1st again.would be a good fight.i ick the spider as the victor

Anderson Silva is a badass! This would be an awesome fight, but someone will drop Silva sooner or later….it ALWAYS happens, its inevitible….a year ago, would anyone believe that Chuck would lose to Jardine?

I dunno who would win this fight.

Both are superior fighters.. I dunno this is a dream match though. Maybe if Wanderlei becomes a champion, and Anderson is still the champ, we will see Champion vs. Champion.

good fight for Anderson bad fight for Wandy :(
Anderson is just too accurate and will pick Wandy apart as he comes bum-rushing in with wide looping punches.

Wow, this would be a huge fight if it ever happens.

Silva would win, guaranteed.

theyre both silva so no duh…
Vanderlai has got power.
Anderson -Accuracy

totally agree… that fight would have to go to the ground for Silva to lose.

i would definitly pay for this fight. i would pick anderson by ko

anderson silva is sickk!!!! he knows the business and realizes the fact that it’s business first and he’ll fight anybody…unlike tito who avoided chuck for so long…rashad and KJ all in love n stuff etc. etc…

I dunno who would win this fight.

WOW

that could be AWESOME!!!

Silva vs. Silva
Former Chute Boxe vs. Former Chute Boxe.. haha cool!

dang that fight would be soooo kickass!

i would have to put that on my #1 spot of Dream Matches. :D

theyre both silva so no duh…
Vanderlai has got power.
Anderson -Accuracy

uhhmmm. it was a JOKE

Silva said that he fought at Middleweight (Light-Heavyweight) at Pride. I think if this fight ever came to fruition that The Spider has one hell of a chance to win, another dream fight!

Way to state the obvious bud. Good joke Nathan.

The middle weight division is thin as a stripper’s g-string. Is there a reason why the UFC doesn’t put on more catch weight fights? I’m all for fighters in there respective divisions being ranked and earning their shot. But think of the kind of card where an Anderson Silva vs. Wandi fighting at 195 would be?

How about St. Pierre vs. Rich Franklin at 177.5?
Vera vs. Liddell at 215?

And the list can go on..and on..and on…

wishful thinking…..exactly….cause you’re dreaming if you actually think that this would happen….
would be incredible though :-)

I dont think anyone can comment on this fight until we see Wanderlei on New Years. Depends how he comes out after a long rest to make judgements on their current form.

The Spida wins all of his fights before he enters the octagon. He intimidates everyone he fights. This is one thing he would NOT have over Wanderlei.

Would love to see it.

PS Dana White should give Anderson a crack at Rampage – be nice to see how the Spida goes

what a wicked fight that would be , hell yeah man , i think anderson would win via ko rd 2, hope it happens

The fact that Silva has to start looking around for top opponents in other weight classes (Hughes, Wanderlei) is amazing. Until someone at least makes it to a decision against him, all that need be said is (ala Bruce Buffer):

Annnndersonnnnn SILLLLLLllllllvaaaaaaaaa

sounds like a bad match for the spider, common sense says the axe murderer finishes it quick – the clinch wont work here, strength will

Anderson Silva is a badass! This would be an awesome fight, but someone will drop Silva sooner or later….it ALWAYS happens, its inevitible….a year ago, would anyone believe that Chuck would lose to Jardine?

Quite right, The Spider is awsome but someone will come along soon enough and make him look human just like it happened to Belfort, Tito, Arlovski, Chuck etc.

Think like others tho that Anderson would out strike Wandy in the battle of the Silva’s.

good fight for Anderson bad fight for Wandy :(
Anderson is just too accurate and will pick Wandy apart as he comes bum-rushing in with wide looping punches.

this is why i think Liddell will beat Wady. Wandy will rush in and Chuck will catch him. That’s how Chuck wins almost all his fights. he waits for his opponent to charge at him. Notice how rampage and jardine were more defensive. at one point in the rampage fight, rampage actually had to signal to liddell to fight, as liddell was just waiting for rampage to charge at him.

I dunno who would win this fight.

Both are superior fighters.. I dunno this is a dream match though. Maybe if Wanderlei becomes a champion, and Anderson is still the champ, we will see Champion vs. Champion.

