GSP will become the greatest fighter in MMA history.

GSP has everything to propel him into supreme greatness. He's intelligent, humble, hard-working, disciplined, extremely athletic, physically strong with a warrior spirit and the most important thing that holds everything together, Talent.

He started his career as a young inexperienced fighter, but he quickly started to adapt and evolve to keep up with the game. He developed superior mma wrestling, his bread and butter, but he has great striking, great ground game, what can i say hes the most well-rounded mma fighter out there.

He wants to improve , even at the level hes at, his over-all game. There are a lot of great fighters out there who are considered the best, but they have evolved to their ability. GSP is not done yet, and the shocking thing is that he will actually become stronger and even more well-rounded as time goes on and his body matures.

He will defintely , without any doubt, will compete at MW, then eventually LHW. I know I know, I am crazy for thinking that, LHW?, but he can do it, if he wants. Hes in no rush to achieve his goals, he will take his time do it deliberately, remember hes an intelligent fighter. I have watched every "great" fighter with a microscope, and believe me GSP will surpass them all. His time will come, when hes ready, cause hes still in a developing progress and when he begins to believe he is the best, he will become the one true mma fighter, i know i sound like morpheous from matrix.. Anyway, when it comes to being the ONE in a MMA world, with his ability and everything he has going for him, I don't see anyone other than GSP.

Mark my words, he will become the best fighter in MMA history.

      That's not true Monster, I luv GSP, but that doesn't mean I don't believe A.Silva is the best P4P.

      When and if those two finally meet it would be the first time ever that I'd root for Silva's opponent. That doesn't mean I'm walking around with blinders on, Silva would have a clear and unquestionable advantage over my boy, but GSP has a good a chance as anyone... hell better than Cote. Doesn't mean he'd(GSP) would win, but there truly is know shame to lose against a fighter like Silva. Especially if he doesn't go in claiming he's the best and going to walk through a man who truly has earned the best P4P title.

      GSP all the way baby!
  • You see, right now its all speculation, just give it time and it will become cemented in the mma history books.
    Watch what will happen when GSP turns 30 and onwards, which i anticipate.
    Just look at what GSP has done being a nice guy, I feel sorry anyone who fights him when hes pissed.

    people who surrender to A.silva and his striking greatness are dolts, give me a break, he fought a mediocre striker(forrest), of course he will look sensational, its just most individuals who give credence to silva are not versed in fighting, the art of fighting, what constitutes a great fighter, the potentional of a fighter...etc...they are just your random mma observers, they are incapable of discerning, so just watch, anything more youre exceeding your capacity.

      I too would love to see GSP fight anyone who used to be a mw champion for much different reasons. THRONE!!!
  • MONSTER
    ummmmm.......... you're also just a random mma observer my genius little buddy
    • on the contrary my dear monster, I study mma fighters, their skill level, their striking, ground game, composure, heart-determination, conditioning....the whole gamut. So i have a sound perspective on fighters and their limits, potentional, talent and avoid sounding like a blithering idiot, like bjpure and his yardbarker clique.

      GSP will evolve even more, a.silva, penn, fedor have reached their potentional....but GSP will continue to evolve.

