I think at 185 silva has too much of a strength advantage and this fight ends with GSP KTFOed by a knee w/o being remotely competitive. Besides for GSP to fight at 185 I think he has to add to much muscle to still be quick which is his one of his strengths at 170. Now at a 175 or 178 (Silva has fought at 175 before @ ROTR) catch weight fight I think this fight is a little closer, but Silva still wins because unless GSP can straight up molest him with takedowns and ground control, anderson tears him up on his feat, the same way he did to Hendo.
