GSP versus Silva!!!! who the hell wants to see that shit. Jones versus Silva is what should happen. Silva is going to move from 205 to fight someone who has never fought higher than 170? Bitch move. Showing at GSPs next fight to call him out? Really? Completely bitch move, I lost what little respect I had for Silva.

Knowing the Sakara could go see it in person is the only good reason I've had for GSP v. Silva to take place.
F- it. Hope you get to see it, Sakara

I literally live 2 minutes from the stadium. Come on, income tax return!

Oddly we didn't go to the Fight Night in Austin though, don't remember why. But her favorite fighter of all time is GSP so if this happens, we'll get tickets and be there for sure.
Although a part of me wants Condit to win just so he can run around the octagon with his middle fingers in the air. | Well I suppose there is a good side to GSP loosing. That immediately puts another dent on his record and solidifies Silva. Ofcourse if he wins we get to see him potentially get KTFO.
Sounds like a win/win to me.

Damn if this does happen... Sakara can slap me right across the face so long as he takes me with him. No punishment, a good clean slap across the face.

Prepare to hate me......
I do VIP security for the cowboys stadium and I would work the event walking around suites meeting celebrities and fighters, and basically get paid to watch the fights.
In other words.....

I can't be the only one that sees this potential fight not being one that can sell out a stadium outside of Canada and Brazil. It's a big fight and perhaps my own bias towards the fight in general is getting the better of me but I think Dana's biting off more than he can chew with talk of Cowboys Stadium. That place is huge.
The UFC at Toronto's Rogers Stadium sold very well but it had a few things going for it. It was the first show in a hungry T.O. market and it featured a national hero in GSP in the main event as well as a strong undercard with plenty of Canadian talent. I just don't see Dallas having that same appetite for this one. Popularity of MMA in general is in a bit of a downward trend at the moment. I could see it sell maybe 20,000-25,000 pretty much anywhere but not much more. Not Cowboys Stadium.