      Patience my dear monster.
    • Clintmathewson
      verita. everything you have seen from GSP is his apex. He as reached his potential..hence the superfight arguement. You dont study anything more than a damn dictionary from what I have read from your posts. And I mean that...not trying to put you down here...but I really dont think you study any other fighters. You may know a lot about your boy GSP but....like I said... can the evolution talk.. you've seen all he has to offer...Silva has continually gotten BETTER! So your study is way off. Penn... has gotten BETTER. The only 'hole' in his game that ever came into question was his conditioning. You would have to be a MORON to say that hasnt improved. GSP.. whether you want to admit it or not .. has actual narrowed his game down to wrestling and overpowering. Taking the Brock Lesnar approach. I was impressed with him in the Alves fight. Because his level changes were timed perfectly. It actually got BORING...to see how good GSP's wrestling was. But GSP knew he couldnt afford to stay standing too long with Thiago's power. Do yourself a favor...in your 'study' take out a stop watch. Time how long gsp is actually standing in his last 3 fights. Versatility and evolution?
    • crazycanuck
      Gsp actually knocked Alvez down twice and for the time they did stand. He totally dominated. Let's not foret he ought 2 or 3 rounds with a pulled sac. The name of the game is MMA and not kick boxing. It's the hole package. You should know that man. You're an inspiring fighter.
    • crazycanuck
      Sorry. I meant to say, "let's not forget he fought with a pulled sac".
    • Clintmathewson
      cc speak with one alias at a time bro. Dominate eh. Like gonzaga was dominating carwin. Like Babalu was dominating Lambert. Like Lambert was dominating Goveia. Your right. I need to open my eyes.. its MMA. if a guy is winning.. then surely he'll win?! and its ASPIRING. not inspiring. and its a WHOLE package. not a HOLE package.
    • crazycanuck
      Clint, I really don't know where your getting the idea I'm using different names. Like I said, it's just me CC. Sorry for my spelling errors. But you know what I mean. Plus. I'm through arguing with you man. We had our beef. Now it's time to have a beer and talk MMA. I know, you're a Penn fan. And I'm a GSP fan. And I respect and think Penn is a heck of a fighter. And I also respect that you would do anything protect and defend Him. Hopefully you could respect me to have done the same for GSP.
      Btw, I just downloaded spell check...LOL
    • Clintmathewson
      its all good. i make spelling and grammar errors all the time. Just nit pickin at ya
    • crazycanuck
      Cool! It's all good here too.
    • ****, honestly, don't express your pathetic clouded opinion on mma, you neither have the talent to succeed in it or understand it from an objective point of view. If you think GSP has reached his apex, you now have the effects of getting dropped on your head as a baby, hence sh*t baby, lol.
      GSP still needs to improve his BJJ, striking, muay thai, and he knows that, but his wrestling is second to none. Look how he has improved since he came to the ufc. Penn and silva are the same fighters as they arrived on the scene. Maybe if you actually took the time to cogitate, which is impossible for a drunk retard like you, you would reach that conclusion. How has penn and silva improved? without penns flexible legs he would be your average bjj artist. ask me any question about a fighter I will give you a definitive, sound, intelligent, analytical answer. btw, I don't read the dictionary, you parochial, pertinacious, feeble, obsequious, gadabouting cipher, its not possible to sit there and memorize words all day, it just shows how small your mind is. Lets see if penn stands up with a striker like alves. Also open your eyes and examine penns face, fighters who have thick skins can afford to strike. Penn has actually gotten worse(noone calls him the prodogy anymore)he was way more impressive in his early years and without those flexible legs he could not finish most of his fights, silva is the same(worse as well-leben to leitas) and don't give me that forrest fight, forrest can't strike for sh*t.
    • crazycanuck
      Veritasmma,

      Dude take a chill pill. You're starting to sound like BJpure on steroids. Say your message but don't be so frustrated. GSP is GSP, Silva is Silva and Penn is Penn. All have their good and their bad. And all are different than the other in fighting styles. But one thing they all have in common, is that they're all champions in their respective weight class.

  • MONSTER
    Veritas you sound like a smart guy,do you really need me to post the defenition of "observer"? If you don't work in the business then you're just a "random observer" like everyone else on this site.
    • so, if one person takes the time to analyze and compare fighters, to use a criteria, to determine the talent and skill level, is under the same category as a person who is in great awe of anderson cause he put away a sub par striker, give me a break.

      Oh , so dana white is an expert on fighters and their ability?
      anyone else who is working in the business, hell even fighters themselves(so many were thinking bjpenn was going to anihilate GSP), so your argument is weak. I'm not saying I'm a MMA coach, but I'm an acute observer and most people just watch to see a good fight. I , when watching a fight, gauge the ability and the skillset of a fighter(s).

      anyway, I am just trying to differentiate level of observation , meaning some might see something that others wont, thats all.

      I’m definitely looking for mega-fights and if Anderson Silva is one of them, why not shoot for the stars? - Bj Penn I cant quote GSP.. but I remember him wanting to put on weight and this and that. what was it again?!

