The problem is GSP has never been dominated in a fight like Silva was for 23 mintues against Sonnen. GSP has got caught once with a punch against Serra, but never was man handled like Silva was.

Silva is becoming more and more "main stream". He just signed with Nike and BK to do endorsements. Dana will not put him in a position to lose any time soon.

It would be a good gamble for him however. If he wins then his star is off the charts, if he loses in a close fight many will say pound for pound he is probably the better fighter that just stepped up in weight and if he gets pounded most would say "oh well, he stepped up and fought a bigger guy". Losing to Silva wouldn't be a stain to most knowledgeable fight fans. Much more upside than down IMHO. Silva on the other hand has little to gain and a lot to lose in this match up IMO.

He would get those huge money assurances for taking this fight. Plus he could take the deals Silva just got to an even higher level if he wins. I would think that would be very attractive to him. Like I said before, I honestly don't think his marketability gets hurt at all if he were to lose to Silva. Only chance of that would be if he went out like a girl and tapped to strikes.

Yeah that would be huge for all involved. PPV would set records and they could really pump up ticket prices to record levels as well.

I'd finally get rid of my tube and buy a new 52" LCD for that fight.

That would be the best fight of all time, but i bet Jones could dethrone the old lion, he's even quicker & more unorthodox imo.
