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  |
That was some time ago, even the Ryo Chonan fight can be argued that Silva was still learning the trade. I cannot agree with you about overhype, Silva has destroyed everyone put in front of him.
I do agree that GSP will give BJ fits, but even then, both fighters have progressively better. It's one of those up in the air fights, and one I can't wait to see.
