Probably comes down to which animals they prefer
Silva fans prefer goats
gsp fans prefer ducks

thats the point Einstein.....Any good athlete
“Most skilled fighter we’ve ever seen”GSP represents clean and pure fighting as he was one of the first advocates for stricter drug-testing , A.Silva in the otehr hand represents PED cheating .
GSP is the best athlete we've ever seen and also the most skilled fighter we've ever seen.
Truly the GOAT.
I think there are more of us than you think.
But it's easier (in an intellectually lazy way) to bucket everything into an either-or, black-or-white, yes-or-no, binary option.
"GSP or SILVA, YOU CANNOT HAVE BOTH!"
Yes. Yes, you can.
Guess what else? I watched and enjoyed UFC and PrideFC
Anderson was oldAs a fan of both I look no further than Bisping in terms of who I rate the greatest
GSP is an average guy, not particularly gifted........come on
Kind of funny that the naturally Athletic one who was an A level prospect from the beginning of his career, winning a UFC title at age 25, is referred to as a Nerd and the skinny underweight one who peaked in his 30's, winning a UFC title at 31 and proved to be a steroid cheat is "Athletic".They're two of the best we've ever seen. Period. Quit fighting and appreciate them both.
With that said, I don't buy your perspective that GSP was not particularly gifted and not an A level athlete. GSP is a freak athlete as far as I can tell. He certainly has the crazy work ethic and mindset, but he's got the elite athleticism as well. That's why he's one of the best ever.
Someone asked recently why there are so few people who are fans of both Anderson Silva and GSP. It’s a reasonable question. Both are great fighters, they never fought, not even same division. It would seem to make sense for people to like both. However, so few do. Why is that? Let me explain.
It’s what the fighters represent. Andy was an incredible athlete. He was quick, he was agile, he was fast, he was a naturally gifted athlete. He did things in the ring no one will do following his reign.
Then you have GSP. In terms of PERCEPTION, he was the guy who worked his way to the top. Not particularly gifted, not the A level athlete. A disciplined student of the game who was willing to adapt and change to get the victory.
People who like Anderson tend to be athletes themselves, true competitors. It’s also why they’re willing to forgive his juicing — they understand if you’re not willing to go too far you’ll never go far enough. They understand the will to win at all costs. The thought of tapping to strikes disgusts them.
People who like GSP probably got bullied in high school. They might still be a virgin. They weren’t athletes, they did karate at age 12 to stop the local bully only to get beat up worse in high school. In their defense, they’re more inclined towards beliefs in the value of honor and fairness.
TLDR: Anderson fans are athletes, GSP Fans are nerds
Not reallyAnderson has the best highlight reel
Gsp has the best resume
Love both
fuck off
