Tweeti personally think GSP will win. he has take downs like sonnen, his sub defense is top knotch and his cardio is some of the best in MMA.

why couldnt he take silva down and hold him for 5. i doubt it will be a great fight. i would rather see bones vs silva

am i crazy?

I think you are....haha!! He has takedowns but from what I've heard, Sonnen is CRAZY strong, so I'm not so sure that GSPs will fair as well as Sonnen if he does get him down. Silva did very well against the TD the last Sonnen fight and that leads me to believe that he will be even better prepared for TDD by the time he fights GSP. I mean, what else does he have to worry about GSP bringing to the table? Silva will have the size, strength, speed, accuracy of striking, chin, submissions and sub defense, etc....GSP only has his wrestling to be honest. GSPs only shot is to get it to the ground and control to a decision on slipping a sub in there....and I don't see either happening. How many times has Anderson gone to a decision? I just see Anderson completely owning GSP standing, stuffing the takedowns, and KO'n GSP.

I would rather see Anderson fight Jones too. Fighting the smaller fighter really is a lose lose for Anderson in my eyes.
