BISPING: Anderson SILVA vs GSP - IN THEIR PRIMES - who would have won? 

Come on Bisping... who cares about that... theres alot of conversation to be had about what happened last night and the future to come. For fucks sake. What will happen with lionheart..... dont loose momentum entertaining silly video requests. Stay focused on revelant things... but if you mist have your question answered...GSPs gyno gut would beat Silva's gas station dick pills.... but there both cheaters. So Who cares

Great stuff. I think George :-)

Well brother if they were able to meet in between both their weight classes it would be hard to say really who would win but of course I would George St Pierre🇨🇦💯✌️✌️

VITOR BELROID lmao love you Mike. Never ever change.

LOL Michael. We just pick the opposite as you do. Our odds are much better this way.

😂

They both dog Walk Bisping.

Give this man a medal of honor

great haha

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@twnturbo2 gotcha! 😂

Lol, I love you

I would feel like my loss was in gentler hands with George. Motivated Silva I give myself 1 min

Sounds about right.

🤣🤣🤣

Na I think it's because in Anderson's prime he was only getting threatened by wrestlers, and gsp is known for having the very best wrestling in all of mma.

It’s ok I’ll do it for you: *Anderson Silva wins.* GSP definitely has the abilities to pull off a victory however Styles makes fights and I’m sure Silva’s height, weight, and striking will cause him way more trouble than Carlos Condit. The reason Silva wins is due to his size here and not because his BJJ is too good or his striking too good.

He left depressed after Hendricks. We all thought he lost that fight; he seemingly did, as well. Eventually, he came back and grabbed the title from, no offense, a weak Bisping. Neither looked fantastic. Yea, I’d take GSP. I don’t like the guy, but he’s a great wrestler, and with his athleticism, would prove difficult to Silva.

@@terronymusbraddock2350 to be fair the behind the scenes thing was that steroids were rampant and GSP was scared of losing to a juice head (like Hendricks) when he was probably clean. GSP tried to get him and his opponents to enter usada testing. To my knowledge none of them did. And it's a fair worry considering Hendricks arguably won their fight and then looked TERRIBLE as soon as usada came to the ufc.

@@jakeallstar1 that’s honestly fair because I would hate to taint my legacy losing to juice heads. Ofc that’s assuming if I have any legacy 😂

Lol the best night of your life?

Bisping and GSP gave you the best night? 😂🤐

@@FromTheCityOfAngels2021 oh good joke

@@taraishot100 If you have ever went to a really big UFC event live you would know what he is talking about. My first live UFC was GSP winning the title a 2nd time by dominating Matt Serra in front of a Montreal hometown (the first UFC ever in Canada). The packed stadium flooded the streets screaming GSP! GSP! like a giant mass horde. Every bar was invaded by the after party from the Bell Center. The elevators in the Mariott were all stalled/broken due to overcapacity to the horde. Ran into Jason McDonald on the stairs, patted him on the arm and said "way to go" w/o realizing Joe Doerksen almost twisted his arm off. Congratulated Kenny Florian on his first night as a commentator as he was talking to Bruce Buffer (who I had to compliment on his sports memorabilia collection). The crowd was the LOUDEST FUCKING CROWD! Ariana Celeste is so tiny in person. Cute. Dan Henderson's face is flat from punches, his cheek bones rough. Toughest dude ever. Talked to Matt Hume and Andre Pedernaries (congratulated him on beating Rumina Sato). My friend had a chat with Michael Bisping. Saw the UFC debut of Cain Velasquez. Completely destroyed a guy named Brad Morris. Like less than 60 seconds. My favorite interaction was with Eddie Bravo. I basically turned into a free hype-man. Shook Eddie's hand, said "way to tap out Royler!". "Thanks, man", he replied. Then I announced to a nearby crowd of UFC fans, "HEY GUYS! THIS IS THE MAN THAT TAPPED OUT ROYLER GRACIE" and the crowd rushed him for autographs. Sorry Eddie. And to think, 2 different dates turned down a free ticket. Either something is really wrong with me or something is wrong with women. So yes, this was also my best night.

@@taraishot100 go on then, when was the best night of your life

Hilarious and probably true lol

"For the best or for the worst... be honest."

8 out of 10 gsp

I think gsp loses almost 10 out of 10 times to be honest. The size difference is too huge. And silva’s striking prowess is completely on a different level. Gsp would be forced to use his takedowns and he wouldn’t be successful at it against a fully fit Silva either. Gsp prolly gonna get knocked out by 2nd round or smg like that.

