I dont think the weight makes a difference at all.- This isn't BJ Penn fighting 20 pounds heavier. GSP is a natural 175 and Silva came into his last fight at 182. GSP can easily come in at 180 pounds. I dont even think Silva will even show up at 185 to fight GSP, but assuming he does, 5 pounds isn't going to mean jack shit.

I agree totally...I hope this fight is made very soon assuming he beats Alves.but...the longer it takes to make this fight happen the advantage goes to GSP...GSP is getting better and better.Silva will be 35 so he's just getting old.

Actually, if they fight at 185, that's GSPs natural walking around weight.  Anderson would be cutting to that, which means the day of the fight, he would really be around 200.  Regardless of wether it's a catch weight or not, Anderson will have 15 or so pounds over GSP.

I'll still be rooting for GSP though!
