He only has one way to win just like Leites. We will see against Marquadt how he copes against a top tier fighter. Maybe he will win but Henderson will just take it straight off him.

He just plain ends fights and look impressive as hell doing it and he is doing nothing but getting better and more well rounded. Silvas last fight showed if nothing else that he isnt confident in his ability to fight on the ground and I have no doubt in my mind that is exactly where this fight is going to end up.

He is a one trick pony. Even if he vastly improves his stand up it will still be average and I really don't think the guy will ever amount to much more than a also ran.

Georges impresses the HELL out of me when he utterly DESTROYED Thiago Alves. That complete domination alone should have catapulted to #1 without having to worry about anyone else winning and dethroning him. The man is just incredible. I'd have to say BJ is wrong though about the steroid allegations. GSP is just naturally gifted. I’ll agree with you BigDave, in a heartbeat.

I mean look at the crap he has been fighting, Irvin,Cote, and Lietase. Give me a break I hope Griffin destroys him then I'd like to see him go in there and get tapped out By Maia. When is everyone just going to admit that GSP is the best p4p in the world and the rest arent even near his level. Had to throw that in here havent heard enough about rush the last week or so. ;) I’m just wondering why Silva seems to be ducking a guy that I feel will walk right threw him and thats damien maia.

As for the boxing compression s13 i know exactly what your talking about since my brother is a boxer and agrees with me and this roy jones fight. its not needed but i hear ya. Like I have said before Silva has every right to do what ever it is he wants but me as a PAYING FAN who is helping line his pockets I want to see him against the axe murderer, not to really with hendo cause he already beat him. Then move up and take on rashad, rampage, belfort, the dragon if they would put the friendship thing to the side.

I have a friend here at work who is from brazil and he translated the comments anderson made after the thales fight and the interpreter got the words all wrong saying that about the fans. He was basically saying that it takes 2 to fight which it does. If you look at this link on youtube, even chuck got mad FOR Anderson. You could tell that anderson was pissed and didn't even want to answer the question from Mike Straka from fox fight game. check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__qFgv8zSNU Now if i must say, the last 2 fights anderson had. The one with cote was about to be finished as he was landing more and more on cote then his knee went out. Then against Thales, the guy kept going to the ground when anderson would attack and play 'ufc leather facial makeover', so don't blame him. I think anderson has the same problem roy jones did. He's so much better than everyone else that we all have become spoiled and expect a highlight every time. And for the guy that made comments about him boxing roy jones, i guess you don't realise that boxers have boxing skills that are light years ahead of MMA guys (I was boxing since I was 15 and I trained in MMA on and off a few years till this past april when I shattered my tibia). I think anderson is just trying to test himself against someone who he has been compared too respectively...not to mention that roy could KO most MMA practitioners in a boxing ring. You should look up the video on youtube of him sparring with minotauro..good stuff, they banged real hard. Persian Prince, you couldn’t be more wrong.

Lutter was doing well with the gnp. But, lol, S13, you're right: "Now think about this. If travis was that good to get him in full mount, how good must anderson’s bjj be to get out of it, then triangle him and elbow him into submission?" +1 Based on Anderson's last two fights, he has been planning to pace himself over 5 rds and kick ass at the end. Unfortunately Cote got hurt and Leites just couldn't hang. We know Griffin is tough and can definitely put up a great fight for 5 rounds. So we can speculate he will be willing to just mix it up in standup if it's close; the standup could be very good, but Anderson Silva will still have the edge in speed, footwork, and unpredictable striking angles and timing - Forrest's kickboxing looked great against Rashad and Rampage but standup should still favor Silva's speed, timing, angles and better footwork. Based on Drysdale's comments and Griffin's weight advantage, if Griffin spots opportunities he will go for press against fence and takedown. That will be his plan and he sticks to his plan very, very well. If he does that he could win, but will probably lose even if he appears to be winning like against Rashad or like Anderson pulling out the sub on Lutter. Like everyone else, I hope the Spider has now been majorly alerted to this gnp aspect of the gameplan, and TKO's or subs Forrest in rd 3 or 4. Bring a little of his big finish back. He seems to be coasting a little too easily lately. Drysdale has a good point. Lutter was doing well with the gnp. But, lol, S13, you’re right:

I still think Silva wont be able to manhandle griffin the way he has with a guy like thompson (who sucks ass imo) and in the end I see forest submiting silva early in the 3rd. i think Silva is just frustrated with the way his last two fights have gone and when he heard this it was like the straw that broke the camels back, I hope he doesnt lose focus and just go out there trying to prove a point because Griffin is no slouch and we all know he has unhumane ability to take a beating.
