while not fighting Jon Jones who for nearly a year said he was open to fighting Silva.
JBJ is Silva's friend don't you know , they BFF since Jones won the belt .

That's not true. It's not the standard case of a fighter simply answering a reporters question. GSP has been bringing up weidman every time the media brings up anderson.
"so how do you think you match up against anderson?"
"well, it doesn't matter because I KNOW weidman is going to finish him"
It's a cop out.

Would you rather he just lie like Silva does when asked about Jones?
no, I just call a spade a spade. GSP wants nothing to do with anderson, he has indirectly made that very clear. I simply would respect him more if he was direct about it (don't misinterpret that and think I don't respect him because he won't fight anderson).
This "weidman will finish him" line is a cop out imo, and one that gsp has been actively promoting so as to avoid questions about fighting silva, as opposed to simply bringing up in response to questions.
Fair enough but at the same time GSP has a fight booked already and his training parter is booked to fight Silva so the answer does make sense.
So someone asks GSP who he thinks will win the fight, GSP answers Honestly, and that is embarrassing?
One of the greatest of all times opinion on how a fight will play out is embarrassing? Really? If A. Silva gives an opinion on the Machida/Bones fight will that also be embarrassing?

He has/had the opportunity for JJ.
GSP gave his opinion, nothing wrong with it.

What it boils down to in GSP no fight Silva, Silva no fight Jones is that SILVA is honest about not wanting to fight Jones.
GSP - well....not so much.
Except Silva also said he'd fight Jon Jones, but everyone kept moaning about Silva fighting Weidman.
Anderson Silva finally feedbacks someone. After GSP saying Weidman would shock the world by finishing Silva, the Spider answers him:
"Could you wonder what if I paid attention to what everyone says? People do what they have to do, what is the best for themselves. He (GSP) had the chance to fight me but he didn't want to. It's better a talking parrot than a legless turtle"
"I'm doing this since I was 8yo. There is nothing he can do that will surprise me. I've already faced a lot of things."

GSP makes predictions all the time for UFC Central and Sportsnet in Canada... The UFC just never airs it in the US and it doesn't make the news much on here unless a Canadian poster makes a thread about it it.
The one time one of his predictions has got around, everyone's making a big deal about how GSP's coming out and saying Weidman will win when pretty much before every event Sportsnet asks fighters who will win in the upcoming fights and GSP is generally one of their go to guys.
He makes predictions all the time. Him saying Weidman will win is really nothing special
Yea, at this point anything GSP says about Silva is pretty much going to embarass himself only.
lol
I remember when Georges was talking about moving up to 205. Yeah, not 185, but all the way up to 205.
Now he's talking about there being no point in talking about a fight with Anderson because he knows Weidman will beat him.
I doubt even Georges fans buy his bs by now.
"The smaller fighter had the chance to fight me because I like easy fights, but he's a legless turtle...No, I won't be fighting Jon Jones because I am a huge hypocrite and I know I would end up with and elbow through my face and I only take easy fights at 205".
Christ, I hope Weidman mauls him just so I can collect the tears and laugh.
The sooner someone retires Anderson the better, hopefully Weidman can go full Takase on him. Take down, smother and submit.
Weidman won't be able to handle Silva's striking!
Good response by Anderson......GSP is a chicken shit.....and Weidman (UFC hype machine) is going to get masacred. Who do these guys think they are F$%king with here? This is Anderson Silva were talking about
