    Having just seen that , can GSP shut out Anderson Silva ???

    Its realistic , i dont think GSP will rush Anderson down the way Sonnen did (which was a huge part of why he done so well IMO) , but he is as good a wrestler as Sonnen , and IMO has a better top game :deal

    This fight has to be made now , if GSP beats Kos this has to be the fight .............

    Thoughts ?? .........

    Let's see how we carries the weight while dealing with a big and lean MW.

    I got Silva in this fight. Silva is going to grow so much from this IMO.

    I think GSP would dominate Anderson if the weight gain didn't majorly affect him. He's a better wrestler than Chael, he's got better strikes from the top, and he wouldn't get caught in that sub.

    The only thing I'd be worried about is Chael did eat some good strikes from the standing position we haven't seen GSP take any big hits since Serra or at least that I can recall

    Great question. I see no reason GSP can't compete with and defeat Anderson Silva even before tonights fight.

    Not at middleweight because he would be, in my opinion, too small. At walterweight though, I think St. Pierre takes it.

    Silva would be too big. GSP would have some success, but not to the same extent that Sonnen did.

    It will depend if GSP has the strength at that weight for his takedowns

    Sonnen is a big middleweight, and so is Anderson. So yeah, GSP might be too small, but you never know...
