Anderson will lose soon enough, more likely at 205 if he fight any one worth a damn.

At 185 UFC just got rid of his biggest threat by refusing to pay Hendo what he wanted.


Agree.  I think that it would be great if sonnen or marqhart would get the title from silva.

If nate can get over his iam a striker phase fast, maybe.  Sonnen is a wrestler to the core, he coudl grind out a dec or even stopage.

It would do wonders to open up may interesting match ups at 185, thast for sure. 



yeah, sonnen is a wrestler but his striking is actually decent. I think that sonnen could have a chance to beat silva esp in the later rounds b/c silva is a speed type of fighter.  and that's the thing about wrestling is that its a great art for slowly imposing your will, for grinding the competition down and tiring them out. 

If sonnen knowns how to avoid the thai clinch and subsequent knee that gave rich franklin fits, he could be in for a belt

Hopefully we will get to see it sooner not later.

Haha.  Georges is the motherfuckin' man.

 

Yah I agree mostly because he takes his cardio workout more seriously than an other fighter. Stamina will probably become more nessasary in the sport if upcoming fighters want to beat the likes of Pierre and Anderson Sylva.

Most top fighters have no problem with stanima.

Beating either GSP or Spider has lnothing to do with their opponents stanima. 



GSP has great stamina

Silva, not so much but the brothas usually dont have that anyway, that's why they usually do short distance track events. Nothing wrong with that, you just have to know your opponent with combat sports, and if you can get somebody that can wear silva out, you might find somebody that can be dominant in the later rounds or even knock his ass out.  Now, I could be wrong about silva's stamina, but he wins almost every fight in the first round, so that leads me to beleive that he is a typical brotha, great at first round then tires out.

Well you are a new mma fan aint yahh.  Have you seen Anderson fights not just his high light reel, 5 rounds with Leites 3 with Cote ?  The man barely breaks a sweat.

Dude the man has not even been knocked down his entire career, yet some one knock his ass out. 

Beating Anderson is simple, avoid his strikes get near him clinch and get him down beofre he hurts you in the clinch.  On the ground maintain dominant positin with out getting subed, pepper him with strikes with out him reversing position.  Do that for 5 rounds and bam The Spider lost his belt.

... hehe simple.

Right now hes got awseome cardio.

But its a well known fact BJ was a lazy ass fuk, depended on his talent and never took training to seriously. Only after getting his ass beat badly did his attitude change.
