Comments on: GSP Is Not Worthy of Anderson Silva http://www.cagepotato.com/2008/07/22/gsp-is-not-worthy-of-anderson-silva/ Sat, 22 Nov 2008 01:58:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: DLO MCNABB http://www.cagepotato.com/2008/07/22/gsp-is-not-worthy-of-anderson-silva/#comment-27154 DLO MCNABB Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:54:02 +0000 http://www.cagepotato.com/?p=2067#comment-27154 No question about it, GSP would take Silva to the ground right from the bell. The guy has an 80% success rate on his takedowns, that's ridiculous. He has dominated top wrestlers; Fitch, Hughes, Koscheck, Sherk. He was training for the Olympics and had never wrestled a day before he started training MMA. Lutter is a complete hack in my opinion and he was able to gain full mount, only to ultimately F*ck it up by gassing. GSP would have a tough time finishing the fight but I could definitely see him winning the fight by a unanimous decision. He would take hime down be active. The striking and clinch is a clear advantage for Silva, against anyone, not only GSP. I don't think he could stand long enough to work the clinch though. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of Silva and am not saying it's a forsure W for GSP, what I am saying is it's not unrealistic to say GSP would win. The fight has potential to be over quick, if GSP gets caught in a stand up slug fest, or it could be a relatively boring 3 or 5 round fight on the ground with GSP winning a decision.

And the fight not only could, but WILL happen eventually, as long as both fighters stay on top of their game and keep winning. Since GSP walks around btw 185-190lbs there's no reason he couldn't fight at 185 as a MW against Silva. Since both of them have fights lined up (silva vs. Cote and GSP & Penn said tonight that they would fight), and I'm sure GSP wouldn't want to fight an average MW before jumping in w/the Spider, it prob couldn't happen for at least another yr or so. But either way, Silva's striking is ridiculous. It just seems like he can hit anyone, at anytime, wherever he wants. HE makes it look too easy. He just waits until he finds an opening for the KO shot and then he really goes to work. Plus, Silva's ground game is so underated b/c he almost never needs to use it. GSP can't come close to Silva in KO power. None of Silva's recent fights have even been close, but GSP has had to battle to win. This fight would be awesome, but in the end it would be Silva by KO.

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 01:07:45 +0000 http://www.cagepotato.com/?p=2067#comment-24579 The middleweight division is the worst in MMA right now. GSP will take Silva down at will and ground & pound and even submit Silva. If Lutter was in shape the first fight, he would have won. Silva only impressive opponent has been Dan Henderson, other than that just bunch of bums including Franklin. The middleweight division is the worst in MMA right now.

IMO his best wins are over Hughes but lets get real! hughes is not what he use to be basically he beat him when hughes was not in his prime. Thus I give GSP little to no credit for beating him. His fight with penn went all the way I say Penn won. YEAH thats penn not at his best. Kos is crap and should be fired or sent to IFL. Serra RAPED GSP totally owned him. Nothing will ever change that. GSP got the belt back but serra was comming of an injury and a long lay off. So again little to no credit for the Canadian champion Thus his most impressive wins I am taking them all away from him. Like I said hes in a TRASH CAN! once he defends his belt at least twice or can pull off a long reign like Hughes did GSP=champion of the internet fanboys! which by MMA math= TRASH CAN GSP hasnt proven nothing! not a dam thing.

They are both great fighters but to say that GSP has an advantage on the ground is ridiculous. Silva is a true BJJ Black belt and with the size advantage GSP would have a tough time with any ground and pound and would have no shot in passing his guard. It would be similar to the Monson/Sylvia fight......Monson was far superior in strength and technique but he couldnt reach the walrus to hit him who cares, the fight will never happen….gsp walks around at 185 and is only 5′9. hes giving up a minimum of 5 inches in height and almost a foot in reach.