  • GSP will fight as long as is gonna stay healty,is not like Rampage that does it for the money,he love to fight more than anythink else so i see him fight at least another ten years wich will be enough to shut down all the gsp haters because despite the fact that they are either way jaleous,not so smart or psychobjfans,they will have to admit within the 2 next years that he is the greatest fighter in todays MMA
    • Clintmathewson
      its ALL bout the money. Hi. I'm earth. Have we met?
  • KangaRoo2
    In my opinion GSP will never be the greatest fighter in MMA history unless he man's up and fights Silva before he retires. I don't get why anyone wouldn't want to take advantage of that kind of opportunity and experience if they had the chance. I'm a fan of GSP, but I'm not blind and don't agree with everything he does and doesn't do. He already is the greatest WW in history, now it's time to be the greatest fighter in history and step it up a notch. He says he's already champion and now wants to fight the best possible opponent. Well it's right in front of you GSP, and Silva would definitly take the fight. Even if GSP looses he will still gain huge experience from fighting the Spider and would learn a lot from it. Not only that but he got to fight the best their is and people kill to get that opportunity.
    • klmall
      He HASNT yet been offered the fight with Silva..... So until then, dont give up on GSP. And when he IS offered the fight he will take it, no doubt.
    • KangaRoo2
      I'll bet that Dana and GSP have spoke about the fight. The fans want the fight (bad) and whatever the fans want means dollar signs in Mr White's eyes. My understanding was if GSP beat Penn he would get his shot at the Spider. Then it was if GSP beat Alves he would get a shot at the Spider. I'm getting a little curious as to why nothing has happened about one of the biggest fights possible. Now who is he going to fight, Swick? Whoopidy doo i'll watch the replay on that one.

      Hey BJ, if your buying beer we'd hang brother!

      "GSP will never be the greatest fighter in MMA unless he man's up and fights Silva"

      Roo, you and I normally see eye to eye on most subjects, but today I have to respectively disagree. GSP has never turned down an opportunity to fight Silva. To date its been all talk and speculation nothing more. Neither Joe Silva or Dana W. has gone to GSP and official asked for that fight. So to say that GSP needs to man up is well kinda ridiculous. He can't run or duck a fight that has never been offered. That's like saying Anderson Silva is ducking or running from Machida... same principle despite the reasons. Silva like GSP is not running from anything, neither have actually or officially been offered those superfights.

      I know what some of you think though, Silva vs Machida's different because Silva doesn't want to fight a friend, but I beg to differ. It's exactly the same, only the circumstances are different. Meaning that right now those two superfights are nothing more than hypothetical... those fights haven't officially been offered or turned down by GSP, nor has a fight with Machida been officially offered to Silva. Believe it or not that does make a difference in this arguement. Not to mention that GSP has entertained the idea of fighting Silva, but he'll do it on his terms, he's fighting to win the fight... not just to say that he fought Silva (that's not enough for him). GSP wants to win so he'll take that opportunity when it's best for him. When he feels he's ready to reach that next level thats when he'll go through Silva.

      Right now that's arguable and I agree, yes he has the belt but he wants to be recognized as the best WW to ever live. I'm sorry you don't do that with only three(four if you count Serra) consecutive successful title defenses. Doesn't Matt Hughes have nine successful title defenses? GSP want's to reach that bar and set one of his own, once he's accomplished that goal I honestly believe his next goal would be Silva. Personally I respect the fact that he wants to take on one challenge at a time, why don't you?
    • KangaRoo2
      Hey Tiki, good post! I can't prove that GSP has or hasn't been offered the fight, but all things we've seen and heard from Dana in past show signs that this fight should have happened or should be planned to happen since the Alves fight.

      GSP is one of the best in the world and as you know I'm a big fan just not a biased fan. Saying he should man up is part of my frustration that he may never fight Silva as time is an issue. He can't wait around until he's ready and since he has cleaned out WW, what is he waiting for? If Silva retires before GSP feels like fighting him it will be a huge let down on himself when looking back. He still can keep on cleaning out the WW division and achieve his goal but this is a once in a lifetime chance to fight a man no one has beat in the UFC. A fight with the Spider won't affect his legacy in WW if he looses and will only gain him knowledge, experience and respect.
    • tikitmb
      Placard_complete_small
      I see where you're coming from, but keep in mind this isn't about bragging rights for GSP. He's not going to actively pursue Silva until he believes he's ready ready to win that is. BJ went up to fight GSP twice, he gained no ones respect with that. And as I mentioned GSP doesn't want to just challenge Silva, he wants to step in and beat Silva, that means you come in when your ready skill wise, and mentally. Otherwise what really sets him apart from any other fighter who has stepped in the octagon with Silva, why should we respect GSP more than a Henderson or Lutter? GSP wouldn't be the first fighter to go up in weight, but if he did it when the time was right for him not his fans(we're not fighting for him) he could be as successful as Henderson was in Pride, it's not enough to challenge your opponent, you got to win. and you can't do that on someone else's time... you have to do it on yours.

