A focused GSP and a focused BJ Penn would be the fight of the year.
Also, if Rampage beats Griffin (which I think he will, although I will be going for Griffin), look to see a title fight between Rampage and Silva soon.
Jardine learned what a focused Silva can do.
More people will be looking and asking for a Rampage/Liddel rematch though.

One of the hardest punchers in the game. People also dont know that he is an EXCELLENT wrestler as well. He and BJ Penn have some of the best take down defense I have ever seen.
He lost focus for several months but hopefully he is back on track.

It seems to me that Chuck seems able to beat fighters that have better technique. I'm sure having a punch that would rival a mule kick certainly helps.

Well, a lot of what he does is invite someone to shoot in forcing them to absorb a punch. Unfortunately for the person shooting in, if they avoid the big hit, Chuck can sprawl like no other and get back to a stand up fight. People know this now and try their luck at a boxing match which usually means they end up in a daze with their face on the mat.

Wandy vs. the "new" Rampage would be a MUCH better fight than Rampage/Chuck 3.

What about a GSP/Anderson fight? think it'll happen? there is literally NOBODY else in the MW division right now to challenge Anderson. Unless, of course, Wandy goes down, which won't happen if he keeps winning at 205.

agreed on Chuck's Sprawl--best in the game outside of Penn. Penn's flexibility is just silly--you are NOT supposed to be able to fight off a strong single leg that way.

I have seen BJ Penn (with his arms crossed) but his legs behind his head. UNREAL.
Agreed about Anderson Silva. The middle weight class is very lacking in top talent. I would love to see a GSP/Silva matchup.
Silva would probably win because he is a superior striker but noone knows. He hasnt really been tested.
Wanderlei Silva would beat him though. NO DOUBT.
