"MUCH MUCH better to avoid the meaningful # contender match or TRUE GOAT status match w/ JBJ.....and instead drop weight and chase down poor little GSP "
lol @ acting like fighting the 9-0 Chris Weidman is a bigger, better, or more meaningful fight than one between the #1 and #2 p4p fighters in the world.

Would anyone seriously want to see Weidman/Anderson over GSP/Anderson?
The WEidman hype is insane, where was all this after his lackluster performance against Maia?
Auzzie - "poor little GSP who can't even strike w/ matt serra, cannot TKO or submit anyone @ 170bs"
GSP can outstrike a lot of top fighters. He is probably the most complete fighter in mma history.
GSP couldn't outstrike the 5ft 6 blown up 155lb jouneyman grappler, Matt Serra
And no...while the jab is a very important punch...just pecking away with it looking to score...and never looking to even try to finish the fight w/ a KO, TKO, or anything is not great striking. Effective...for decision wins layered w/ lay and pray (w/ no hope of subs).

Well obviously you wouldn't know...because you've never trained striking...or anything...at all...as we all know.
#1-2 p 4 p fighter...from a lower weight class...don't forget that.
Anderson is picking GSP for a VERY VERY good reason.
Little secret: "PSSST...it's not because he's looking to challenge himself"
No, he's picking this fight because it's an easy match...against a smaller fighter...who literally cannot finish 170lbs fighters in his own weight class...cannot sub them, ground and pound them, and CERTIANLY cannot KO or even TKO them.
So what does Anderson have to worry about exactly ????
?????????
Getting taken down ? And then what ? What's GSP going to do to Anderson ? Hurt him ? LOL.....Sub him ?? LOLOLOL....Ground and pound finish him ??? Does anyone actually think that the smaller non lethal GSP can take down and control Anderson for FIVE FULL ROUNDS witghout Anderson getting up and pushing his shit in ???
Nope.
LOLOLOLOL !!
No, Anderson is taking this match because it sounds good on paper...looks good on his resume and will make him some quick cash....Stylaistically it is an EASY EASY EASY fight for him where he is guarunteed not to take ANY damage.
Anderson certaibnly wouldn't have that guaruntee fighting the #1 contender or better yet the TRUE GOAT, JBJ....That sounds just atad more dangerous doesn't it ?
lol
Anderson doesn't want a challenge...he wants an easy win...If he really wanted to challenge himself or make superfights he's step up to JBJ who already said TWICE that he would LOOOOOOOOOOVE to fight Anderson (it's on video..DUH !!!).
Who would you rather fight ? JBJ who makes Shogan tap from strikes, submits Rampage, and chokes Machida into a bloody heap...or GSP who can only pull off lay and pray decision wins @ 170 @ and is afraid to trade w/ Matt Serra ?
If that's too big a task for the super duper best eva ninja GOAT...then there's Weidman, the number 1 contender who's earned his shot.
But yeah, OBVIOUSLY GSP is a MUCH easier far less dangerous fight than Weidman...and more money as well.
This is all transparent...and you can't blame Anderson. BIG Risk/Less money vs NO RISK/ BIG MONEY....makes sense.
" #1-2 p 4 p fighter...from a lower weight class...don't forget that."
So you would rather have seen, say, Fedor fight against whichever HW managed to put a couple wins together whom he hadn't already destroyed (say, Mark Hunt), than against Shogun or Wanderlei at their peaks?
" GSP couldn't outstrike the 5ft 6 blown up 155lb jouneyman grappler, Matt Serra "
Yet he could outstrike the 5'9" 210lb walking Alves.
Didn't read the rest of your heavily spaced nonsense.
Weidman has to beat a top contender before getting a shot. No way in hell Munoz was #3. Talk to me when he beats Belcher, Belfort, Bisping, Okami and those caliber of fighters
superCalo -mijo - Everyone can beat Anderson Silva now right? He should just stay at 185lb, because Weidman beat Munoz, and now he is the best thing since peanut butter.
Who is this Herman guy anyways?
7'4" , 350 lbs of pure muscle and bolts, Anderson maybe good but no way he gets through Herman
Thread should have ended here.
am i the only one thinking that win over maia was sort of a pyrrhic victory? everytime someone uses that maia-win as an argument i am all "dude...did you see the fight? that's no positive contribution for the point you are trying to make..."
"is it just me?"
Herman is correct
MarcusRenatoBlackBelt - Weidman has NOTHING on the feet for Anderson Silva.
but he loses the fight to weidman because silva has nothing on the ground for him..and weidman takes this fight where he wants is

Oh you read EVERY WORD...You always do. It's all you do...LOL, like you have anything better to do.
You read every word...but do not like what they say...and you have no answer for it...Not one that makes sense or isn't full of shit anyway.
lol
Here ya go orcus...read "AGAIN"- lol

Anderson certainly wouldn't have that guarantee fighting the #1 contender or better yet the TRUE GOAT, JBJ....That sounds just a tad more dangerous doesn't it ? Hmmmm...
Anderson doesn't want a challenge...he wants an easy win...If he really wanted to challenge himself or make superfights he's step up to JBJ who already said TWICE that he would LOOOOOOOOOOVE to fight Anderson (it's on video..DUH !!!).....Go on and act likem JBJ didn't say this....TWICE...ON VIDEO...lol

Wow, SCARHEAD is in full 12 year old fighter bashing hissy fit form.
UGCTT_LnPninja - Wow, SCARHEAD is in full 12 year old fighter bashing hissy fit form.
Yeah i agree i think his Huggies are full and his sippy cup is empty. Somebody call the wambulance.

" this old story.... Ed has been hit too many times in the head."
Ya think ?? Look at that pic, looks like somebody beat him with a broom handle.
Anderson Silva is a badass. Just by mentioning his name, a gatekeeper becomes momentarily relevant.
lol @ Weidman being a better fighter than Georges St Pierre, one of the best fighters the sport has ever seen. I mean, the guy KO'd Mark Munoz!!!!
It doesnt matter if hes considered the P4P best... hes still the champ and champs are suppose to fight the number 2 guy... right now, thats Weidman... Tough s**t if you dont like it
Anderson's camp is scared of the threat Weidman poses... a superior wrestler with excellent jiu jitsu... whether people want to admit it or not, Weidman's style matches up well with Anderson.
And to people who think thats a lame duck fight, dont forget your boy Soares was rallying for Anderson vs Franklin III, that would be a much more closely contested bout 
Auzzie - "poor little GSP who can't even strike w/ matt serra, cannot TKO or submit anyone @ 170bs"
GSP can outstrike a lot of top fighters. He is probably the most complete fighter in mma history.
Serra would KO GSP again in the rubber match.

He isn't #2 clear cut, arguments can be made Weidman needs another fight to solidify that arguement.