@@orange_penis i watched the GOAT Chael Sonnen take Silva down and pummel him for the majority of 5 rounds. Chael has publicly said (on many occasions) that Georges was stronger than him when they grappled. "Freakish strength from toe to fingertip". Of course Uncle Chael could be exaggerating, as he sometimes does. But, I don't think GSP would have any problem taking Silva down and Pummeling him. Silva would have to finish this on the feet and he'd have to do it early. Which he clearly could do, and I wouldn't be too surprised. If Georges starts getting takedowns early, he'll inevitably wear Silva down. I honestly couldn't pick a winner because I watched both of their careers from start to finish (Yes I'm getting old now). With a Gun to my head though, I'd probably pick GSP. Gsp was much more versatile, he'd never gas, and he'd simply grind him into fatigue.

@@orange_penis OK but GSP‘s ground game is on a completely other level than Silva‘s and you can’t just ignore that he’s one of the best take down artists that ever has been a champion George would be able to bring him to the ground this would’ve been an amazing five to watch I don’t think it’s a 10 out of 10 easy fight for one fighter or the other

@@cnanadatoronto Silva ain't bad on his back aswell. Those long limbs gotta a lot of flexibility to them. Yea I'd give it to gsp though

Nah, GSP intentionally avoided that fight. All due respect to Bisping, he has the perfect stylistic match up for GSP and that's why GSP popped right back in when Bisping won in - instead of when Weidman and Rockhold was the champ, and left before having to fight Whittaker, Yoel, and the new crop of guys.

If Silva stopped fighting before his loss to weidman, you would have said Silva. You’re truly a clown 🤡.

@@Helldog6 bingo 😂

I’m no expert but I would have thought Anderson would have the BJJ advantage especially with his long legs being dangerous even from the bottom

Bisping absolutely destroyed this breakdown. I just subscribed harder than Bill Cosby gets in a coma ward.

belfort didnt become "TRT Belfort" until 2013; juicing for a year and fully developed, he beat 3 top guys in 12 months

@@BOZ_11 I read that he claimed he started TRT in 2011?

@@user-nv2wt4hi8t HELLO, it takes TIME to develop a roid body. you dont just inject and turn into the hulk. 2013 was final form TRT Vitor

I think it has more to do with age than number of fights. Silva didn't lose to Weidman until he was 38 years old. I believe GSP initially retired (after he controversially beat Hendricks) at age 33, which was still within his prime fighting years. Silva's fighting style is also very reliant on reflexes and athletic movement, so as he started aging his fighting style suffered immensely.

@@benlewis5312 in the style matter you are wrong, Anderson style is reliant fully in technic, it's not athleticity at all, Georges otherwise could be said to be one of the most athleticaly impressive guys to ever step in, he was a gorilla and used so much strenght and explosiveness it was insane.

In their primes though Silva had 4 losses compared to George's 2

What a crock of crap...Silva roiding to heal his leg... You roid to build muscle and enhance performance...not to heal bones... Just a Silva fan boy who can't admit that he's been roiding all along...

But they had about the same amount of fights against top level talent. GSP jumped right into the deep end, whereas Silva had a lot of low level opponents in his early career and still had 4 losses by his 20th fight. By the time Silva was fighting top talent he had losses, lots of experience and was in his prime. GSP was still growing as a fighter while fighting top 3 P4P fighters like Hughes and Penn.

I lost a lot of respect for Silva when you two fought! He obviously is one of the all time greatest fighters .. so what does that say about how he looked at Michael bisping?! that he had to take advantage of that situation and take a cheap shot to take him out... And still didn't!! 💪👊 Bisping, you are a legend! Well deserved 🙏

@@tylerlee2531 Bisping fought a washed up Silva, it doesnt say anything

@@zacharycarvalho1383 💯

@@zacharycarvalho1383 silva refused the fight unless it was middleweight which gsp had no intention to move up.... Anderson talked about doing 170 but would only fake the fight with gsp at middleweight .. silva scared to fight gsp bruh

@@dyl2100 Anderson silva is 6'2 u know that right? There is a reason guys that height are only middleweight and up

I mean uhh, atleast in this instance both of them were the champion for the same amount of time AT the same time, tyson and ali doesnt make sense due to the age difference and also mike looked up to ali, I know your talking about hypothetical fights but the way you said ''the biggest super fight that never happened'', atleast this one Could have happened.

The only other fight I wanted to see was Tony vs Khabib.

