I would love to see that fight!! Although GSP would be a bit smaller...Silva walks around at like 215

Silva/Machida is the fight I want to see. Silva is too much for GSP. I like George, but that's too big of a step up for him. (IMO)

I'd like to see him fight some 185 fighters though. I think some of the guys Anderson has destroyed would give him fits. Henderson, Franklin, and Alves for instance. What makes Anderson special is his stand-up... Which GSP doesn't really have in comparison to the guys I just mentioned. And he's not big enough to manhandle them either. I think those would be some good fights.

Agreed. However GSP is no slouch in his stand up either. Silva is well like a spider haha. He has loooong legs and if he gets you in the clinch your done for. I would like to see GSP vs. Franklin. I just want to GSP move up to 185. He is destroying everyone in his class.

I want to see him fight Hendo, which Dana supposedly said would be the next fight to happen. Hendo already has quotes out saying that he wants to beat the trash out of him. I hope he does.

As for Silva putting his hands out, I'm not sure. Probably some kind of weird taunting crap. Personally I think he could be a little more classy.

I don't think Silva was taunting, he was just excited to be in a fight with someone that would come forward on him and not run away.

It was taunting, he put out his hands to mock him and act like he would help Forrest up. Forrest definitely didn't look like himself. When he threw his last punch before falling to the ground and giving in it didn't even look right. He threw the punch and just fell over after missing Silva.
