    It would be Dana's worst nightmare if BJ finishes GSP and then uses the crowd to push a fight with Anderson :lol: Is it me, or did anyone else notice after BJ weighed in, him and Dana didn't shake hands. Every other fighter shook hands with Dana except BJ. I think the beef about the show is real now.

    Well I'm not surprised. Dana was a **** to Fitch and tries to contorl BJ. And BJ hates it.

    1% :lol: Silva would destroy GSP. Silva has the long reach to keep GSP away and when they get close, silva has awesome muay thai to knee gsp in the body and in the face. Silva by Knockout :D

    Don't get me wrong I dislike GSP immensely, but this would be a close fight with Silva being the hard earned victor.

    It's right that the Wrestling of GSP, wouldnt cause any problem to A.Silva after all.
    GSP don't have the takedown of Travis ''Cardio Freak'' Lutter!

    You guys also got to take into account the size difference between Silva and GSP. When was the last time GSP faced a guy 6'2 and with such a reach? Not to mention Silva is a stronger striker to begin with, add the size and reach advantage and this is a mismatch. This gives GSP as much chance as any other average guy Silva has faced, which isn't much.

    GSP's athleticism and skills may compensate for any disadvantages against average bigger guys, but Silva is not your average guy - he is a big middle weight and is lethal on his feet, not to mention he has top tier skills as well.

    Yep, but his takedown defence is lacking vs a guy like GSP, it will come down, to, Does GSP can hold Silva down and GnP him? If he cant, then he will lose, if he can damage him there, he has a chance.
