At least these two fighters are willing to take the fight to anderson. How many 185 pound fighters have been doing that lately?

I agree on your Henderson point. The first round of that fight showed Dan handle Anderson completely. It wasnt until the next round where he got reckless and abandoned the gameplan that gave him great success in the first round.

Wandy vs Anderson would be a incredible fight. The advantages Anderson has had over most opponents would be nullified by Wandys schooling in those same areas.

I think Alves is a elite fighter, but I think GSP has went beyond that and taken it to the level of a "art". I think it will be a extremely competetive match but I think GSPs superiority in all aspects of the fight game will win him this fight.

Matt almost had Alves at one point in their fight...but look at what GSP did to Matt in their last fight. I believe GSP will dominate this fight and it will be a 5 round decision based victory for GSP.

I hope so too...its exilerating to have a title defender for more a good time like Anderson and GSP, and probably Machida too.

thank you.

If the fight stays standing I think that Alves will win but if GSP is able to take Alves down I think he wins.

What does he need to prove? I thought you guys are always saying the fighter should stay with his "bread & butter". It sounds like from what y'all have said, his ground game is that so why would you approve of him standing with Alves?
