Is anyone else not excited for Anderson silva super fights?

I don't want to see silva fight jones or gsp, I think both fights could be pretty boring.

Jones and silva have very unique striking and with a long range between both fighters I think it would be a slow process of feeling each other out. It possibly has potential for a fun striking battle though. If jones does get into clinch range and gets ahold of silva I think it's over. Having the clinch he would get the takedown and not even silva could escape the hellbows

Now onto gsp, he has good striking but lacks finishing power. I think silva would tool him on the feet pretty good. The reason i think silva would tool gsp on the feet is well silva lives in the matrix. If silva can stop gsp's takedowns then I don't think he has anything to worry about. If gsp can consistently get a takedown it will prolly look like silva vs Chael 1 with silva taking less damage or a typical gsp fight.

I'm not sure either fight would live up to the hype as these fights have been in the making for a while

I thought I was the only one that wanted nothing to do with these super fights

Haha I dont really care as much about the fatty divisions. 155 and below is what gets my loins tingling

I'd rather see Silva fight Diaz, I know Nick can actually absorb more of the power shots then Silva and will push the pace. As for Jones I don't really know else I'd want him to fight.

I'd be interested in seeing Diaz vs silva. Diaz would just walk forward and taunt him to death while eating shots. It would be interesting to see someone push the pace on silva except for Sonnen since Diaz isn't a wrestler and wouldn't be looking for the takedown

Jones vs Silva with a little shit talking between them would be as epic as you could get, in my humble opinion, don't hate me Brent and Jeremy :)

Ehh I don't think jones is in a fight with silva....compare the Bonnar fights. Of course that is my opinion and probably means absolutely nothing, but jones has two gigantic holes in his game. Against a technical striker (see machida fight) and against decent jiu jitsu (see vitor Belfort fight). Anderson is both of those. Sure Anderson had issues with chaels wrestling, but no wrestler before him. Idk. I just don't see it. :)

I think Silva could take him on the feet pretty decisively but Jones is too smart especially with Jackson in his corner to stand and trade. Jones would toss Silva an beat the piss out of him on the ground. Jones GNP aren't the rabbit punches Sonnen throws so I'd see if not a finish a string of 10-8 rounds.

I'd be more interested in Jones vs Silva. I have close to zero desire to watch Spider vs GSP.


Jones vs Silva would make me sad though. I really feel like Jone's size and grappling would be too much for Anderson and I would hate to see a legend get beat down so badly. I can only imagine how Fedor acolytes felt while watching Bigfoot pound away for 4 minutes straight.

But on the other hand, one of the things that has made Anderson's legend so big is that he seems to tool LHW's worse than he does MW's. So it's like, there's that possibility that Anderson might really pull this one off. If the fight ever happens, Anderson may as well just retire, win or lose. But it would be THE most epic fight of all time and the perfect end to a legendary fight career. Anderson is the Michael Jordan of MMA. Jones is more like the Lebron. More athletic than skillful, but still very skillful at the same time.

I'm on the fence about a Bones/Spider fight. But I have no desire to see Spider beat up someone smaller than him....and on the flip side, I'm not interested in watching GSP cling to dear life for a decision win if he's able to score TD's.

Jones/Spider has way more potential.

They are the two scariest fighters in ufc history. Period. Makeh' de fightch!

Only we throw a drunk Tank Abbot in there to make it a triple threat match. I would keep that shit on my DVR for years!
