If you followed MMA closely from ~2010-late 2012 you know that GSP was ducking Anderson. Neither of their divisions were competitive over that period and people were calling for that fight. GSP was always like, "I don't know, I'd have to take time off to bulk up and once I go up, I won't go back down." OK buddy.

I hope they don't do McG/GSP though. I do not want to see GSP fighting smaller dudes. That fight has little appeal to me

Khabib vs Tony not being 5 rounds seems criminal. fukk that Wonderboy rematch

Its for the interim belt, its 5 rounds.

The Interim belt is always on the line these days. They might give Lewis one just because.

wonder if Andersons still down

 

[Roman Brady]

GSP vs Diaz would be cool

 

[LinusCaldwell]

Anderson also wanted no part of Shogun when he (Shogun) was the champion. Shogun said he was down to fight Anderson multiple times and Anderson was like

Silva stated several times he doesn't want to fight fellow Brazilians he made an exception to Vitor tho

 

[The Infamous]

That's dumb though.

He also said he wouldn't fight Jacare or Machida, even though both of them said they would be down to fight Anderson.

He said he respected his fellow Brazilians didn't wanna do any of them harm. But he felt he had to make a statement against Vitor because he felt Vitor got the love he never did amongst his people at that time

Very interested to see how Conor does on his TDD against Khabib and how Khabib can eat that left from Conor... Khabib can't fight on the outside... he also has to be careful for Conor's "dead" space trap. I know Conor likes to throw kicks but I think he will keep them real low if he throws them at all he doesn't want to get taken down or leave himself in a position to help Khabib grab a limb and take him down.

We'll see Conor vs GSP before we see him vs either Khabib or Tony.
