Anderson Silva: "Georges just runs, It's crazy. He has a different view - to take easy fights."

[Nightwish]

Let them fight for the number 2 spot.

 

[ussf18e]

Didn’t he challenge some fighter 30 lbs lighter than himself recently?

 

[billharford]

It would be interesting to see which one of these washed up cheaters would win

 

[HendoIsChamp]

GSP has more top ten victories and when he went up in weight he fought a champion instead of gatekeepers.

 

[deviake]

Anderson looking to get that money.

Can u imagine how badly GSP would whoop Silva if they fougth?

No, I can't, 'cause he won't fight him

 

[ABSthetics]

Says the man who wanted to face the LW?

Why hasn’t GSP fought the Irvins and bonners of MW?

Both Irvin and Bonnar were LHW fights and Bonnar never fought at MW. At least you tried.

 

[The XL]

Well he's right. Anderson's crazy ass fought DC two years ago on no notice and is in his mid 40s fighting an absolute killer, and Georges refuses to fight the current WW champ who is considered by many to be the second best WW of all time, and who is also his age.

Silva vs GSP finally here?

 

[MMAFAN2]

He's not wrong.

GSP never wanted to go up to MW, but he quickly changed his mind when Bisping (an easy opponent) became champ.

Then of course he never defended.

but Andeson lost to Bisping ( The Easy Fight )

Anderson would never say "respect". He says "hespect".

[Mortal Wombat]

I think it’s fair to say GSP is probably cherry picking now but it can’t be said he didn’t consistantly face the top WWs during his prime.

this 100%.

 

[deviake]

So the fighter with the least padded record in MMA history who cleared up his division before taking a break at 32 and returned after 4 years to move up in weight and challenge the MW World Champion is taking easy fights? Sure...

Would GSP have fought for the MW title if Whittaker was the champ and not Bisping?

 

[VVarhead]

Anderson is absolutely correct.

GSP ducked Silva twice, once in his prime, once in 2018 where he refused to sign a bout contract for UFC 230.
GSP cherry-picked Bisping, shyed away from Whittaker or Romero or Woodley.

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

GSP has the most top 5/10 (I think) wins in history, or very close.

GSP is obviously calculated, but also possess a MORE than fair strength-of-schedule for someone of his caliber.

If you want to talk about his cost/benefit analysis perspective on some of these *money* fights, that's perfectly fair, but it should be seen in the context of him fighting strong competition for nearly his entire career in the UFC.

Anderson lost to bisping , GSP came back after 4 years to choke him out in 3 rounds
the only guy to submit bisping who fought at light heavyweight besides luke rockhold

You don't get to criticize a comeback after 4 years fighting the world champ in a bigger division than his natural weight, basically saying "smh, he could have picked an even harder fight". You just don't!
