Young and upcoming gunner vs technical beast in his prime. Who do you got?
I say Silva Rd 2 TKO
Welcome to the forum!
Right now I would take Silva everytime. Mousasi is a very talented fighter with tons of skills and potential. Mousasi might take this in the future, but I would like to see him grow a bit more. He is young and will get better which is scary to think about!

I'd take the 24-year old Mousasi over the 24-year old Spider...LOL. Unless some tragedy occurs, in three years there is not reason that GM should not be #1 P4P in the world. He has a strong boxing/wrestling background and works out with Fedor in terms of Sambo. His striking is fierce and his submission skill set is tremedous. Lastly his makeup is so sick, like Fedor's so stoic.
This would be the toughest fight of Andersons MMA carreer.
I don't see how. Although it was over in round 2 (testimate to how good Anderson is) but Hendo was the perfect fighter to beat Anderson, and is/was an established fighter with multiple wins of other all time great fighters. So I see no reason why coming into the fight it would be Anderson's toughest. Maybe it would be, but I don't see how you can claim that before the fight.

Agreed. Silva would have to sub Mousasi IMO because the dude has never been rocked. And that's after facing guys like Soko, Lombard, Manhoef, etc. Plus his K1 and boxing career.
Mousasi would definitely be the best striker that Silva has faced.

Hendo was 38 and Gegard is 24, different fight and stand up is almost equal I'd say. I think Gegard is underrated.
