It's looking that way, although GSPs wrestling would be too good for Silva and it would be like the Sonnen fight

[spud_gun]

What weight would GSP and Silva fight at?

At 205 Silva would murder GSP and i don't see Silva getting down to 185. Possible 195 catchweight non-title fight?

[RichC]

Silva would take GSP IMO.

I really need to start watching this ****.

Gsp is fighting nick Diaz next, can't wait to see this fight, but if he finally fights the spider silva would destroy him IMO might be to big of a weight diff , would av to be a catch weight but really can't see it happening

[Suarez]

Its not even a contest, Silva would win this no problem. I've been very dissapointed with GSP for a while now, he seems to make a meal out of most fights these days and Silva is just too unpredictable. Silva with a first round knockout for me.

I no what your saying there about gsp, since he got knocked out by Serra, he has been to cautious in his fights not willing to go for the kill but I like the way he adapts to each fighters style,
So I don't think silva would knock him out in the first round I recon it could go the distance IMO it's like when chael sonnet fought silva who I recon was about to take the belt of him until he got triangled at the death , now if he can nearly beat him with his wrestling style , I recon gsp game plan would be the same as that's where sivas weakness has been exposed, but if it was a striking match silva would put him to sleep so all in all silva to win but if it went the full 5 rounds I recon gsp would take it , but that's only if they could agree on a catch weight fight, if gsp does Diaz next there is no other opponents left for each of them , so could happen and probably a new years card fight here's hoping anyway.

Lesner v Overeem on December 30th. Should be a good fight. Scratch that, more likely to be a war.

Just found this online. Dave Graham, ex-army and Manchester fighter, is a bloke who went away with us last year golfing in Portugal. I knew he was a decent amateur footballer but didn't realise he was a fighter.

I got really ******ed one night and fell asleep and the rumour has it that he teabagged me although it's not been confirmed

Jon Jones is absolutely unreal. So unorthodox with his striking and if he continues to develop in this way he will become the best fighter in the ufc

Rashad Evans for Jones next, can see Evans going exactly the same way as Rampage though.

For those that have never watched UFC before its free tonight on Premier sports on SKY, give it a record if you have never seen it, hope that this doesn't lead to ESPN losing UFC fights though, as this statement suggests

No probs. Got it from Garath A Davis on Twitter. He's the Telegraphs MMA / Boxing reporter and generally knows his onions.
