. his leverage will come into play cometh game day, i think.

I gotta stat for you. GSP is about to fight a higher ranked MW then Anderson Sliva just fought.

The reason most of Silvas opponents arnt in the UFC is because he utterly destroyed them and made them look like a fool who didn't deserve to be in the UFC. GSP on the other hand fights people for 5 rounds and they don't have a scratch on them so obviosuly they don't get cut because they didn't get KTFO in the first round.

The fact that Silvas opponents are no longer in the UFC is testament to how badly he kicked their ass. So thanks for making another valid point in favour of Silva being the numebr 1 p4p fighter.

True, but the guy Silva just kicked in the face in his first round victioy is a former LHW champ in two seperate orgs, and a HW tournement winner. Just sayin'

I agree with you but you sound more like a GSP hater than an AS fan...
