I would be 100% rooting for GSP.I feel like GSP is getting bullied into a fight with Silva.Silva obviously wants this fight cuz he has a huge size advantage on GSP.Silva has fought outta his weight class three times at light heavyweight .Gsp has always fought in his weight class.If i was Gsp I would agree to fight Silva ONLY at welterweight.Silva has fought in the weight class before.I think its the only way this would be fair.Silva would give up alot of his advantages due to cutting weight.I just dont like gsp chances at a catch weight or a middle weight fight.But im sure the ufc will throw crazy amounts of money at both fighters to make this fight happen.No matter who wins this will be the biggest fight for ppv buys and will break gate records.

GSP vs Silva is a superfight. However, Silva vs Jones is the fight for best P4P in the world. And down the line, there's Jones vs JDS for best P4P or possibly some others will emerge by that time. It should all go down this way but barely any of it will...so stupid.

GSP didn't get beat up by Shields in the standup by any stretch. Especially when you factor in the significance of eyepoke that GSP sustained early on in the fight, which messed up his vision and depth perception for almost the entire fight, and yet he still managed to cruise through with basically one good eye.

Once again, you simply don't have a clue what you're talking about.

thats why I dont even read what the half-wit writes anymore, for the most part.

LOL, so true. I just watched the shields fight like last week. No fucking way in hell did he even come close to beating GSP in anything. Standup or otherwise. Fail of the day.

I want to see Jones vs Anderson even less because Jones will take him down easily and GnP him to a TKO within 2 rounds.

Shields definitely didnt beat up GSP... but did far better standing than almost any of GSP's opponents outside of Serra, BJ 1 and Carlos... If Jake actually had some power it may have been a different fight....

GSP clearly got the better of him... but still got hit several times, with a variety of different strikes..... by Jake Sheilds...

GSP got the W over a top10 WW and MW... but it is really hard to see that as an impressive performance by him... Even with the eye poke, GSP was very disappointed with his performance...

Im very annoyed by fans talking shit about a professional fighter, saying he is so boring, etc... but its odd to see his fans go out of their way to say how good he did against Shields and Hardy when he himself disliked how those fights went.... Every fighter has their off days.

I agree with the part of not wanting GSP to get "bullied" into that fight... He really has to want it... but I dont like the idea of guys like BJ stepping up to face him... and making Anderson move up to fight monster Jones.... While GSP doesnt have to do any of that...

Silva has fought outta his weight class three times at light heavyweight .Gsp has always fought in his weight class.

So because Anderson has moved up to test himself... GSP shouldnt have to fight him... because he himself has never moved up to test himself against bigger fighters...

Did GSP offer to go to LW or even a catchweight for the BJ fight... Im sorry I must have forgot...

Its called a "super fight" for a reason... typically the fighters are of a different size.

and I would have no problem with Anderson fighting GSP at WW, as long as he could make it perfectly... Anderson really started eating more when he finally hit it big... He used to be skin and bones, but now enjoys a better lifestyle... If he made the dedicated push and had the right people monitor every move in his life than it would be fair imo... but if he just tried to cut even more water weight it would be very detrimental to him.

You must have also forgot that BJ was the WW champion at one point. This nullifies any excuse to make it catch weight AND BJ wanted the belt again, I don't think you get the WW belt if your fighting at 160 lbs. Another thing people forget is that there was zero talk on these boards about the weight difference between the 2 fighters until after BJ lost. Then it turned into a million excuses by BJ nuthuggers and BJ himself.

Yep... He went up and tested himself after having a lot of success at LW... He was never a big LW to begin with(although most LW's werent at that time)

and many want Anderson to go up and face Jones who is a lot bigger any way you cut it...

yet when does GSP have to do it?

He really doesnt have to do anything, its his choice... but when we are talking legacies, P4P status, GOAT, etc... It would have to be an issue.

It's only because BJ had Hughes' number. The general strategy against BJ at WW is to make it out of the 1st round and then wear him down with size. Just because people didn't talk about it before the fight doesn't mean it's not there.

Everyone knows BJ is a totally different fighter then GSP. BJ is just a crazy guy, taking fights he has almost no chance of winning because he is so overconfident in his abilities. GSP would be giving up just as much size to Silva as BJ gave up to him, and he knows it's a bad idea.

From Silva's point of view, it's a pretty good idea. GSP is probably about as tough of a fight as Weidman is, but he would makes millions more and build a legacy. In the Weidman fight, he either beats an overhyped 20 year old or looks old. Clearly the GSP fight is much better for him.

From GSP's point of view, Silva is MUCH more dangerous then Hendricks. Hendricks, he should be able to beat relatively easily, while if he fights Silva he will probably lose. He makes way more money for fighting Silva, and also if he pulls off the win he's instantly a GOAT candidate. The fight is a much bigger risk for him.

They like to take everything at face value. If I said it was raining outside that would somehow end up in me saying a Hurricane was coming.

Says the guy who just said casual fans don't want to see GSP fight Silva based on a poll taken from a hardcore fan forum.... boi stop lol.
