Anderson Silva: I'm not impressed by GSP or BJ Penn

Interesting. I think GSP beats him handily and hell, even BJ Penn might be able to beat him.

**Team Punishment** · 02-23-2010, 07:26 AM

wonder if hes impressed by flying heel hooks?

**PrettyPinkDonut** · 02-23-2010, 07:29 AM

GSP im not imressed by your performance

**forcefedfreak** · 02-23-2010, 07:53 AM

Meh, Anderson Silva is just another puppet in Ed Soares game.

**Blue Blazer** · 02-23-2010, 09:33 AM

All hype...ufc is all hype to prep for potential fights, if Silva and GSP do indeed fight, they'll create a montage like this and play it on the UFC Countdown lol. HYPE

**str8flexed** · 02-23-2010, 09:58 AM

and here comes the Silva hate train.

Silva is probably just being honest LOL.

**jay jay** · 02-23-2010, 10:01 AM

If I was where Anderson is right now I'd probably answer pretty close to the same. I think as soon as you start thinking your the best and you can't be beaten then you lose something vital. And just being realistic who's to say who's the best? Anyone can get caught. Sometimes the guy beating up on all the top fighters has a hole in his game that a lower level fighter could take advantage of.

I don't think he was saying gsp, penn, or fedor were worse than him, I think he just sees them the same way he sees himself.

yooooo brooooooo silva is sooooo arrogaaaaaaaaant, hes evil!!

silva just speaks whats on his mind, the dude is just an average guy. talks **** makes a few jokes, but he still has class.

I know despite this, they'll be a ****storm in here. Especially since people will defend anyone who belittles GSP

.

**winthorpe** · 02-23-2010, 10:02 AM

Eh. Doubt he's hyping, just stating his opinion. I think Anderson would KO GSP.

**Gomi** · 02-23-2010, 10:10 AM

anderson easily outstrikes both of them

**titanium25** · 02-23-2010, 10:14 AM

i would love to see him fight Fedor at 205 lbs, almost every poll has fedor no1 and Anderson at no2. the winner of that fight would be the best, not the winner of GSP/Anderson.

dude i hope your not belitiling gsp

and anderson should be impressed by gsp and bj because i belive both could beat him just bj couldnt get to the right weight without getting out his old donut diet

**Normot** · 02-23-2010, 10:20 AM

If he doesn't think of himself as being super impressive than how could he think that of BJ and GSP?

Silva has looked pretty damn untouchable in his career I wont lie and Im a big GSP fan. I hope after GSP gets done with Hardy him and Silva go at it.

and when they do i hope they make it 5 minute unlimited rounds until theres a winner lol!!

GSP's a gentleman. I don't know how anyone can have anything bad to say about him.

So basically the video proved Anderson Silva tells it like it is, but when someone calls him the best, he returns the favor.

Not that it would matter against GSP.. he will be on his ass in the first 10 seconds of the fight.

I've never seen GSP or BJ Penn go round after round of not engaging their opponent and dancing like fools. I've also never seen them complain about fights or fight cans like Thales and Irvin.

GSP would try for the whole takedown/decision thing, but would get knocked out trying. And even if GSP did get him down, he couldn't keep him there.

Hopefully we will find out.

Fedor already stated he has no interest in dropping weight.

What makes you think GSP couldn't keep Silva on the ground?

Just curious.

anderson is too big for GSP, he will get picked apart in the striking and will have a very tough time taking anderson down, and if he doesn take him down he won't be able to keep him there.

they said Thiago Alves was too big for GSP as well

who is "they"? I never thought that, thiago may be bigger than him muscular wise but gsp has a much larger frame than him, just like anderson has a much larger frame than gsp, not to mention, the difference in weight between gsp and thiago was like 10 lbs, the difference between anderson and gsp is like 35, big difference.

Just curious.

Silva is bigger and stronger than the guys GSP bullies around on the ground. I don't believe his ground and pound will be effective against Silva. I also feel Silva's ground work could get him out of, and up from, anything on the ground that GSP could do to him. But that's all just opinion. And like anyone's, it can be wrong.

Are you implying with this question that you feel GSP could get Silva down and keep him down? If so, what makes you think this?

silva also has a very underrated ground game, he's a bjj black belt and has been for a number of years, longer than gsp