      As for Dana, yes he's mentioned it more times than I can count but that doesn't necessarily mean that the only reason it hasn't happened is because of GSP. Don't forget Dana promised an immediate title shot to Henderson, but we all see how that turned out. I think if Dana wanted a superfight with GSP and Silva right now it would happen, but Dana's a business man he's going to milk this potential fight for all its worth especially sense we haven't heard any recent retirement claims from Silva. Dana will continue to let GSP build his legacy as a WW it'll only make the fight between those two all the sweeter when they finally meet.

      As a side note it just doesn't make sense for Dana to push for certain fights right now with Silva as long as he's complacent to keep fighting. It only seems urgent to get this particular fight going if Silva goes back to talking he's retire. Than I promise you you want have to wait long for that fight, because Dana will make sure it will happen and GSP will do it, but I bet he'd still take that extra time to can muscle as he stated he would.

      Anyways glad to see you posting again, kinda miss the ole gang ;)
    • KangaRoo2
      I do get your view on the fight and the other possibily of what's really going on behind the scenes. No one really does know and we can only speculate on what we hear and see.

      I guess the biggest factor for me in taking this side of the discussion is that for myself in martial arts, I never wanted an easy opponent and to be fighting tomato cans. I learn more losing than winning and I always wanted to see how I stacked up against better fighters. Every person you compete with you learn something from and Silva is an extremely unique fighter.

      Bottom line, I really want to see the fight happen and don't want to see GSP vs. (insert tomato can here). I actually think GSP could win (here's another discussion!) and don't want to see this opportunity pass by. GSP vs Swick just doesn't interest me and there will be no good debates for me to waste time on at work because everyone knows who will win.

    ROUND 3: The round begins the same as the other two, with Penn circling and flicking a jab. They come together inside and Penn lands a combination. As Penn backs out, Sherk lands an overhand left. Penn went for a takedown and was stuffed, but lands a good left. They exchange a combination in the center. Sherk fires a hard jab. Low kick from Penn lands hard. RIght hand by Penn, followed by a left. Sherk tries a low kick. Penn lands a double jab. Sherk misses a combination. Low kick by Sherk. Sherk’s face looks bad from the punches. Hard jab by Penn. Hard flying knee by Penn knocks Sherk down. Huge ground and pound by Penn. Fight is stopped as the horn sounds. There was confusion.

  • A flying knee (known as hanuman thayarn in Muay Thai, and sometimes called a jumping knee) is a knee strike very similar to a front knee, except that it is performed in stand-up fighting by jumping, and often by rushing towards the opponent.

    LOLl you all have made my day with this post ... tomato or toma to arguments. Personally, to get back to the post I don't see GSP staying in the sport as his counterparts such as AA, Penn, or Matt Hughes the days of a fighter having an extensive amount of fights are gone...the money is flowing pretty decent in the sport and allot of the other fighters fought out of necessity. Sherks,Mennes, The Horns, Hughes, Shonie Carter, Sht even Melvin Guillard fighting eleventeen fights in their career is something i just don't see as an ongoing thing. GSP is a wise person and i wouldn't be shocked if he called it quits at an "early phase" of his career. Everyone wouldn't mind seeing him fight Anderson Silva and its been quoted earlier on here that he may not take the fight unless he has the impression that he can beat Anderson...and he may never have this urge. Would i be a bit upset if this never happens yea...but all in all i'm a MMA fan there's other artist that will come along and catch my eye and bring a better fight...and considering the number of MMA fighters I know I can't do nothing but respect fighters that may take the Roger Huerta route and seek income from other avenues opposed to getting p*mped out and having the sht beat out of them for the sake of pleasing the gripes they're hearing from "their fans".

