Penguin145 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It is offical. At the Fight for the Troops Dana held a Q&A for the troops. First question out of the gate was When will GSP and silva fight? He announced if Silva wins his fight in Febuary and GSP whens his in March, GSP will be moving up to 185 and fight Silva. GSP also annouced that once he moves to 185 he is going to stay there. What is everyones predictions, and how will GSP do at 185? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleB Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 GSP cleans it out, just like he did 170. However I don't think Anderson gets past Vitor, so it's way to early to speculate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 In the words of Clubber Lang (Mr. T) in Rocky III after being asked what his predictions were for the fight: PAIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got GSP dominating 185 but Anderson is gonna destroy Belfort. He hasnt been performing well lately and he should know hes gotta step it up. Anderson is going to destroy Belfort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No One Famous Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Silva can beat the best at 185 AND 205. There is no way GSP wins his first fight at 185 against Silva...especially after seeong Silva do it again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfort is good, but the UFC hype machine did a good job with him. He is brought in every couple of years and used to spruce up a division. GSP can just hire Jean Claude VanDamm and go into Blood Sport training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't fought many top-level figthers. Belfort hasn't fought in a year and a half and hasn't fought at 185 in a very long time. GSP has the perfect style to beat Silva. I think we've seen that Silva can beat strikers and BJJ guys but has trouble with wrestlers, guys who can work the clinch, and beat him up on the ground. Hendo and Chael are the only guys who have really won rounds against Silva and look at their backgrounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyg Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 GSP won't be able to handle Silva's reach. Silva is also very good at stuffing the takedown so I would see this fight on their feet mostly which works better to Silva's reach. Silva has beat anyone they put in front of him. Sure some of his fights may look boring but he still walks out with the title so thats all that matters really. It's not his fault there is no competition out there for him. He even moved up to 205 due to the lack of competition at 185 so how can anyone bash him? I hope him and GSP do meet cause they both need a good fight.

Maybe you missed the Chael Sonnen vs. Anderson Silva fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I havent seen anyone who has been able to stop GSP from taking them to the ground..and if Silva takes that cocky attitude in the Octagon with GSP, we might just see someone finally beat him..

sniderpanthers Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 it all depends on if silva is motivated and uninjured, which he probably will be, but my money is on GSP just because he mixes in his stand-up and wrestling like no other. GSP wins via submission 4th round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
