GSP vs Silva

[VictorCharlie]

I'm really feeling like this doesn't happen. GSP has a legit #1 contender in Hendricks. Nick Diaz is 1-2 wins from being back in the title picture and Rory will get some talk if he has an impressive win over BJ. GSP has stated a fight with Anderson will require a permanent move to 185 and I don't see Anderson agreeing to a catch weight. If Weidman or Bisping get an impressive win over Boetsch and Belfort respectively then both will have legit claims to a title fight. Silva has stated he is taking time off and open to either GSP or Jones. GSP has possibly 3 meaningful fights at WW, Silva vs Jones is probably a bigger fight and Anderson will have 1-2 title contenders after a well deserved break. I think all of this rules out a GSP/Silva fight in the future or maybe at all.

Anderson wants it's he came and spoke to Dana after the UFC 154. Dana want's its. It's just a matter of time! There talking around May with it either being Cowboys stadium/Brazil. Just need to get GSP on board.

Some gif's I made of the UFC 154 - GSP X Carlos Condit fight from this past Saturday:

Round 1



Round 2







Round 3

The Silva vs GSP fight will happen. The only reason Silva didn't get in the ring and call him out is because he isn't that type of guy, but he wants to fight. The permanent weight catch might not fly though

[Stickgrappler]

even if GSP agreed to fight, would he fight in Brazil? i doubt it, doubt if Silva will fight in Montreal

would have to be a neutral venue

[Stickgrappler]

call me silly i liked these 2 kicks - bad setup... GSP wasn't fooled... but i liked them

Rd 3 after Condit's combo which knocked down GSP, GSP replies later with this takedown after he sets it up with a few punches

Wow. I like gsps counters!

Its a shame.

I like both silva and gsp. I feel as though gsp is being pressured into a situation that he seems a bit reluctant in.

Silva is the favorite and i cant see how gsp will win as silva seems to enjoy pain with his granite chin.

[ruthless rocco]

i realize gsp was out for 19 months and may have had some ring rust...but based on what i saw i don't think he can handle silva. but i'd like him to beat silva.

[mattboxingfan]

Apparently Silva would like it to be a catch weight fight at 177 seem's fair enough but no word from GSP yet.

I think GSP has a great chance in the fight. Considering Chael got Anderson down in there second fight and pretty easily got mount on him I have no doubt GSP will be able to and he will use it. Anderson doesn't have much urgency off his back nor does he attempt many submissions. I know, I know he got Chael in there first fight but for 4 rounds he didn't really attempt any.

[TysonBomb]

I'm presuming that Silva would be the favorite in this matchup?

[imp]

Body lanuage tells me that gsp does not want this.
Gsp is a great fighter and i like watching him fight but jon jones has more of a chance against silva than jones does surely?

[VictorCharlie]

I'm still betting this isn't going to happen. By the time this makes sense I think Silva will have hung up the gloves or GSP won't be interested in campaigning at MW.

Somehow, I think it will happen, not sure of the weight though, GSP did insist that not long ago, Silva was fighting much lower so I guess it is a kind of leverage to make sure that he won't have to gain too much weight for that one. I am pretty sure that White will do whatever it takes to make it happen and will sure use extra money to lure both of them into a fight.

Money talks..

I don't know if they get a percent of PPV sales but they are contracted so I think they make the same amount regardless of who they fight. I personally think a Silva vs Jones fights is bigger and would be more entertaining.