Jon jones vs Anderson Silva would be the two goats that would be the one

@@FriendlyHomie Khabib vs Charles would be better

Yes, it would have been majestic

You Guys are insane to think gsp could survive standing on the feet with Andersen silva, I think People have a hard time saying that it wouldn’t even be a competition, so they start over thinking it and give it to GSP. I think GSP accomplished more than Silva, but prime vs prime????? Bro silva MURDERS gsp and makes him look like a fool.

@@anthonyontv1061 idk man say what you want but Anderson looked his worst against grapplers, if we compare competition it isn’t even close, GSP fought the way tougher matchups and Anderson looked good against bad fighters Middleweight imo is historically the worst division skill wise

​@@anthonyontv1061 i dunno man, Anderson got his ass BEAT by sonnen

@@carloslemusjr lol gsp fought way tougher opponents who best guy he fought was bj penn ????

The only way silva loses is if he gets bored and starts trolling GSP

The closest we got to seeing this matchup was Kamaru Usman versus Leon Edwards

@@synthsound1493 lol no. Leon out wrestled Usman in round 1. Silva couldn't out wrestle GSP if his life depended on it. if chael can out wrestle him, GSP would lick his lips

Actually not terrible

Never thought of that, but I reckon you're correct there. Biggest difference to me is that Silva had a pretty good ground game, and could submit people there. That's not really a skill we know of for Izzy. He's not terrible on the ground, but I don't feel he's a submission threat at all. Aside from that, it's spot on. It'll never happen unfortunately though, as they're friends, and would prefer to keep as many belts as possible in Africa.

GSP he is the bigger man. And i have a hard time seeing Khabib ragdoll GSP. Also GSP has better standup imo.

But it would be very close i think.

It's JJ

Round head

Yeah, I remember that. GSP had freakish strength for his size. The part that worries me though, that Bisping kind of alluded to, is can he keep up speed wise? When you add 15 pounds of muscle you're gonna slow down. Silva was lanky and his frame can handle that weight better than GSP, he's like 5 inches taller than GSP. That speed difference can be the difference between getting a take down or losing your head to a knee. Bisping said GSP looked slower than he expected in their fight. That height difference also means Silva has the reach advantage. Which is a huge boon for someone with his level of striking and fight IQ.

@@JeremyCuddles He's just so damn explosive. I think the problem for GSP at 185lbs would have been the cardio, more than perhaps even the speed? Or maybe the cardio would have played into lowering his speed? He began to gas around rounds 2-3 in the Bisping fight but had the resurgence, I wonder if similar might have happened again at 185lbs?

But it doesn't. Silva fought Chael with a broken rib. And also, look at the damage he took and how he was at the end of the fight. Completely unchanged. Silva could take A LOT of damage. Just look at his second fight with Weidman. I mean, Weidman took him down and after the first round he had a broken nose and blood on his face and Silva was on his back the whole round. Silva would've won that fight as easily as he won against Chael the second time if the leg braking didn't occur. I mean.. despite Weidman being a lot stronger than GSP, according to GPS himself, he couldn't damage Silva. And I'm not talking about BS Silva putting his face on other fighters fists. I'm talking about the second fight. Weidman is stronger than GSP and Chael didn't damage Silva at all. Silva damaged Weidman while on his back an entire round and was unchanged by the shots. Also Silva is BJJ black belt under Minotauro, never forget that. GSP couldn't submit the Nogueira's brothers if he dreamed about it, and Silva was at the time their best. Damian Maia who has an absurdly better ground game couldn't submit Silva. Silva in his prime was a wizard. GSP is my favorite fighter of all time alongside Demetrius Johnson, but it's an easier win for Silva than people would like to admit.

@@DimitriMoreira And Silva actually have an exciting highlight reel. GSP fans can only make one from pre-Serra.

Are u a scouser by any chance???

Prime Jon Jones

@@ButterBallTheOpossum always

Anderson waited until the last 30 seconds of a 5 round fight against Chael Sonnen to submit him

I would have thought the same...until he got busted roiding... We don't know if Silva was roiding for all his fights...but most likely that he was... Silva wasn't the same after he got forced off of it...just like Hendricks..

@@ShaighJosephson It was after his leg snapped in half that he was never the same. He always seemed hesitant to use his kicks after that plus he was old in the MMA world. The positive steroid test came shortly after. I’ll always wonder though if he always used steroids up until that point or was it just to heal his leg faster. As a fan I hope he didn’t but he very well might have.

Silva could tag him a few times, but GSP would pull him to the ground eventually.

