Silva = better stand up
Toss up on the ground, I would give the nod to GSP on takedowns, but even on BJJ. I think Silva all things considered with the longer limbs and bigger.

but Silva against much smaller Sakurai was pretty much a tie half way thru the 3rd round before Sakurai tried a risky submission and gave up his back.. Also, a 43yo wrestler Hendo never really was dominating at a slim 185lbs so Im not sure why Silva is so much hyped.. I actually think Machida would win over Silva at the same weight but one thing is sure,
theres absolutely NOTHING proving that Silva is better than Machida and we know how the much bigger Machida (at 205?) vs Penn fight went. I also think GSP is considerably superior to Penn now so in a fight between two 185lbs I would actually favor GSP. Silva is overhyped guys
