UFC 158 GSP VS DIAZ. Saturday

[byronkentgraham]

UFC is almost as bad as WWE with these little story lines. I'll stick with NHL and NLL

 

[T-team]

GSP is my fave... But silva would absolutely write him off. Sorry to say....

Im not so sure silva nearly got beat by sonnen because of the ground game.

When you mentioned that, I had to watch that first fight again (silva vs Sonnen) on Netflix.
Awesome. Man that Silva can take a beating.



silva can be so deadly if you stand toe to toe with him. I don't know if GSP could handle the strikes.

Ground game, well GSP has a technical advantage, but I doubt he could overtake Silva...and I don't think GSP will bulk up for it.

Gsp walks around at 195. Sonnen walks around at 230. Silva walks around also around 220-230. Gsp will be to small for the so called super fight. It would be as bad as Aldo fighting gsp. To big of a size difference

Explain what you mean by "walks around"?

Do you mean their weight?

GSP is 77kg=169.4 lbs. 1.78m tall, reach 76"

Silva is 84kg= 184 lbs. 1.88m tall, reach 77.6"

That's only 15 lbs dif. with slight reach advantage
sure the 4" height might be a big factor.

Explain what you mean by "walks around"?

He means that, on a day to day basis, when they haven't cut weight for a fight, they "walk around" at 195 and 220 respectively.

Silva walks around at 230? I didnt know they could cut 50 lbs so easily

Anderson Silva walks around at 220? - Sherdog Mixed Martial Arts Forums

Just did a quick search and looks like his natural weight is between 220-230lbs.

What an "as usual" boring fight GSP performed again.

 

[CUSO]

In what way?

What an "as usual" boring fight GSP performed again.