..I don’t see them fighting eachother even if both were champions of their divisions..if they were both fighting in the same weight..and both the number 1 and 2 guy..then yeah.I can see it.

Would this fight really happen even if Wanderlai Silva lost to Liddell? He would then have 3 straight losses , while Anderson Silva has more than enough consecutive wins as a champion.

theyre both silva so no duh…
Vanderlai has got power.
Anderson -Accuracy

I think Anderson has the ko power as well. Maybe not as much as Wandy, but I think Anderson power behind is accuracy would win him the fight. Thosd big looping punches just leave to much opportunity, for Anderson. I think the same scenario will hold true in the Liddell-Silva fight. As long as neither Anderson or Liddell get sloppy and keep their guard up, I think their styles have the upper hand.

I think Anderson maybe the only fighter that could legitmatly cut through the 170#(with the exception of possible difficulty with GSP) and the majority of the 205# class. I could see it now, “Anderson Silva the Greatest middle, welter, and Light Heavyweight Champion of the World!” Wow, go Spider!

If he goes a few more fights without a defeat then it would be in Dana’s best interest to make fights at catch-weights or nudge Silva to move up a weight class (something I think he would maybe struggle at due to his build)……

Wishful….wishful thinkin but what a fight Silva vs Silva would be.

totally agree… that fight would have to go to the ground for Silva to lose.

Actually, I think anderson is much better on the ground than Wanderlei.

this is why i think Liddell will beat Wady. Wandy will rush in and Chuck will catch him. That’s how Chuck wins almost all his fights. he waits for his opponent to charge at him. Notice how rampage and jardine were more defensive. at one point in the rampage fight, rampage actually had to signal to liddell to fight, as liddell was just waiting for rampage to charge at him.

Wanderlei has been training with Couture, and I am sure Randy has talked to wanderlei about that. Randy is the man with the master game plan, and Silva comming off of 2 losses, will fight a more controlled fight, picking and choosing when to explode on Liddell’s ass. If wandy cateches chuck in that Tai clinch….. Night Night Iceman!

I am a huge anderson silva fan. I believe he would do great at 170 but 205 not to sure how good his chin is, and at 205 we would find out how good that chin of his really is !

he has to get by dan the man first which wont be easy at all!!!!!! However i agree that strength would play a big part, however anderson is so accurate with his strikes its scary, would be fun to see tho!!

Silva is a freaking monster. Until someone beats him, I will never beat against him again. Silva by submission in round 2.

so anderson silva use to fight at 205 in pride?

so anderson silva use to fight at 205 in pride?

No….never happened in Pride

Damn…I miss PRIDE Fc: I miss the educated Japanease audience in contrast to us ignorant American who boo fighters if they stand still for 2 seconds. I miss the opening ceramonies, I miss the soccer Kicks, flying head stomps, the crazy announcers (the kool ass Japanease dude with the shades, Mohawk and shinny suites, and the crazy Japanease lady who sounds like a witch while announcing. I miss the tournaments. I miss 10 minute round. I miss the scoring system (judging the fight as a whole, instead of like boxing). Damn I miss the hell out of PRIDE.

Ok sorry guys, I am back now…. Just a bad case of nostalgia

I think Anderson silva would pick up the decision here.. He’s just on a huge roll and got mean momentum.

He’s just on a huge roll and got mean momentum.

I know, but look what happened with Chuck and GSP after their streaks. Anything can happen.

True True

chute box vs. chute box. would love to see this fight

i miss pride too…

Easy win for A. Silva. Wild strikers like W. Silva are fodder for Anderson. I read a stat that A. Silva averages a 70% strike completion percentage per fight. Most MMA fighters average about 35%. All fighters against Silva average 24%.

In short, he doesn’t get hit and hits his opponent more often than not. Bad matchup for Wandy, and a short striker is the last guy who can beat Anderson. Look at how much trouble Wandy had getting inside the reach of Chuck. This is double trouble b/c Anderson adds the clinch, knees and kicks to that equation, whereas Chuck is mostly a puncher now.
