Some people believe that the only way St. Pierre could have competition is if he goes up a weight class and fights Anderson Silva

I love BJ Penn, but sadly I think GSP is just in another level. A bump up to Anderson Silva could be looked at as a mismatch but could also be a much closer fight than most would expect.

Totally agree, but i think he should fight anthony johnson. that would be a pretty good fight.

Hopefully it never happens.

Well unless GSP just vacates the WW belt and fights at MW full time.

I dont think rumble has the takedown defense or the ground game to hang with gsp right now, he's got the size and the talent, but he's still raw, its gonna be a while before he's a threat to gsp imo

Silva vs GSP is surely a money fight everybody is thinking about but "officially" nobody is talking about.

I don't buy too many UFC cards but IT would be one I would.

He would at least have a better chance than Alves in the takedown defense department. He was a stud D2 wrestler and is even bigger than Thiago. But yeah it probably still wouldnt be enough.

he's got huge reach though too. He would be a bigger problem than alves imo. So maybe he should fight rumble and if he can win that fight he all but deserves a fight with a.silva and should move up for good.

although the down side is he's a small MW and would have size disadvantage in almost every single fight.

Rumble is good and all - and a fun fighter to watch, but he's not even close to being in GSP's league. That fight would be a disaster.
