UFC dream match: Anderson Silva vs. Georges St-Pierre - latimes.com

I cant wait for this matchup. I love GSP but if I were a betting man I would have to put my money on Anderson.

Are you kidding? GSP will tear Silva apart.

I don't know shit about MMA, but I've learned never to bet against GSP.

I don't know shit about MMA, but I've learned never to bet against GSP.

Up until now GSP has never faced an opponent like Silva. Silva has not lost a match in over six years and he has a history of destroying oppenents in the first round. GSP will also have to go up a weight class in order to fight him. Silva is 6' 2", all limbs, and is very fast, powerful and accurate in his striking. Imo, in order for GSP to win it will have to be on the ground.

I would feel a lot better about this fight if Silva and GSP could meet halfway in weight. Silva would never agree to that though. He loves to keep his competitve edge. He has already refused to fight some fighters at 205, saying that they should go to 185 instead.

Gotcha. Like said, I don't know much about MMA and it sounds like you do. I could be wrong, but GSP is a hekk of a fighter.

Jon Jones is the real deal. 12-1, pretty much undefeated except for that disqualification in that fight against Hamil was his only loss. I think he'll win over Shogun. This kid has so much raw talent and skill. He is the future for 205.

Very true. GSP is considered by many to be the #1 pound for pound mma fighter in the world. Even if he loses to Anderson he will still be the #2.

I agree, he is amazing. I find it interesting that he has a similar build to Silva.

Jake Shields should give GSP a run for his money come UFC 129. Heck if he wins that, Shields can move up to 205 and take a shot at Silva as well.

 

[Curtrain]

Shields is no joke. It would be a mistake for any fighter to look past him. Knowing GSP though, I doubt he will take Shields lightly.

Here is an interesting article on Shields:

Sorry UFC fans, but Jake Shields plans on spoiling the Anderson Silva vs Georges St. Pierre superfight - MMA Mania

If Shields and Silva were to fight in the future, I think it will be at 185.

Steven Seagal helped trained Silva......

As long as he's not his nutritionist...

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

Shields has run his mouth just like Serra, Penn, Fitch and Koscheck did and come UFC 129 will suffer the same ass kicking they all did.

Lets get real people; GSP takes Silva any day of the week

 

[Dacks]

GSP is my favourite fighter and I think Silva is a pompous ass, but if you don't think GSP is a huge underdog in that fight you're mistaken.

 

[sportfan09]

they are both pretty equal,would be one of the best fights.......flip a coin on who to bet on......belfort already lost when he walked in the ring lol...out matched out classed..maybe if he was his old self he might of had a chance

Pompous ass? Silva is one of the most respectable fighters out there are you kidding me?!

 

[mooger_35]

ya that fight against Maia was all about respect wasn't it...

I just hate the last name Silva and Gracie.
