UFC 101 after results

Yeah, Monkeyhead is right... Anderson walks around at 220, maybe 225. He cuts weight to fight in 185, so he is actually a pretty big middleweight on the day of the fight.
GSP actually doesn't have to cut much weight to fight, he's not as big as the majority of Welterweights.

GSP wins...and Silva wins again...it'll be a super fight.

Silva gets as big as 220 right after the fights, but he has said he never gets above 220. he has been quoted as saying when he begins his pre fight training he is arund 215 lbs.
he is a bigger MW, but it isnt like he is the only huge MW.
Franklin is a big MW, so is Marquardt.

GSP walks around at like 185 lbs. hes not the biggest WW, but he is up there. hes not a small WW by any means.

but any real MMA fan is dying to see these two guys fight.

I for one think Silva will dismantle him, GSP hasnt faced a striker that is near as great as Silva.
Alves hit hard, but he is nowhere near the level of striking of Silva.

GSP would struggle mightily trying to take down Silva, GSP is usually, not always, bigger than his opponents.

I forgot to mention this;

the rumblings are that possibly Silva vacating his MW title and moving up to LHW full time.

this kills all GSP/Silva talk, but makes the Machida/Silva talk pick up ten fold.

Silva says he will not fight Machida, but Dana White says he will make it happen.

I for one do not see it happening. Machida and Silva train together, and both respect each other to the utmost degree.

lol

j/k

The Machida vs Silva fight will never happen.

Silva will not vacate his belt, he'll attempt to hold both before that happens.
He only has a few fights left, and then he is retiring. That's a smart move on his part. Do all you can, and still get out before getting too damaged.

Reports came in and Griffin was fine. He actually left uninjured, except for his pride.

he will have to vacate his belt, because of the UFC champion clause in his contract.

as long as you are the champion, you cannot leave

but machia/silva will never fight, they are training partners and both have stated they will not fight.
machida said he would 'consider' it for $100 million haha

I would love to see the GSP / Silva fight. But he would be giving up to much wieght.

A kung le Silva fight would be pretty cool.

you can't leave, but you can retire as the champion. That's the difference