      Funny, I was thinking along the same lines. I just don't see GSP fighting til he's 40, not that I'm saying that he doesn't love what he does any less. I just think that he's one of the few fighters that has managed to put in 110% now, but has his eyes on what happens after fighting.

      I remember him stated that if he could retire on top without anymore loses he would.

      I pray he does;-)

    Really, this whole argument is dumb. All the Penn supporters want is for someone to beat Georges. It is really not about a super fight. No one sees BJ wanting to fight Brock or Kimbo, which would qualify as a super fight, because it would obviously be a no win situation. The BJ supporters do not care how talented Georges is they want to put him in a position like BJ was in when he demanded to fight Georges. It was ill advised for the same reasons a fight between Georges and Anderson would be. These loudmouths are like the same bullies who made Georges life as a boy painful. There is no reason for this except to try to bully Georges into doing something stupid (which is what bullies always do), so I think Purity and Clint and their ilk should go fantasize about a super fight and get off on the "idea," while leaving reasonable fans of the sport and Georges alone.
    • Clintmathewson
      Tell your doc to up your meds. GSP should fight at Anderson Silva 'IF' he is as good as you say he is. NOT if he cant handle him. I would be SHOCKED if GSP made it 2 rounds lets alone 4 with the champ one weight class ahead of his own. Apples to apples my lady. Its not about bullying. If the champ is as good as YOU ALL SAY HE IS...he has CLEANED OUT THE WELTERWEIGHTS. hes DOMINANT IN HIS WEIGHT CLASS. then by all means.. lets see what he's got in a more competitive weight class. Your arguments are frail.
    • Clint your gsp predictions haven't been too hot in his last two fights, I'd be carefull with your wording, I bet you must have been "shocked" with gsp's last two since you were guaranteeing alves would ko gsp, and gsp didn't have a prayer against penn(penn looked horrible standing...very surprising to me). As far as alves outstriking gsp, go to fightmetric.com and see who outstruck who, alves was missing all night, go a little further and look at any of gsp's fights and see who gets the better of shots landed. For a dryhumper its amazing gsp has the ufc record for most strikes landed in a fight...seriously incredible how he does this dryhumping. GSP is much more crafty than anyone silva has fought in the past IMO and would do much better than most think, I bet purity and clint would be "shocked" at how well he would do. Would he win?...I don't know...Would I like to see it? Damn staight I would. The only guys who came close to beating him in the UFC were lutter and leites who didn't want to stand and bang with him. I think if gsp amp's up his jits he would have a decent shot. Some question gsp's ability to get anderson down, if leites got him down with a shot, gsp would all night. I really hope this fight happens maybe late 2010 before anderson retires. Right now there seems to be little interest in the fight I think largly because of his silva's hand picked last fight. They have already forgotten his pitifull performance against leites as he was petrified to go to the ground with him, if he fights gsp he would be on the ground most of the fight. People seem to constantly underestimate gsp(myself included)the guy knows how to win. GSP has said on many, many occations that he think this could be a interesting fight for him, but this isn't the same as gsp/penn 2. Gsp beat penn in a controversial fight and penn wanted revenge, it was way more about that than bj "challenging" the fighter in a higher weight class, as they fought before and penn was convinced he'd win in a second match. I say B.S to all this he wants to know who the best P4P fighter is(champion vs champion) was all a publicity stunt by dana, bj whined and whined until he got his rematch. If gsp completely destroyed alves and griffin put up a good fight and lost a decision THEN I bet there would be a lot of interest in this fight, your only as good as your last fight. Silva