Who can beat this man at 185 or even 205???

There's not a lot of guy who has enough chin to take strike from Silva.
You need to be great at mixing your strike and your takedown to beat him. GSP is the better at it. Would he be able to do it? I dont know, the weight is an issue. If it's at 177lbs by exemple, it would advantage GSP than if it at 185lbs.
Silva is a big 185

 

no one can beat him????

Machida, Evans, Griffin, Jackson COULD beat him.

Would they beat him? I dont know, but lets not act like they would have no chance....
In fact I would bet that Evans, Machida and Jackson would beat him.
Griffin is the only one that I wouldnt favor over him but he would be competitive...more than Franklin...

 

No Jackson wont beat him..Jackson couldnt even attemp a takedown on Forrest for fear of getting hit..He wont get close to Silva... Griffin will get raped, he does nothing that Silva doesnt do better. Machidas patience will not work against a more patient fighter..Silva will also have an advantage on the ground... Evan lol..this guy cant even take St. Pierre down..Ohh he will stand with Silva ad slug to his demise.

 

what is funny that Evans can't take St. Pierre down(where did you read that)???
not a lot of guy can take him down..
And St. Pierre defence of takedown, is much more better than Silva's takedown defense who has been taking down by Travis ''no training'' Lutter and other as well.

Evans has all the tools to make it go to the decision.

 

Silva has gotten very hard to take down, but even taking him down is hardly a victory, he has been absolutely great on the ground; subbing Lutter and Hendo is incredibly hard, only people named Nog have subbed Hendo until Silva, and it took big nog 2 fights and around a thousand attempts to do it.

****ing Beautiful (the first part, not the injury)

 

Agreed and Cote has a decent sprawl.. people use the lutter fight as an example.. Silva has been working on his TD defense for over a year ...Evans is a longshot to beat Silva..Evans is very timid, he is not agressive at all ang looks to counter and even if he gets Silva down, what the hell can he do to prevent it from getting stood up? Just diff class..Cote can beat evans

 

but the Hendo sub victory, is much more due to Silva's strike than his BJJ..Hendo was hurt big time than Silva just finished him on the ground..like Fedor on Sylvia..
and yes that was a nice takedown defence transition to a takedown..but Cote's move was telegraphied in my opinion....

 

But Evans is a very good wrestler, and improve his game each fight..
I'm pretty sure he can hold Silva down like he want I think. Evans is a very strong 205lbs

 

Rewatched that Hendo fight..I love Hendo but the second round..contrary to what people have been saying, Hendo tried to take Silva down most of the round, he couldnt...Rashad is a freestyle wrestler..His shoots wont mean much to Silva...Its the greco roman guys who clinches like a couture that can take Silva down.

That Lutter fight, that was along time ago..One of those takedowns was due to Silva throwing a knee.. Nate wasnt able to do much...
But lastly, as we type here, Silva is sharpening his BJJ and wrestling skills and it shows everytime he fights, watch the way he tripped NAte down. I can see him ending up on top of rashad and then what does rashad do?

 

Cung Le would be competitive in a stand up and he is a great wrestler as well.

 

If Couture beats Lesnar perhaps a Couture vs Anderson Silva at 205

 

i'd put all my money on money mayweather to whip silvas ass standing or on the ground theres nothing mayweather cant do

 

Actually this is the guy that many dismisses but I see as a good matchup with Silva. The guy can strike with the best of them, he doesnt have scary power but neither does Silva. Terrific matchup. Id still give Silva the adv

 

Shut the **** up
