If/when GSP beats Shields, superfight has to happen. Both have cleaned their divisions out. Anderson could move up to 205, but he's still not young and Machida is still relevant in the division.Prophecy wrote:So really a fight with GSP or has to be next right?

Use his top notch MMA wrestling to takedown an opponent and continuously advance position to punch an opponent and look for subs? You mean the same exact gameplan that Jones would try to use against Silva?binary wrote:I think Jones vs. Silva would be more exciting.

Rashad Evans said that if Jones wins he'd move down to MW or up to HW, i think the nigga would do good at MW, he'd have good fights against
Rashad vs. Chael Sonnen
Rashad vs. Okami
Rashad vs. Anderson Silva
they can set him up to be the next MW contender after Brian Stann, I still don't think GSP is going to move up to fight Anderson, he's always said he wanted to pack on muscle properly and make it a full time switch, i think dana's bs'ing.

Stann isn't even close to being a contender and I don't see Rashad cutting to 185 being that good of an idea since I'm pretty sure he walks around at about 235-240.Tweak Da Leak wrote:Rashad Evans said that if Jones wins he'd move down to MW or up to HW, i think the nigga would do good at MW, he'd have good fights against

i was being facetious. of course i'd still love to see gsp fight silva, but imo the size difference between the two is just enough to give silva too much of an advantage.Kid That's Lifeless wrote:GSP vs. Silva decides who the best P4P fighter is... how can you say screw that?manwhore wrote:screw gsp vs silva, i wanna see silva vs bones.
as if having sensai seagal teaching him new unknown moves isn't unfair enough.

Brian Stann isn't top 10 or near a title shot, but he could be in the picture in a few fights. He's undefeated at MW and beat Leben after he submitted Akiyama and finished Simpson. Not that Leben is an amazing win, but he seemed to be much improved and was on a pretty impressive 3 fight winning streak, especially when you consider beating Simpson and Akiyama within 2 weeks of each other. Not to mention he's the only person, along with Silva, that finished Leben like that. He's fighting Wanderlei next at UFC 130, so if he gets passed him, he will certainly be in the picture and could be in a big contender fight after that.Kid That's Lifeless wrote:Stann isn't even close to being a contender and I don't see Rashad cutting to 185 being that good of an idea since I'm pretty sure he walks around at about 235-240.Tweak Da Leak wrote:Rashad Evans said that if Jones wins he'd move down to MW or up to HW, i think the nigga would do good at MW, he'd have good fights against

The card was pretty good, but I think the Jones vs Shogun announcement and Silva's KO overshadow everything. Jones vs Shogun is such an intriguing fight. It's only 6 weeks away and who knows how well Jones will perform with this short notice. Also, who knows how Shogun will adjust to the change of opponents and if his injury is fully healed. Maybe we'll get another performance like the one against Griffin or something much better. Looking at the Griffin fight, the grappling and weight advantage really tired out Shogun as well as the reach advantage on the feet. Shogun didn't grapple in any of his fights since he's been "back" so who knows if the cardio will be all that improved from the Griffin fight, especially with the lay off and injury. I see the fight taking place mostly on the ground. On the feet, I see Shogun trying to use some punches but not having the most success because he doesn't have the best technique and does have problem with reach at times. Jones doesn't use his reach that well, but it will provide a few problems. Fuck this post is gone too long...
I'm picking Shogun over Jones. Jones is a little green and on the ground he makes some mistakes. Look at the Vera fight. If it were Shogun on the bottom, Jones would have definitely been arm barred, or at least a close attempt. On the feet, Jones doesn't use his reach all that well and we haven't seen him deal with the kicks that Shogun will bring. Jones isn't a double leg guy so Shogun's kicks shouldn't be threatened by too many catch and trips or double legs. Shogun via sub.

At the Segal interview. He's delusional. Even though I went crazy for the Silva kick, I couldn't help but think of this right after the fight was over..
