Trollsmasher Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm not going to hide it, I'm a huge fan of Gegard. I would love nothing more than to see Gegard vs. Gustafsson. I think that would be one hell of a fight, and if Gegard can drop back to MW, no question about it he can whup Anderson Silva behind. Gegard has some of the best stand up in mma no question about it!

Stevo_Junior_AldoFTW Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 They won't give him Anderson lol, I do prefer Gegard at MM I think he could go far in the UFC compared to LHW where Jones would just take him down and elbow him to death.

creep_bb Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 He's a great fighter, can't wait to see him in the UFC. Silva however.... not a very good pick for him imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourthnorseman Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Its hard to picture anyone beating Silva! But Gegard has better odds than anybody But Weidman at the moment. He matches up well with Anderson because his striking and submission game are so good. His wrestling isn't the best but Anderson isn't gonna be shooting for double legs so that doesn't matter. He makes a more interesting match up than Bisping thats for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRIDEFCMAN Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Gegard shut.up you live on cans,half-cans,former stars(read cans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdhound Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hope it happens, its a fight i've been wanting to see for a long time. I think Silva should win it, hes a more well rounded fighter but it could be a war. It makes more sense than GSP or Jones for Silva and if he wins it will mean he's beaten two decent fighters in his career (Hendo being the other).

StompGrind Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Andy would wreck him and i don't think he deserves a shot right off the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdhound Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Gegard shut.up you live on cans,half-cans,former stars(read cans) Well hes got pretty much as good a record as Silva tbh. Hes beaten Babalu, Lombard, Manhoef, Hunt and Jardine. Apart from Hendo Silva hasn't had any better competition than that and on the whole i'd say hes fought less dangerous fighters. I do still think Silva wins, but its a perfectly reasonable matchup to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodrigoRua Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Can Gegard wrestle? If not......FAIL!!!!! I think this is pretty much it for ANY of Andersons challenges. That been said, Vitor/Bisping winner will another striking showcase for Anderson. The problem is, however, you cant only be a wrestler to fight Anderson but also a wrestler who can finish either by sub or a nast GnP (ask Sonnen).

jchevalier08 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Gegard isn't beating Anderson anytime soon. He should drop down, but there are too many fighters in that division that are much better than him. I don't believe Anderson is invincible, and believe he will have some hard times ahead in the MW division, Gegard just isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaksame Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 That is why matchups make such a huge difference in this sport.IMO Gegard could not move through the ranks because he would eventually face several wrestlers and take losses.If he was just handed fights ,the way Sonnen and MANY others get handed fights,he would pose Silva a serious threat.

Ameriman Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Gegard will dominate Silva standing, then when Silva shoots for a takedown, Gegard will pull guard then KO Silva with an upkick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroZeN Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 The reason he wants them to throw Silva at him is because he knows if he gets in to the UFC and actually has to earn a title shot he will get dry humped in to oblivion and will never get that title shot.

najma Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I see Gegard losing after a very COMPETETIVE fight in round 2 or even 3. But that's only because Anderson Silver can't be KOed. His head is stronger than BigNogs in his prime. I dream of Silva beating Jones and staying at LHW and then Mousassi and Machida battling it out for the MW belt. That'd be one hell of a fight!
