Honestly though, I feel like GSP vs Silva would be a lot like the first Sonnen vs Silva fight. GSP will be scared to stand and take Silva down immediately. Then he'll try to hold him there as long as he can so he can try and get a boring decision. Silva will finish GSP one way or another before the end of the 5th round though IMO.

yeah, anybody who stands with silva is an idiot
i think if that fight were to ever happen, silva would work ALOT on his ground game, but then again gsp is smaller than sonnen so silva might not have as much trouble preventing takedowns and whatnot
would be an epic fight nonetheless, but knowing dana it won't happen lol

If he tried to do to Silva what he did with Diaz, he's going to get KTFO. GSP is going to be slower as well after putting on more weight.

As much as I would love to see this, I don't think it's gonna happen. I think a superfight with GSP is much more likely. Maybe Silva could make it his last fight before he retires, but I really don't see it happening.

I'd love to see silva vs jbj or gsp, NOW while he's still in his prime
But ofc Dana's gonna pull the same thing he did with Fedor... everyone wanted to see Fedor vs Brock but nooooo
Dana wants to do Fedor vs Brock after Fedor got exposed 3x in a row and retired and Brock got ragdolled and went back to the WWE
Dana logic'd

No I don't think that's the case this time. He did mention that he wants to get one of those fights done this year. One rumor was he wanted that fight at MSG if MMA gets sanctioned in NY. I think GSP was ducking Silva and Hendricks a bit when he asked for a fight with Diaz. If when Silva beats Weidman or if Weidman gets hurt, I think they should make this fight happen.

The issue with Fedor was his manager/agent's ridiculous demands. I think he wanted like 50% control of UFC to sign Fedor before those 3 losses. Dude must have been crazy high to ask for that

Cool

GSP will never take that fight with Silva. He would absolutely have no chance to make it to the final round to get a decision, forget about him knocking out or submitting Silva. His only chance is to make it to the judge......
not happening

I fully agree. And this makes it better coming from someone from Canada. It would come off as bashing if I said it. The Silva vs Jones is a much better matchup. GSP is boring....what's that I fell asleep watching GSP fight. Big Rig is going to break his left hand along with GSP's face when they step in the ring. He has been ducking Silva and now Hendricks. Well He can't duck either now. He has to pick his poison. Fight Hendricks for the title or do a super fight with Silva. Either way I see him losing which ever fight he takes. Does he lose the belt or solidify Silva a little bit more as the best pound for pound fighter on the planet. Of course to be the undisputed best he needs to face Jones before retiring. This may all go down as a Pacman vs Mayweather deal. Lots of talk but no action from one side or the other to get a deal signed and make it happen.

Something needs to happen in the 205 class period. There at one time it had a dozen of great fighters. Now if like one. And that Jones.

I think Jones will eventually move to HW. Not sure how long it will take, but it will probably happen eventually. Silva did mention in one interview that he'd consider fighting Jones if he got past GSP.

As he gets older he will more than likely make the move. He doesn't walk around at 205 naturally. There is a reason why he dwarfs everyone in LHW. Not saying he can't continue to cut for the rest of his career but he shot to stardom much younger and will have cleared the LHW class out much earlier. If he wants a challenge it will be at HW. He is just to big for LHW. Alex Gustaffason is the only one with a similar frame that can match his range. Belfort is the only one who has threatened him in a title fight with a submission attempt.
