CVnU: Immortal Kombat One
@Mr_LeBeau:
A thing to observe in the triangle between nick/carlos/george is that nick's syle is almost tailor made to beat 'GSP' carlos beat nick with his textbook mma style, which got nulled by GSP. Oh and my bad for the typo, I meant condit changed his style in the UFC, the moment condit pulled a 'guida' (thanks greg) everything went out of the water. similar to how condit say he is gonna stand and exchange (case in point dan hardy vs anthony johnson, when john said that he will stand and bang. sunnuva bitch LnP'd for the whole time).
@Regal_Rumble_Man: You think Diaz's style is tailored made to beat GSP? Maybe. I think the prototype/ideal style to defeat GSP is Rashad Evans/Jon Jones type style (not literally them just their styles). Great wrestling background, as athletic if not more so, unorthodox, great take down defense, good striking, versed in submissions. Diaz has a good mix of striking and submissions but he isnt strong enough in my opinion to defeat GSP. He'd get taken down and elbowed the F out real quick.
You lost me with the rest as I'm not exactly sure what you're saying.
@Mr_LeBeau: Condit lost against gsp because of his style, nick has superb striking and good bjj by virtue of caesar gracie. Plus the fun fact that GSP has never been that pissed his whole life, trying to make way so that he can personally whoop nick's ass. Something that might make him ditch the gameplan and go into a striking match with nick. The closest thing to a jones at their weight would be a Weidman .
Jones yes (unique)
Rashad no (textbook)
@Regal_Rumble_Man: Good striking and submission (both of which I mentioned in my previous post lol) arent the style/technique that give GSP problems. Never has. Being overpowered and out wrestled has caused problems in the past. We could speculate all day on whether or not GSP would abandoned his gameplan do to an emotional laps (though there isnt much to support it). There really is no Jones or even Evans for that matter in GSP's division. Which is why everyone wants to see him fight Silva but Silva has garbage take down defense.
Rashad is to athletic to be textbook. Is he as unique as Jones, nope. Is he textbook though? I wouldnt say that either. His speed by virtue makes him unique.
@Impero: Goddamn the Vine is running slow, has been for me for a couple days now -_-
Its about whether or not GSP could beat Silva. Three of us say yeah, Rumble is putting forth a decent counter argument. Decent I say, not convincing however :P Its sort of migrated towards which style/technique is best suited to beat GSP.
I think we should just agree they're both beautiful, talented men and hope there's as little damage to both as possible.
@Mr_LeBeau: For you too huh?
Ah I see. Well I'm not saying that GSP is greater than the Holy MMA Lord Silva, but I think he could beat him. Mainly because, we've seen how Silva handles wrestling (Chael Sonnen is the best example). I think we all know GSP is miles ahead of Sonnen as far as his grappling talent goes. There's a lot more I'd add but I won't until someone calls me out ;)
ROUND ONE!
Legion vs Masquerade
Arquitenens vs Mr.LeBeau

Alrighties, did I miss anyone? If so post here and let me know!
When you're ready to begin post here, once ONE of you posts I'll create the OP for your fight.
The rounds were generated by http://www.random.org/ which is the most fair way I know to do it.
Good luck everyone!
@Impero: Pretty much my thoughts exactly. GSP's greatest strength appears to be Silva's greatest weakness. On side note, I use to like Chael, I mean the dude cracks me up. He can verbally dismantle anyone. But I'm not a fan of how he gets title shots just cause he talks sh!t.
@Amaranth_Strix: post ;P poor blonde girl.
@Mr_LeBeau: No doubt man, no doubt. For real though, I want to see Silva fight Jones more than GSP. Jones is bigger and his wrestling would give Silva hell. I hope he fights Jones eventually, I don't want this turning into some Pacquiao-Mayweather type sh*t LOL. I love Sonnen ;) loved watching him call out Jones haha. That I agree with, I don't like how he gets his title shots, I want him to earn it.
@Impero: I dont know man, I'm all onboard that Jones bandwagon lol. I dont think Silva would stand a chance against him. His so long and unorthodox, comes at people with crazy angles and sh!t. I get the feeling he's not right in the head. He's like some idiot savant lmao I dont know why but he has that Diago Sanchez weirdness about him.
@Mr_LeBeau: I know Jones would beat Silva, why else would Silva be ducking him so much :P those knee kicks are f'n brutal. Jones always struck me as a weirdo LOL, a weirdo that can lay some memorable ass whooping. Its just some of the things he does and says that make me go "Yeah, this son's head is not alright".
@Impero said:

Right? Thats what I'm sayin. Like in a crowd you can tell he's hella awkward. The type of awkward that makes you feel awkward for having seen it lol. But in the cage he's some sort of Rainman. "Jon, how many punches did you throw that round Jon?" "67.....67 punches I threw, 67 yeah. Yeah it was 67 cause I remember I was going to throw 68 but I only threw 67 instead. 67 punches"
And you stop picking on Johnny! He saved a woman once!
@Mr_LeBeau: He's crazy LOL. I mean, when it came out that he reportedly asked Dana to get Sonnen to stop with the verbal dissing, I was like "What? Come on now", I mean, he's a grown ass man. Then there's the whole thing about destroying an entire UFC event and then offering to pay (out of kindness) all the fighters scheduled to appear then suddenly decided not to because everyone was pissed at him? He's just... weird. Not taking away his talent but he's one strange mofo.
@Arquitenens:
@Impero: smh I dont blame him for not taking the initial Chael fight, that was some bullsh!t. But yeah he's in his own bubble.
@Arquitenens: (its up. Do you wanna go first or would you like me to?)
@Akira Overdrive: Right? I could see Ozy under the Zemo mask lol
