hmm...
If Gsp could use that snappy jab of his to keep Silva away and hit him with many effective leg kicks, he could do good
he would have to improve his head movement though, to avoid silva's hands
if silva were to use kicks often st pierre would get an opening and get the TD
from there GSP fights very tenatively but still scores points. I think St. Pierre would be able to control Silva on the ground
It's a tough call though. I'm not going to say that one fighter would clearly dominate, but i will say that i think GSP would win. Of coarse he is one of my favorite fighters but oh well.
Although i do know GSP does not have elbows nearly as good as A. Silva's (saw a video of him knocking a dude out with an elbow standing). and A Silva's striking is alot more polished
but Gsp does have probably the best, quickest jab in ufc, with sick leg kicks.
Bottom Line: If Gsp keeps his distance standing up and uses his jab/leg kicks VERY effectively, and takes silva down and controls him, i see GSP winning by Stoppage or Decesion, not tko
