On one hand that fight should never headline free card let alone a PPV, but it's cool to see Dana get Stephen get a nice pay day before he retires. He did a lot for the sport. [Reply]

man oh man....Jones/Silva would be one for the ages!
It would be interesting to see who wins, but I think the fight itself would have very little action. Both guys would be very hesistant to engage with the other. I think Bones probably gets a hold of Silva and stops him with ground and pound in the later rounds if I had to pick a winner. I'd say odds are close to even money going in as to where Silva would be a significant favorite over GSP. [Reply]

I think Silva wins that fight but not in a walk through. He has another level that other fighters almost never get to but Jones is close.
Honestly if he's dropping weight to fight a 170lber (and I'll probably get torched for this) I think Silva v Nick Diaz is a better fight than Silva v GSP. [Reply]

So you think a guy who's style is to stand in front of his opponent go toe to toe and slug it out has a better shot than a master technician with incredible take downs like GSP? Nobody is going to beat Silva on their feet. You have to use the Sonnen blue print of pressuring him, dragging his ass down, holding him there and inflecting damage. [Reply]

I would rather watch Anderson box Nick.
Anderson will beat GSP badly if they ever fight. [Reply]