has nothing to gain by fighting gsp, so I know he doesn't want the fight, dana after seeing griffin destroyed doesn't want to put his most marketable fighter on the chopping block. I still feel this fight might happen, if it did happen say in late 2010, I bet it would be a much bigger fight than bj/gsp 2 and I feel very confident gsp would do better than penn did because of the two fighters styles and intelligence, it would a be striker vs grappler match. I know people are saying but hendo is a grappler, he lost because he was trying to ko silva, gsp will know his only real chance is the ground. As far as gsp being afraid of silva, I don't believe it, I bet gsp would love to fight him, he just wants to be as well prepared as he can be which could very well happen later in 2010 as silva is tied up with title fights at the moment. I've seen in interviews gsp claiming he would do pretty well against silva as silva has never fought anyone like him before, and he would welcome the challenge but he would like to put on a little weight,(and would want to improve his jits skills) dana, joe silva make it happen. I just know anderson has nothing to gain from this fight and everything to lose like gsp did against penn. The smaller guy gets the glory if he wins and the bigger guy gets the humiliation if he loses.
    • Holy **** I didn't realize I wrote a novel, don't blame anyone if they don't want to read it. Bj penn is truely one who seeks danger....fighting a guy he's completely convinced he can beat, some one here can't seem to see past there own noses.
    • Clintmathewson
      i dont care nathang. GSP would get murdered by Silva. Dont take hindsite predictions from me to justify YOUR case. You lame o. Put YOUR name to some predictions. Its easy to sit on the outside and wait ... and THEN plee a case in a 20 20 hindsite. You KNOW gsp has NO CHANCE against silva. Dont even try to justify me being wrong on this one cause i have been wrong in the past. THATS YOUR ARGUMENT?! haha Good luck.
    • LIKE THE CAP LOCKS CLINT.... I'M CONVINCED!!!!! MY OBVIOUS POINT IS YOU UNDERESTIMATE GSP. NO I DON'T KNOW GSP HAS NO CHANCE AGAINST SILVA, SILVA ALMOST LOST TO LUTTER. THIS IS MY OPINION CLINT, SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE, FACTS ARE FACTS, I HOPE YOUR FEELINGS AREN'T HURT. GSP HAS NEXT TO ZERO CHANCE STANDING WITH SILVA BUT HAS A DECENT CHANCE IN MY HUMBLE OPINION(YES I'VE BE WRONG MANY TIMES BEFORE, AND HAVE BEING HUMBLED)TAKING IT TO THE CANVAS AND "DRYHUMPING HIM" TO A DECISION OR SUBBING HIM. THINK WHAT YOU WANT, I TOO THOUGHT ALVES WOULD BE A ROUGH FIGHT FOR HIM, AND WAS "SURPRISED" AT HOW EASILY HE TOOK HIM
      DOWN AND HOW LITTLE PROBLEMS HE HAD STANDING WITH HIM, BUT WAS EQUALLY SURPRISED AT ALVES SUB DEFENSE. THE GREAT THING ABOUT FIGHTS IS THERE NOT VERY PREDICTABLE. YOU ALONG WITH PURITY SEEM INCREDIBLY ARROGANT IT MUST HAVE BEEN VERY PAINFULL TO SEE BJ LOSE SO BADLY, I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU, I KNOW IT MUST BE SOME WET DREAM FOR YOU GUYS TO SEE GSP FIGHT SILVA AND GET SMASHED BADLY BUT I FOR SOME REASON THINK HE WOULDN'T AND WOULD SURPRISE MOST. MY OPINIONS....OBVIOUSLY NOT YOURS, DON'T TELL ME WHAT I THINK, SILVA WOULD DOMINATE AND T(KO) "ANYONE" IN MMA IN MY OPINION IN A STAND UP FIGHT, BUT I BELIEVE PLENTY COULD BEAT HIM ON THE GROUND, JUST MOST ARE TOO STUPID AND WANT TO STAND WITH HIM, SIGNING OFF.
    • Clintmathewson
      if your signing off.. please stay off. If not. Please predict saturdays fight results. The whole main card. oh great mayan god of predictions.
    • Sorry clint, I don't think I'll stay off, I like the yard. As far as saturdays results I'm no better at predicting fights than anyone else but I'm smart enough not to guarantee anything. I think machida will dominate shogun and if he doesn't I'll be very surprised but s**t happens it might be the dragons turn to lose and get caught. If that happens it will really suck because the 205 lbs division has being the revolving door of the UFC for a while now, it would nice to have a dominant champ there. I would like to see silva lose just to make the division more exciting, he's been there too long.

