Only a matter of time before they make the dream match happen. Silva vs GSP

Yeah, I read today that apparently Silva was considering dropping down to ww to fight GSP, rather than everyone waiting on GSP to move up. I love GSP but he has nothing for Anderson, if someone with Dan Hendersons wrestling ability can't keep Anderson. Down, I don't see how GSP will. Would be a great fight.

Most fighters walk around about 10 -20 lbs over their fighting weight. If I understand correctly, Anderson walks around nearly 20 lbs above his fighting weight, and GSP walks around at his fighting weight. Anderson is a much bigger man and will destroy GSP. Look at how it went down with GSP and BJ. I think the best challenge for Anderson would be one of the top light heavies. Hopefully one of them would sack up and fight him. According to MMA weekly Light Heavies rank like this: Machida, Evans, Rua, Rampage, Silva (even though he's a MW)

Anderson fought and DESTROYED Forrest Griffin @ LHW not long ago. I agree that his real challenges are at LHW, He needs to fight Machida but it will never happen because they are buddies.. Not sure about Shogun though, if Shogun beats Machida next month id like to see that happen! I think he would probably destroythe rest of the LHW division .. Rampage will get picked apart unless he catches anderson with a bomb .. Rampage doesnt like the Muay Thai style, bad match up for him, look wat Wanderlei did to him in Pride with those Knees .. Ouch!

Yeah, i know what you mean.. Rashad winds me up. Its Rampage vs Rashad next, hopefully Rampage will knock him the fuck out!

I'm Canadian and only one sport matters here, Hockey. Do you watch any NHL? My girlfriend just refuses to get into it but playoff start wednesday. WOOOOOO!

NR

Hockey is THE GAME!

It's crazy one of the twins won the Art Ross Trophy

Go Wings

Not a big fan of hockey. How bout that UFC though? Fuckin Silva. That was bullshit. I know he's in a league of his own, but there's no reason for that nonsense.

This is the shit I wanna see

That was embarrasing, Silva made a mockery of the fight. Even the ref didn't look like he wanted to raise Silva's hand.

Big ups to Frankie Edgar. I think BJ gave that belt away. He stayed on his feet but for what purpose. He has awesome Jujuitsu, why didn't he take Edgar down? After the fight and before the announcement, the look on BJ's face says it all.

Yeah man, really dissapointed with Silva on Sat. The guy is a master, he should have finished Maia and cut the bullshit out. Now i really want to see someone beat his fucking ass senseless .. We need Hendo back in the UFC, or prehaps Chael Sonnen will do the job.

Machida Shogun II next, for the UFC which will be cool, i like both fighters but im leaning towards Shogun after the first fight which he won IMO. Koscheck vs Daley on that card too which should be a guaranteed KO fight.

Dan Henderson fights this weekend in Strikeforce, allways good to see Hendo.

War Sonnen! Hope he beats the living shit out of Anderson .. Although unlikely!

I think Sonnen can beat him. I think Gegard Mousassi could beat silva if he would sign with the ufc.

Strike Force was rather boring on saturday. I only got to see the 3 main fights and all went 5 rounds. That brawl at the end of the Shields/Hendo fight has gotten SF in hot water with CBS. I'm surprised at performance of Mousassi. Anyone else watch?

No way Sonnen can beat Silva. No way!

mousassi, def surprised me. I didn't think it was boring at all. Any news on the CBS SF thing

You haven't seen enough of Sonnen's fights. He's the only one on the UFC roster that has a chance, and he's got a pretty good chance

Nothing yet, CBS is pissed at how the brawl at the end of the Sheilds/Hendo fight make them look. I find it weird because no networks freak out over brawls in baseball or football.

I have, and now that Dana White says he'll cut Silva if he does that bullshit again, we're gonna see a good ol' fashioned ass whoopin.

Could be, but Silva might also leave himself open to a KO punch while trying to whoop ass. I'm routin for Sonnen

Sonnen has a punches chance .. Thats about it, i hope he can pull it off!

Man i am soooo dissapointed with Hendo on the weekend, after he dropped shilds with that right in the first few seconds i though holy fuck this is over .. Then he just got owned by shilds .. I feel bad, i have followd Hendo since pride. Feels lika an end of an era.

There's only been one old man who has gotten better with time and even his time is done, Couture. My fave, Chuck is pretty much washed too.
