    The only thing Silva has on him on the ground is size and strength. His striking is also better, but I think GSP would be able to get him down whenever. I just don't know if he'll be abe to hold him there like he has with the WW's.

    But the real question is can GSP put on enough weight? He doesn't appear to have a body type that could easily add weight.

    agreed on that.. dana has talked about a catchweight?

    and as for mamba's concern.. gsp trains with keith jardine.. rashard evans.. so i dont really see why he won't be able to hold silva down.. silva as well hasnt really been tested on the ground other then henderson.. which i would love to see a rematch btw.. hendo and silva.. make it happen!

    If Hendo hunts with his right and ignores his wrestling he's toast again though. I think he's smart enough to strike to set up his takedowns.
