Who Wins, GSP or Fitch - Silva or Okami
These 2 fights have yet to be officially announced but we all know they are on the horizon. So it's never too early to start breaking them down.
In my opinion, besides the GSP-Serra fights, these 2 main events haven't been this lopsided for favorites in quite a while.
GSP vs Fitch
I don't see Fitch being able to do anything with GSP at all. Sure Fitch is 8-0 in his UFC career but there's a reason he was in the first match of the night on the last card he was a part of. His fights are usually dry and not alot going on. I was as shocked as anyone when he beat Diego and he deserves all the credit for what he's done so far, but I don't see him even coming close to beating GSP. This guy is turning the corner into his prime and is going to be dangerous at WW.
Silva-Okami
Go ahead and cut and paste everything I said about Fitch for Okami. And I would say Silva is alot better than GSP. I see this one being over quick. Okami, in my opinion should thank his lucky stars that there are no soccer kicks or foot stomps in this fight. I see Silva connecting with a shot and pounding him out.
The UFC should put both of these fights on the same card to try to sell them both together. I don't see either fight being able to sell PPVs by itself. UFC 88: Merciless Beating would be a fitting title . . . IMO.
