It sounds like they're going to do a rematch in all likelihood if things go as planned. Sucks for Glover. I don't think Gus does as well next time.

Was thinkin the same, if its an immediate rematch i dont think Gus will do well as wont have that shock value on the game plan. Would be better for Gus for Glover to face Jones. And let Gus get a nice break and more time to train and improve game, come with a weapon/game plan.

Last night Gus made me a liar and I don't see why he couldn't do just as good or better in a re-match

GSP should be ahead of Silva. Take out Mendes and put either Hendricks or Bendo. Other than that, good list.

GSP should be ahead of Silva..

why? gsp hasnt finished any top ww of his era or this one.Dont let than fanboyism cloud your judgement. Needing the judges to call the winner in just about all your fights isnt how u gauge no1 on the p4p list in mma

I don't think Mir will fight Reem. Just putting that out there.

Why not? Mir is not the type to turn down fights.

GSP has been undefeated for close to 7 years in the arguably the toughest and deepest division in MMA. While, Silva is coming off a devastating loss. My fanboyism? I'm more of a Silva fan.. I guess the 90%+ of media who have GSP ahead of Anderson are fanboys as well. Come on breh. You need to stop your blind hate for GSP.

Finishing fights are not a necessity in P4P rankings. They help a fighter's cause, but are not needed.

I hear this all the time but its hogwash, its like ppl only say it cuz its champion cant finish anybody

I dont need to know what 90% of the media opinions are because this was the same media that demanded sonnen have an immediate rematch despite getting subbed by the champ silva.

Its that kind of rationale amongst so called fans that makes mma such a backwards sport.This aint boxing breh those rules do not apply here..How can you call a dude the p4p best when all his fights need to be called by judges? what sort of fighter has such superior wrestling advantage over his weightclass but has never beaten a ww via gnp?

Trivial and irrelevant point. My argument still stands.

I dont need to know what 90% of the media opinions are because this was the same media that demanded sonnen have an immediate rematch despite getting subbed by the champ silva.

Even the vast majority of MMA fighters believe that GSP is ahead of Anderson in the P4P rankings. So, we pretty much have most of the fans, fighters, and media all sharing the same stance. So I guess everybody is just a GSP fanboy.

That's literally the only point you're making, 'he doesn't finish fights'. Which is a very weak one at that. While on the other hand, my argument consists of:
1. He's been undefeated in close to 7 years.
2. He has the most top 5 ranked wins in all of MMA.
3. Fighting in probably the toughest and deepest division in MMA.
4. Second most title defenses in UFC history.

 

[The Infamous]

His argument was god-awful and made little sense.

Do you even watch fights? You sound like an absolute clown fixated on fanboyism everytime you post. Your logic against GSP is idiotic. So I guess in your opinion Mayweather isn't the best p4p fighter either because he doesn't finish anyone?
