Alright we all want those super fights and the one we want to see now is GSP vs Anderson Sliva. Everyone but me. Not because I am worried about Anderson losing to GSP or vise versa. It is because it will be so hyped up and be a let down. Here is why:
GSP is a smart fighter. Anderson is a Smart fighter. Both guys have dominated there W/C for a long time now. But this fight here between them is destined to fail. Why? Because both guys are smart. Anderson we all know loves to catch people when the make a mistake, I always have considered him a Passive Counter Striker. He moves great to avoid punches and kicks. Do you think honestly for one second GSP will enter a fight like that with Anderson know. GSP will go to his wrestling which he is great at, but once it gets to the ground I see each other cancel each others skills there. Anderson a BLack belt in BJJ, GSP if am right also has a Black belt in BJJ and a great wrestler. But Anderson ground game has always been underrated because of his TDD, yes that is apart of it but yet he also can fight off his back very well.
This is how theory 1 will play out because of this:
GSP will score a TD and lay on Anderson. Anderson will do well enough to hold GSP from causing damage or moving to a more dominate position. This will happen the entire fight. GSP wins via decision. And the fight is a major let down and also will hurt the reputation of the UFC and MMA.
Now if Anderson surprises and comes it with TDD. The fight is standing. Anderson hardly engages his opponents he wants them to engages him. THen he catches them. Anderson wants that but GSP wont let that happen he is to smart. We see a fight with very little action on the stand up. This how theroy 2 will play out then:
Anderson, who is imo the better striker, will do enough to win by decision if the fight is standing. But we get another Damian Mia vs Anderson Silva showing. Except without the showboating. Anderson wins via Decision. The fight is a major let down. And will hurt both the UFC and MMA reputation.
Now for the best theory of them all. And has very little chance of happening.
The fight does not happen. lol JK. Because it will. Both fighters go out there and lay it on the line. And fight to fight.The result who knows. Either one can win. By decision, TKO, KO, Sub, w/e. The fight will be exciting and will live up to all the hype. I can dream can't I?
This no way attempting to say either fighter is great or not. I am just saying that each others styles does not match up and will not live up to the hype the UFC will market it for. Sorry This fight should only remain a dream for us to we can speculate how it could happen. So we will never be let down. We can at least hope it could have been a great fight.
