LethalStriker Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I think one of the reasons that GSP didn't want to take the fight previously is it would mean probably vacating his title and having to go after the MW title which ultimately meant if he fought Silva it would have to be at MW and he would have to stay at that weight afterwards. But now that neither of them has to worry about their title belts that's two of the biggest obstructions to this fight taking place out of the way. The fight could've taken place at a 175 or 180 lb. catch weight. The point is when they were both champions to do a non title catchweight fight you would've basically put 2 divisions on hold, now that no titles are involved you lose that major stumbling block.

glfpunk Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 It was one but don't forget Anderson did not want to do it either. When the "superfight" was brought up Anderson routinely talked about his preference of Jon Jones in a superfight to GSP. I think at the time he didn't see GSP as much of a challenge as his routine competition at MW and probably thought a Jones fight was actually more of a big deal. But now that he's lost two in a row and would be coming off of a major injury I'm sure his tune would probably change on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 i always got the impression that GSP was the one not willing to make it happen. He kept saying stuff like he 'had business in his own division' and he'd 'have to move up in weight permanently'. Apparently he thought Dan Hardy REALLY earned and deserved that title shot. And he also has clearly never heard of "moneyweight" because he missed the boat on it. Anderson seemed like he would take the fight if he had to, but was never too keen on it.

keith_h Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 If Anderson could have made 170 the fight would have happened, GSP never ducked anyone at welterweight. There just wasn't enough incentive for GSP to risk the loss to a larger opponent while he was champion. And as for "money weight", if the UFC had offered Silva and GSP "big boxing fight" type money (let's say 15-20 million each) I'm sure the fight probably could have happened at a catchweight of 177 or something. But I doubt they ever offered that much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he also has clearly never heard of "moneyweight" because he missed the boat on it. Anderson seemed like he would take the fight if he had to, but was never too keen on it. I think GSP probably knew his chances at victory were slim especially by just going up in weight for the one fight. His main point was that if he were going to have a chance against Silva and move up in weight he wanted to do it the right way and properly add mass to his body and give his body time to adjust to that and thus making that decision would also be a decision to move up in weight permanently and vacate WW. The point though is more that it probably wouldn't have mattered. He could have taken those steps and I don't think it would really increase his chances against Silva but so much and he'd likely lose anyway. In hindsight he should have just cashed in and fought at the catchweight and "retired" after that fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 So, either this is a prelude to Rhonda Rousey putting an armbar on this chauvinist, breaking his arm, and everyone laughs (which I'd prefer), or there's a UFC fighter whose about to get berated by Dana White.. http://extramustard.si.com/2014/01/09/matt-brown-women-should-fight-topless/?eref=sihp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Matt Brown said Mike Pyle could be welterweight champion and that Pyle was better than GSP and that Pyle could beat GSP so imagine how serious his opinion is to be taken by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