    Really, this whole argument is dumb. All the Penn supporters want is for someone to beat Georges. They cannot admit how good Georges is, because it makes BJ seem less of a fighter. And wanting to see Georges fight out of his weight class as BJ has is ridiculous. The BJ supporters do not care how talented Georges is. It was ill advised for the same reasons a fight between Georges and Anderson would be. These loudmouths are like the same bullies who made Georges life as a boy painful. There is no reason for this except to try to bully Georges into doing something stupid (which is what bullies always do), so I think Purity and Clint and their ilk should go fantasize about a super fight and get off on the "idea," while leaving reasonable fans of the sport and Georges alone. Georges is the best welterweight in history, period. He already has a legacy. BJ and his fans are jealous because of GSP's greatness.

      You're right on Clint! 6 inches or 6 feet off the ground is considered a flying knee. I was meaning to ask you. What weight do you fight at man?
    • Clintmathewson

  • Silva has to beat someone besides Franklin, 38yr old Hendo, and Griffin to be called the best p4p, Not to mention his four losses to four scrubs, GSP has beat Hughes 2x, and Penn 2x, those 4 fights are of better quality than Silvas career, Leites, Irvin, Cote???? Please! crushing weak opponents doesn't prove much.
    • Clintmathewson
      yeah.. who does GEORGES have to fight?? One dimensional hughes. Lighter Bj Penn? Seriously. If you want to compare these two fighters. Then compare them equally. Georges has picked on 2 fighters his own size or bigger. One he out humped. The other he out boxed

      "Georges has picked on 2 fighters his own size or bigger"... really?

      Travis Galbraith = 6'0ft
      Jason Miller = 6'1"ft
      Jon Fitch = 6'0"ft
      Jay Hieron = 5'11"ft
      Four fighters, not two that were bigger than GSP.

      Thomas Denny = 5'10"ft
      David Strasser = 5'10"ft
      Josh Koscheck = 5'10"ft with the exception of having shorter legs JK's height, weight and reach is identical to GSP's.
      Three fighters in addition that are the same height as GSP.

      By the way Clint, how many fighters at LW has Bj fought that he was bigger than? Would it be greater than or less than percentage wise compared to GSP and his opponents?
    • Clintmathewson
      how many fighters at lightweight LOL tiki. LOL LOLOL idiot. Bj has taken Machida the distance. He has taken GSP the distance. BJ fights at LW because the UFC wants him to. BJ will fight ANYONE. thats a fact.
    • Clintmathewson
      the aruement is SILVA and GSP .... put your BJ hating away. BJ has fought bigger guys than GSP has. The arguement is... has Silva fought "bums" at 205.. or legit contenders. IllinoisViking argues they are scrubs. Stay on topic.
    • tikitmb
      Placard_complete_small
      Damn... this is WTF I get for trying to have a debate with an idiot/A-hole! Yes clint I know what your initial arguement was about. Clearly I had nothing to say in that matter otherwise I would have said it. I simply spoke on the stupid sh!t you were spouting about GSP fighting two fighters that were either the same size or bigger.

      GSP has fought only as a WW so to intelligently compare bj's record with GSP's I could only use their natural weight classes. I know that might be too hard for you to comprehend so why don't you go back and reread that part reeeeal slow;-) Hopefully you get it the second or third go round.

      Don't think I didn't noticed that while you were trying to distract me with the name calling you didn't once attempt to answer my question. It figures and it's not at all surprising it's why I decided to post this as well. Sit back and enjoy I know I will A-hole;-)

      Din Thomas = 5'10"
      K. Florian = 5'11"
      These are the only two LW fighters that bj has fought that were bigger (height only)

      Caol Uno = 5'7"
      Jens Pulver = 5'7"
      Joe Stevenson = 5'7"
      These three were smaller by two inches

      Joey Gilbert = 5'5"
      Paul Creighton = 5'6"
      Matt Serra = 5'6"
      Sean Sherk = 5'6"
      The last four were smaller by 3 to 4 inches. Now this is what I came up with without adding the weight factor. Imagine what that would be like if I decided to go that route as well?

      Anyways forgive the spelling, I have yet to install SP on this computer.

      Whoops! Forgot to add that bj's 5'9 and his walk around weight is 180lbs... that's pretty big weight wise for a LW. You need only to check out bj video blogs to confirm the weight. He did two that I remember where he stepped on the scale to show his fans how much weight he needed to lose. He did one for sherk and on for GSP. In both cases he weighed 180lbs, kind of puts things more into perspective when you compare bj against the rest of the LW's.

