Silva Vs GSP or Jones?

After Jon Jones domination over Shogun Rua last night, I can’t help but wonder what fight would be better, Silva Vs GSP or Silva Vs Jones?

I personally think GSP Vs Silva after a GSP win over Jake Shields would be like throwing GSP to the sharks and could potentially hurt his reputation, his record and his career. I am not saying I don’t want to see this fight at some point; I am more saying that GSP needs time adjust and put on the proper weight needed to compete in the 185lbs division if he is planning to make the move permanently. Making Silva & GSP fight at a catch weight would be a waist of time; in my opinion this fight needs to be a title fight, Champion Vs Champion not to mention Silva already cuts a lot of weight to make 185. The only way I would want to see this fight is if GSP wants to try to challenge his self by becoming a dual division Champion and defend 2 belts simultaneously. The problem with that is I don’t think GSP has the size or strength to compete with a lot of the guys at 185 let alone Anderson Silva; GSP has trouble finishing fights at 170.

In my opinion the more attractive fight is Silva Vs Jones. Anderson Silva is the type of fighter that likes to be challenged & Jon Jones could be the guy to give him that challenge he wants. Anderson has already shown he is capable of fighting at both weights with out hindering performance in either; he even seems to walk through guys easier at 205 then he does at 185. Silva has the potential to be the first dual champion in the UFC but a fight against Jon Jones would not be a walk in the park like his last few fights a 205. Jones has an outstanding wrestling game and we have seen Silva struggle with wrestlers in the past. Jones also has an ever growing arsenal of striking that is unorthodox and could very well match Silva in the stand up department; though I give Silva the edge as he seem to be more pin point and usually toys with his opponents almost like strike has become instinctive to him.

In my opinion the UFC needs to take a few things in to consideration before picking what super fight they are going to go with. The first thing is that GSP moving up to 185 will be totally new waters & it may not be fair to put GSP in the position of a title fight of the go; I personally feel he should get a few warm up fights against some top guys at 185 to adjust kind of the same way Silva did get an instant title fight. If go with Silva Vs Jones, they will not being doing anything that is over dramatic; fighting at 205 is nothing new to Anderson and a title fight wouldn’t be a far hop for him considering he already clowned on a former 205lbs champion.
