Perhaps wishful thinking on GSP's part so that he can then say "Oh, well that's not much of a superfight, me vs Anderson Silva, he just lost" the next time it's brought up, then he has an excuse to keep ducking it.

Wrong.

GSP's prediction is 100% correct, that is if he mixed up who Silva & Weidman are.

Chris is hands down not.only the best wrestler Silva has facAled, but the best overall grappler. All of hus accolades as a collegiate wrestler was at a much higher weight than he fights now (whatever the ncaa's equivalent for light heavy is) and he was still able to make all American and place in every national tournament he did, he went to abu dhabi after 9 months of bjj training by tapping all 11 opponents at grapplers quest, almost finished galvao with a rear naked and still manger to push it to overtime with a BADLY broken hand and has been nothing short of great in his career thus far. The ony.fights he hasnt been completely dominant in have been in short notice affairs. GSP is at renzo's enough that he's seen how much of a motherfucking beast he is and take his word as fact. Chris weidman is the best middleweight on the planet. You just.dont know it yet.

Let the down votes rain. I think Anderson Silva is one of the best strikers. But I guess I don't like his cockiness. I don't know what I want more Weidmann to blitz Silva and bury him alive into the octagon within 30 seconds or beat him senseless over the course of the entire five rounds. I like to see someone wipe that grin off of Silva's face. I'd like to see Silva put in a position where he can't pick fights and put him on the other end of the stick where he has take any fight he can get. Just like everybody else. Now many people are going to say Anderson Silva saved UFC 1 whatever the fuck it was by fighting Stephan Bonner. Give me a fucking break. What a fucking clown this guy is...

GSP scared of Spider yes, but i think he was honest with his prediction, it comes across as if hes expecting ppl to not believe him, maybe he knows smth we dont.
either way im probably taking the risk and betting on weidman-wouldnt do so without this vid- seems i have a betting problem.

I don't understand why this has turned into an attack on GSP's character. He is supporting a friend, and he is right when he says it's a bad matchup - if Anderson has a weakness it is against wrestlers (see Chael vs. Silva I).

Anderson has always fought cans. Besides LHW, mw is the weakest division. This will be Silvas toughest fight. Actually I believe st. Pierre can beat silva, as silva has always fought chumps.
