TDD-wrestlers-blah you means wrestlers like Dan Henderson? Chael? GSP rasslin is great but he doesnt bring a damn thing to the table to threaten Silva. Anderson by fists. You have ignored this user.

ChokeEmOut - Not sure why Rashad would perpetuate something as stupid as GSP giving Silva problems.

This is one of the most pathetic propaganda pieces from dips shit BLAF ever! GSP is tiny in comparison and gets beat up by Shields and Condit..imagine if Silva hits him.

GSP is the only one being smart about it, he knows Silva is too big and too skilled.

You mean you actually have to ask?

Rashad wants to get AS sufficiently mad at him so he will want to fight him!

And I'm all for it - anything to get Rashad down to 185.

I think Rashad's got it about right.

Consider the opponents that Silva has faced, not one of them would beat GSP, imo. Sonnen, Okami, Bonnar, Belfort, Maia, Griffin, Leites, Cote, Irvin, Marquardt, Leben, Franklin, .. Henderson would put up a helluva scrap, for sure, but I'd say GSP would still take decision.

Of course, the same could be said of GSP's record, where I'd say Condit would give Anderson a run for his money as well. To say that GSP would lose definitely to Anderson is foolish.

That being said, Condit in the middleweight division.. interesting, very interesting.

people are underestimating GSP in this fight, imo. i dount agree with hashad that he "definitely" wins but he can definitely take anderson down, definitely hold him there, definitely deliver damage and avoid submissions.

the question is, can he do it for 5 rounds without getting blasted? i doubt that very much but very much want to see it.

the size differential is greatly overstated. they are only around 10-12 pounds difference fighting weight in the cage as it is. a 177 lb catch weight will put them at around the same weight.

BoilerBrawnByBeatdown - lol@people who bring up the 1st Sonnen fight, unless GSP comes in juiced and Anderson comes in injured, that ain't gonna happen.

and second, GSP's takedowns are NOTHING like Sonnen's.

Sonnen doesn't care if he gets hit coming in, he's going forward no matter what. If you think GSP is going to go in recklessly like Sonnen, you are a DUMB FUCK.

That last part is the salient point, IMO. And it's why I believe you to be completely wrong about GSP's chances.

GSP won't risk Silva's power. GPS will set up Silva for a TD. And he'll get it. As a couple of others have mentioned - it's what he can do when he gets there, and will he be able to avoid Silva's striking throughout the fight in order to get the TDs.

GSpenn fan -
Sal Penis - GSP takes Anderson down all fucking day.

he will make it look easy....GSP has been out wrestling collegiate wrestling stars in the WW division for YEARS...people are letting these silly weight classes cloud the obvious...

.GSP will take silva down, the only difference between GSP and Sonnen is while GSP will give up some size and strength he has much quicker takedowns and way better BJJ...he wont get subbed from the bottom..

Can GSP avoid the KO? That is the question

Wow with a name like that you CAN'T be biased.

Yeah, thinking about it.. Hendo vs GSP would be very difficult for Georges, hell, I give Hendo a very big chance against anyone, Spider included.

MMALOGIC Edited: 11/21/12 11:33 AM Member Since: 8/17/08 Posts: 7083	GSP is gonna take him down... so what? I bet anderson does more damage from the bottom than GSP can do from the top. The difference is GSP has to take him down every round and keep him there while Anderson can finish the fight at any time. You have ignored this user.

gsp isn't chael.. chael has like 20 lbs on him

this is true, but GSP can't be subbed like chael can. definitely an uphill battle for GSP, and anderson should be favored a little bit more than -160, but still this is a winnable fight for georges, imo.

dabigchet Member Since: 9/10/07 Posts: 10713	KingofBJJ - What the hell is Rashad "porn start" Evans talking about? Silva has the second best takedown defense in the UFC. Bonner couldn't take him down. Sonnen was only able to take him down once. Okami couldn't take him down. I just don't these fights supporting his argument. sonnen took him down in 6 rounds consecutively. You have ignored this user.