    So you're saying its Silvas' fought that he cake walked through the UFC's middleweight division? However, the majority of George's fight have taken place in the UFC all except for 4 or 5 if i'm correct. Then you're bringing up the age scenario with Hendo but reference Matt Hughes... Silva has kicked ass in 2 different divisions and the only scrub he's really loss to was Chonnen. Speaking of scrubs we might as well throw out the wins over Pete Spratt, Frank Trigg, Thomas Denny, and Matt Serra right? I don't know how 4 fights equate better than a persons 30+ fights. I don't get your logic at all...

      Raz, i personally dont believe in diets. At least not in your case. I'd say just eat only when you are hungry, and stop when you are not anymore. Spreading multiple meals throughout the day will help with that. If you couple that with getting your heart to work even just 30 min/day, you will be amazed at how the lbs will drop off consistently, and you wont have too much trouble getting down to 185 and staying there
    • KangaRoo2
      Eating right is what does it for me whether I'm training or not. At peak weight not eating right and not training I was at 195lbs and climbing. When I was really training hard and eating right I was at 178. I'm 6'1 so that was really lean but I was also the strongest I'd been at that weight. I just eat lots of fruit and vegetables (not melons really high in sugar) red meat once a week and lot's of chicken and fish (no oils or butter). Carbs are fine when active but it's also best to eat carbs in the morning if you're going to and not before bed. All in all, eat right, hit the bag and run if you can. Weight will go away.

    Here's another observation (my mind is working overtime as I am watching WEC repeats on versus as I type; Villefort fight on now). But anyway, I don't like how the fighters touch gloves AGAIN after they are given instructions, touch em up and go back to their corner. It's a fight not a love fest. I get the sportsmanship aspect and can see touching gloves before commencing the fifth round of an excellent fight.

    In a way, it seems like the fighters do it to take some of the fear and anxiety out of their systems. Why touch gloves twice with a guy who you want to destroy.

    It will backfire someday, as it has before, and some guy will get clocked.

    LMAO @ Clint ya F'klin Nut !! I (everyone knows Bigtime GSP Fan) definately agree Silva would dominate GSP in a Superfight at this time and maybe anytime... That doesn't take anything away from GSP and what he has accomplished. Anderson is the best P4P and GSP is the most rounded MMA fighter in the World.

    What BJ did moving up in weightclass was remarkable, but not only has BJ fought GSP before at WW... BJ has fought and gained experience in all other weight divisions. He is built compact and powerful and was already prepared and motivated for a superfight w/GSP. This made his decision to fight GSP a sound one being fairly safe with great opportunity and return...

    On the other hand,a superfight w/Silva/GSP is not a good choice for GSP at this time due to the fact that GSP has not dipped into the larger weight divisions and gives up a lot of reach let alone power and speed to a guy like Silva.

    Taking a fight like this would be a completely STUPID until GSP is fully prepared "Mentally" & "Physically" REMEMBER... This is a fans choice, and not in anyone elses best interest yet. GSP would need to dedicate at least 8 months to prepare for Andersons size, standup, power and speed... His ground game is only good if he can get close enough to get him on the ground.

    Remember Silva is beating guys at Heavyweight... Thats 2 Divisions NOT 1 and to be totally honest, I can even see Anderson taking a guy out like Mir !!

    Hows that for a Bold Statement !!

    l3adlntentions i applaud you.....a gsp fan who can openly admit that gsp simply can not beat silva...i wish there were more fans like you....i give you a thumb up
  • Monster it may LOOK like that, but this is MMA, how well did he do in the leites fight? Things are frequently different in the octagon than they are on paper, upsets, things that shouldn't happen in mma happen a lot in MMA, you can never count a guy like gsp out, but LOGICALLY it would be a very tough fight for him. I've been watching MMA for a long time now and big upsets and shockers happen on almost every card, so many factors in a fight, nerves, mistakes, etc. A dominant champ in a lower weight class always stands a change IMO to beat the champ in a higher weight class, not likely but possible.

      "how well did he do in the leites fight?" ummmmmmmmmm he dominated him but it was boring cause leites was being a punk and fell to the floor a bazillion times
    • Dominate, he almost lost to a rearnaked choke and lost a round or two on the judges score cards, not my definition of domination. He did f-all to leites, was scared s**tless to go to the ground with him, a very boring fight, sorry silva didn't dominate that fight, he won it because of leites unwillingness to engage.
