I can't wait for this card, I've looked forward to this for a while. I'm REALLY pulling for Shields in this one.

I'm a fucking idiot...For some reason I was thinking Silva was fighting Shields, I was reading something on Silva at the time

Yea, I was reading the other thread about Silva going up to the light heavy class and then switch to this one and lost my train of thought. I confused myself I guess

GSP is probably my favorite fighter, well next to Hughes. But GSP is always so well prepared and has amazing skills. I predict GSP dominates! I'm really hoping that there is a GSP-Silva super fight! People think I am crazy, but I really think GSP will win that, and I have a feeling it will be a walk in the park for him.

Well The only reason why I would want gsp to win is so he could fight Silva (although it seems like that fight is further and further from reality as the days pass) It wouldnt be a walk in the park for him, and he would have to Take silva down and stay on top of him like Sonnen did, bc if he didnt he would most certainly get KO'd, he is a game plan guy though so gsp would absolutely shoot from far out for the takedown and ground and pound for 5 rounds

So true! But GSP won't leave his arm hanging and get caught in a triangle(idiot) haha. GSP and his trainers will have Silva figured out to a tee, and actually stick to the game plan, that's what makes him so good...that and his work ethic.

I just don't think GSP could keep Silva down very easily. I think he can take him down, but keeping him down is a different story, I just would question his capability of that aspect. If he can, he could win

Yea when Silva starts throwin his elbows into the top of gsp's head at 200mph and doesnt stop he'd get up I bet, he hasnt experienced that before

I think GSP would have no problem keeping him down, his only problems are avoiding the strikes on the way in and staying out of the triangle. GSP has dominated some very good wrestlers, Silva won't pose a problem for him there. Also, Silva has struggled against fighters who take him down. But, in the past those fighters have either gassed out (Travis Lutter) or gotten sloppy (Henderson and Sonnen). GSP will not gas out or get sloppy, so Silva will have to beat him while they are standing which he didn't come close to doing against Sonnen.
If there is anyone you can't count out, it is Silva, but I really like GSP in this fight.

Rumor is GSP is considering competing to make the Canadian Olympic wrestling team. I think he has a real chance, and its impressive considering he has no wrestling background.
Here is some footage of GSP doing some wrestling training:
