Silva v Rockhold

[Homervanderjaz]

Hypothetical match up with both fighters in their prime- who would you pick to win this?

 

[Sapp]

Depends on Luke's gameplan. Would be a bad fight for Anderson if Rockhold took him down and got on top. If Luke tries to kickbox with him he'll go down for sure though.

 

[ralphus1]

Anderson by KO or Luke by decision via keeping it on the ground.

Anderson finish is more likely.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Anderson doesn't even need to be in his prime

He'd KO Luke if they fought today

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

I would bet my ex-wife's life on Luke.... that's about it

 

[TheRassler]

Anderson doesn't even need to be in his prime

He'd KO Luke if they fought today

If pillow fisted Bisping can KO him, anybody can.

Easy. MMA math.
Silva kos belfort.
Belfort kos rockhold.
Silva wins via ko.

 

[Dozer .]

Anderson stiffens Rockhold within 5 minutes.

 

[Magnum1978]

Before luke got KO'd by bisping, I would have though 'Salt... but I think he's too chinny to take one from prime Andy... unless he got it to the ground, where I think he'd murder Anderson.

50/50 depending on Rockhold's gameplan and ability to get it to the ground

 

[arleyramos]

He can´t eat a punch from Silva.

 

[Sapp]

Easy. MMA math.
Silva kos belfort.
Belfort kos rockhold.
Silva wins via ko.

What about Rockhold > Weidman > Silva?
MMA math is dangerous to invoke here.

 

[martine1337]

This would have been an awesome fight, imagine silva pre weidman and rock hold pre vitor!

 

[BKB92]

All depends on how stupidly in love with Kickboxing Rockhold is.

He loses if he fights dumb, wins if he fights smart.

 

[Erocthadon]

Anderson would use Rockhold's sodium enriched tears to flavor his fries.

 

[JKS]

Anderson knocks Luke out, too precise with his punches and Lukes defense is shaky. Luke has the ground game but he chooses to keep the fight standing too long.

Na you just didnt multiply by 2. Simple rookie error on your part bruh. All good

 

[Gambit MMA]

rockholds takedown game not good enough. remember anderson was able to neutralize a big 185er like okami who was strong in the clinch where luke would try to take anderson down. and on the feet its not even close luke would be in panic mode

 

[Sonny Qc]

If pillow fisted Bisping can KO him, anybody can.

When it's not a GSP thread, you are a great poster.

2 thumbs Up

Anderson by Ko, Rockhold has always been overatted.