@@KirbyJet14 even if he gets him down, silva is a jujitsu black belt. He is excellent off his back (pause)

@@Broadkill54 Yes, but that doesn't mean he's actually going to get anything from it.

@@Broadkill54serra, Diaz, Condit, and penn... All experts off their backs

I love GSP, but I'm afraid i have to agree with you. Many people forget how dominant Silva was against people bigger than him, dude's unhittable!

GSP didn't want the fight for a reason

@@neinlives9424 he’s not the goat

@@neinlives9424 WW goat, while Silva is MW goat.

Gsp easily

Don't forget him coming back to sneak a bad decision win over bj Penn after bj kicked the sht out him for hours

Anderson silva in the chael fight was still 35 years old dude. Gsps only fight after 32 was bisping. So who knows how gsp would have done if he had continued fighting as ling as silva, after hendriks he left the game and in my opinion it was because he realized he was in for trouble. Johnny in my opinion should have won that damn fight and george took his ball and went home instead of giving him a deserved rematch. Silva never stopped. Broke his dang leg at 38 years old and fought 2 years later.

@@fuckgoogle9061 google and RU-vid ripped you off also ??

GSP also wouldn’t take fights he didn’t think he’d win. Literally why he ducked Silva for years

@@ben9262 💯

Gsp cleaned out the division twice. You don't do that by not taking fights. Matt Hughes was thought to be the greatest WW at the time. BJ Penn was a 2 division champ. Nick Diaz and Condit. And not to mention the the juiced up Hendrix. Who by the way started getting ass kicked by everyone. After he was forced to stop cheating. GSP also said he tried for the Silva fight. Dana didn't like GSP. And to much money was to be made by having both guys as champion.

@@ben9262not sure how someone who apparently has watched the ufc for so long comes up with an answer like that. Georges wanted him at 170 Anderson wanted 185. GSP was willing to meet in the middle but not Anderson. How does this spell fear?

It all depends what they fight at. I mean I think the point about gsp being able to easily come up in his prime is pretty dumb. The only reason he ever could come up is cuz he has some time off to get up there. Imagine how much slower he would’ve been if he bulked up on short notice

But either way I think both win in their respective division but overall gsp was the greater fighter and probably edges it stylistically

GSP beat BJ Penn and Matt Hughes in their primes

GSP humiliated Bisping and finished him, Silva lost to him. And no, that dirty flying knee when Bisping was looking for his mouthpiece don't count

it's important to note the difference in competition between WW & MW. WW flatout had more talent, it was a significantly harder division. Whereas mw was incredibly shallow, its talent pool didn't get deeper until the tail end of Andersons reign. It improved when the ufc absorbed strike force gaining fighters such as Luke rockhold, jacare, Gerard muosasi, Tim kennedy, , At the same time ufc also had some homegrown talent that was emerging, like Chris Weidman, Robert Whittaker, Yoel Romero, Lyoto machida (dropping down from LHW) These were the best middleweights, and Anderson didn't beat any of them. The only top 10 all time great middleweights that Andersons beat were Dan Henderson, vitor belfort, and Rich Franklin middleweight. GSP on the other hand has beat multiple WW's who are in the top 10 all time. Matt hughes 2x, BJ' Penn 2x, Josh koscheck 2x, Nick diaz, Jon Fitch, Carlos condit, Jake shields (who beat alot of the same fighters Anderson did) Despite fighting better competition, GSP was more dominant than Anderson was. At one point GSP had won 25 rounds in a row against championship level opponents, Anderson never won more than 12 rounds in a row.

What about GSP vs Khabib?

Chael fought at 205, he’s 6’1, and he’s an all American. At the end of the fight, he tapped chael out🤡😂🤡 You’re such a casual lmaooo

He also tapped out hendo, 205, 6’0, and Olympian wrestler 😂. Gsp fights at 170.

I go over some of that in the video. Anderson was serious about going down to 170lbs in 2010... I think that would have been a big mistake.

@@bisping Looking forward to your take and the vid Mr.Biping, I'm gonna join you for the watch along now.

@@bisping Hi Michael

@@bisping you saying "big mistake" will forever be related to Glovers last guillotine attempt on Jiri

Yes. Seems there is a magical weight point at which GSP loses... is it below or above 185lbs, that is the question. Neither fighter knows exactly but both have incentive to negotiate hard for upper or lower values, most casuals won't even understand the relevance.

Someone years ago said something about Jones vs Lesnar, I forgot if he said they were thinking about that fight or if he just said he wanted to see that fight.

Gsp did have one of the best jabs in the division but don't forget anderson silva had the best head movement in his prime
