Much due respect to you 100proof, but you cant list decision win victories from Silva without the details.
He has had only 2 decision wins in recent times. One last year and one in 2009. Prior to that his decision win was way back in 2004. The Silva that fought then is not the complete fighter that he is today. Everyone would agree with that.
Also, you seem to really harp on that Maia fight. Please note, that Maia wasnt engaging the fight either. Plus, he has some good notable victories under his belt (he also submitted Sonnen, for example). So to say he isnt a good fighter is inaccurate.
So yeah...Silva has a tendency to finish his opponents, looking at his record clearly shows that. GSP has a tendency to grind out decision wins.

when the fight comes if it does...it goes past the first round gsp has the higher chance of winning.. but hey this shit is end of the year shit..for now i cant wait till gsp vs jake shields who is in the top 3 for the weight class...huge speed bumb to get to a mega fight...also if does go down you gotta look it like this too
silva will have 2-4 months more training gsp will have to gain weight to hit 185 ..could make him slower and or he could suffer injuries in the fight with jake hopefully he dominates every round to keep the record going..dude hasnt lost a round in 3 years what other fight can you say done that...and in the last 3 years he fought 5 fighters in the top 10
gsp standing game is getting crazy. his last fight complete take over josh didnt get more then 10 strikes in .. in thos 5 rounds gsp didnt even go for take downs
gonna be a crazy fight in April
for now you can read my write up on chocolate 2

GSP hasn't lost since 2007.
Shields hasn't lost since 2005.
-
Yea. Good stuff thats y he is in top 3. He almost lost his last fight. It went to a split decision. Its gonna be a nail bitter as every one wants gsp to win so we can get that maga fight with silva.
-
i think sherdog has him at number 7. nobody seems to be worried about shields but if he wins, he's gonna fuck a lot of shit up lol
fuck, barely got my ticket too. tickets went on sale at 10am and sold out at 10:04am. wtf?! record breaking ticket sales
-
Yea dana said it was a record sale
-
Sheilds shouldn't be fighting at the weight he is fighting at based on his last fight. He looked dehydrated and weak as hell (physically speaking, of course he has the skills as seen by his fights before the weight drop). I don't see Shields beating GSP. But as someone else says, if he DOES somehow win it'll mess up a lot of future planning.
-
even if shields pulls off the upset, there's no reason why gsp-silva can't go ahead... it'll just be more motivation for him to want to win...
-
Sheilds has a chance, not a great one, but GSP has never faced somebody with the level of wrestling combined with BJJ that Sheilds possesses. Yeah, his stand up is junk, but if Sheilds takes take GSP down, he puts him in a position of his strength vs GSP's weakness (GSP off his back).
I do however expect GSP to be super prepared for this fight like he always is. In theory the same strategy can work against Sheilds that worked against Koshckeck.
I also agree that if GSP loses, him versus Silva would still be a worthwhile matchup which he is capable of winning.
Fitch vs BJ this weekend as well. Fitch should take this by wrestle-hump.
-
GSP vs Shields is a dry-humpers dream fight, IMO. Either way the entire mma world wants to see CANderson vs GSPenis. I'm inclined to go with Canderson due to size and speed, it's gonna take Penis quite a while for his ability to catch up to a 185 frame. Even then he's still a good 4inches shorter and won't have the advantage on striking on the outside like he's done with almost every opponent.
as for Shields and penis I'm gonna go with Jake. He's one of those guys that fights to the level of the fighter he's fighting, and does just enough to win. He's never over aggressive and is far more dangerous at bjj than any prior opponents (yeah, BJ included faggots). Dont look for this to be a barn burner as I suspect both men leave with rug burns that resemble a night of hot gay man sex.
AND, lol at fedor getting bont by bigfoot. I bet finkeljew shit the bed when Silva tried to open a rock with his bare hand on fedors head. Maybe Aleks could cure his hep-aids and give him a reach around

ufc penn fight is on tonight
-
I was pretty impressed by Penn's performance. Thought he had no chance against Fitch but he almost finished him twice. Unfortunately, his achilles heel reared its ugly head again in his conditioning. Good decision by the judges in my eyes....I too had it a draw.
If GSP beats Shields and moves up to middleweight I think the best scenario would be to put the Fitch-Penn rematch on for the vacant welterweight strap.
-
penn may stop fighting he is still thinking about it if he will fight again
not that great of a fight for penn but for some reason they get a draw in that fight
bisping did his thing but after a illegal nee to the head of a down opponent
