I am not saying GSP is so far above Silva, but I think he is a much smarter fighter. I also think Silva will come in cocky and GSP will come in ready and focused. GSP by TKO in the 2nd.
I am probably going to get slammed for my opinion, but it is my opinion. The truth is, everyone considers Anderson Silva to be the new Fedor (simply because he beat Franklin for the second time, in a less devestating fashion no less). Anderson is the king of the smallest division in MMA. I am not trying to discredit him. He is an AMAZING fighter.. but it doesn't change the fact that he rules over the least stacked division in MMA.
maybe he is a top ten P4P.. but is he #1? No.

LOL is all i have to say about that.
Anderson has a solid ass chin.
Anderson is in the top 3 strikers in MMA.
When does Anderson ever come in cocky an underestimate someone, that is what GSP does.
Fact is GSP can not stand with Anderson plain an simple. I don't care how good his kicks are, how fast he is, or how good of a striker people think he is. Anderson will knock him out.
Take the knees away from Anderson what does he have, he still has amazing fast accurate punches that seem to find his mark every time he throws them.
Look at what Serra did to GSP, an don't pull that shit GSP just got caught shit either. Anderson is a much better striker who is also much faster then Serra, when Serra his GSP that one time, Anderson would have already hit him 4 or 5 times an with 3 knees and a kick.
You say Anderson isn't great at BJJ or whatever. But what is GSP great at, if anyone says striking i will fall over laughing. His wrestling is good, his take down d is the best weapon he has, his striking is good and his bjj is good.
Anderson has better kicks, punches, knees, elbows, bjj. GSP has a wrestling advantage over Anderson, that is it. Anderson is taller, bigger and stronger.
Yeah gsp takes him down an then does what. Nate M is light years ahead of GSP on the ground an coudlnt do anything to Anderson. Anderson got up and knocked him out.
Anderson will knock out GSP.
GSP looks good against people he can man handle or who he is bigger then. Let him fight someone for once who is bigger and stronger an see what he does then.
Also Anderson gets GSP in the clinch, GSP goes to sleep like Franklin did.
I for one to not think Anderson is p4p the best.
Also Anderson has gotten better since his loss to Chonnan.
Oh this is the part that i found funny, GSP working his magic, what magic would that be. Would that be the magic that allowed him to submit Koscheck who has very little bjj skills. Oh thats right he didn't sub Kos.
Anderson's ground game is alot better then Koscheck.
I normally agree with most of your posts, but this post imo is just way out their.
Anderson does rule the mw division, but GSP can't even rule WW yet he is going to be the MW champion.
GSP is a very good fighter but Anderson is the better fighter, an the smarter fighter.
This is one fight were GSP is the smaller fighter, and is out matched.
