When does Anderson ever get cocky? Is that a serious statement?
He did under train for Matt Serra.. I am not going to even talk about him getting caught because who cares.. He looked small, I thought it and Hughes said it immediately after the post fight. It was clear that GSP was not training for Matt Serra.
Anderson does have good stand up. And that is his only really strong point.
His BJJ is not as amazing as you make it sound. Anderson has been submitted by 2 lesser fighters. He has ONE (3 if you count the 2 submissions via strikes) submission win in his entire career.. over Travis Lutter, who looked like a bag of shit that night (no disrespect intended, believe it or not) and who is not even close to a top fighter. If GSP and Anderson rolled.. 2 out of 3 times, I bet GSP wins. He has good wrestling and good BJJ.
If Anderson wins, it is via TKO.. and that is the only way. GSP is just as fast as Anderson, maybe the smallest fraction slower, but by a hair.
I still see GSP winning, probably in a GnP position, 2nd round.
And don't give me Taller, Bigger, Stronger... quality over quantity (and that isn't a reference to GSP vs. Silva.. that is a general statement about MMA).
We could debate this all year long.. but unless the fight happens, we will never know.

Yes Anderson is top 3 strikers in MMA. I knew that before he tooled Franklin the first time.
GSP is a good fighter no doubt but man Anderson is just better.
GSP couldn't even finish Kos on the ground and Anderson has by far the better ground game.
Anderson will out muscle and bully GSP just as GSP does to guys at ww.
GSP's skills will still be their but his tdd and his take downs won't be as effective at mw because he will be agaisnt bigger stronger fighters.
GSP has never had a fight where he was not the bigger fighter or stronger fighter in the UFC.
Lets see how he does against Fitch who is just as big an imo stronger. I think Fitch beats him but i hug his nuts so that don't really count.
GSP is a big WW but would be a average MW. Thats why he fights at WW because he is bigger an stronger their, just as Franklin fights at mw instead of lhw. At lhw Franklin would just be another fighter, at mw he stands out. Same goes for GSP.
Why wouldn't the bigger stronger more skilled fighter beat the smaller less skilled fighter.
Yeah Anderson has lost by sub, but GSP got knocked out by a natural LW who looks like Frodo.
