    Man this guy has been dominating everybody lately. He already defeated 2 # 1 contender in the welterweight division in alves and fitch. Those 2 were the top welterweights before they fought him. So who's next for GSP?

    I honestly don't know. The only guy in the WW division I thought would give him problems (Alves) and possibly knock him out, he beat up with ease. He is too fast, too strong for the rest of them in that division. I think its a bit too much to ask him to move up in weight and fight Anderson Silva on his first fight at middleweight. Move up in weight, get a few fights under his belt, yes, but to move up and the spider right away, hell no.

    I just think gsp is too small for middle tbh, but if he wants to really go for it that's what he'll do. At this point he can dominate the WW division for years to come. Can't see anyone touching him there for the time being.

    None of them imo. Fitch and BJ theres no point. He's beaten BJ twice already and beat Fitch by blowout. And then Silva will just beat him plain and simple imo. I think GSP is too small for MW, he said so himself last night Does he really want to do what BJ Penn has done?

    So that leaves him in a bit of a bind. He could test the waters at MW as Silva did at LHW. Either that or he stays at WW but there aren't too many guys left around anymore. Winner of Swick/Kampmann I suppose. They need to get a guy like Condit moving along fast so he's in position to get a title shot.

    Anderson Silva is the only fight for GSP. I know they were mentioning Mike Swick as a possible contender - but comeon - give me a break. Would anyone outside of Swick's family even give him the slimmest chance against GSP?

    The only challenge left for GSP is Anderson Silva.

    Rumble in a year or 2 would be a good contender. But I don't see no one beating GSP. No one.

    Kampman-Swick id only give Swick a decent chance to KO GSP but neither guy has much of a chance. Hes truely cleaned this divison out and he cant rematch people hes done brutally assaulted. He could retire right now and noboddy could ever say he ducked this guy or that guy. Hes ate this divison straight up top to bottom.

    Jake Shield could come in the UFC to fight GSP. But it would be a carnage, but Shield is a pretty good wizard with submission . Anyway, 170 need new bloods. Rumble is on the way.

    I guess at this point, he'll have to enter that dangerous match-up with Silva. It's that or bum of the quarter club.

    Yeah, its a no brainer. Don't know who will get the first shot (Hendo or GSP) at Anderson though. May depend on how bad GSP's injury is.

    i think it should be Swick because Swick is a tall striker who use to fight at 185. it would be a good tune up to fight to Silva if he wins

    Rumble is an legal trouble from what I gather. Shields will get murdered on his feet and wont be able to get the fight to the ground with GSP. Shields may be best beating up on the B level guys. Now its Kampman-Swick winner hopefully someone wins it big to make the fight with GSP worth getting.
