I'm going with Silva via brutal first round KO...

I disagree that it's "over-rated", Gsp's striking is good... the second part of that statement is right on the money though...
Even though GSP has the ability, should he pursue, to out strike many welterweights, based on previous fights of both fighters I think it's fairly obvious that Silva's striking is on a completely different level...
You can assume several things:
1. Anderson is going to be comfortable wherever the fight should go
2. Gsp is going to look to take the fight down
3. Both fighters are smart, in good shape, and have fought top level competition
I don't think conditioning enters into it, I don't think either guy is going to get tired. I think Gsp's best chance of winning is to lock in a submission on Silva or scoring on GnP...
but... to me that's a long shot... it's the path of least resistance to assume that Silva can catch Gsp...
Either way... and you can quote me on this... I do NOT see this fight happening anytime in the next 2 or 3 years.
