Anderson Silva vs Gustafsson

[Fincher7]

That's what the DC/Silva fight left me thinking about.

 

[Zerkalo.]

Huh?

 

[Melas Chasma]

Come on.. Gus is way too big for him.

 

[PureLite]

Prime Anderson Dismantles Gustafsson.

 

[WouldNotBang]

I think this is a fight to make. Anderson needs to fight guys who will only stand. When he isn't clowning and is fighting he looks good. He almost got DC at the end. He hurt him bad with that body shot.

 

[Zerkalo.]

Bisping rocked him and knocked him down, Gus hits way harder...

 

[ssBaldy]

What has Anderson ever done to you, TS?

Don't count out The Spider.

Except Gustafsson would probably take him down. Why wouldn't he?

I would be pissed. I want someone of this era to try to outstrike him.

 

[ssBaldy]

I am not counting him out. His knees/elbows/ front kicks can hurt anyone on UFC roster. But a younger proficient striker with a much larger frame would cause him trouble stylistically. Also, Gus sent Jones to hospital.

If dc trained for spider specifically,he would have destroyed him,as would most of the other top lhws.

But Anderson is better striker than Gus and could conceivably dodge Gus' shots and land his own.

I get a feeling Gus would fill the cage with teh jabs and woul be successfully utilising his reach while slowly beating Spider's face to bloody pulp. Spider got dropped by Bisping.

Yes and no. His offensive skill is still there, but his reflexes seem to have slowed and Cormier caught him a few times with hard but telegraphed punches. Don't think he should be fighting a much bigger guy with good striking at this point.

Yeah and Rockhold got knocked out cold by Bisping.

 

[tracksuitfan]

I actually think thats a great fight.

I am not saying The Count is a can. I am a fan of his, but obviosly Gus utilises his reach better and hits harder then Mike.

Bisping has very good boxing, it's under appreciated because he's only recently started sitting down on his punches.

Yes, his boxing is good. It has been good even before, when he lacked one punch power.
