Prime for prime no question Silva > Machida career-wise. Machida was undefeated crushing cans while Silva was getting flying heel hooked and triangle choked by undersized cans.
N gsp tapped to strikes vs 9-4 lw joureyman...

Chael looked far superior in losing to Weidman than Silva did. Machida actually fought Jones instead of "ducking him" since that's what you guys call it with GSP so we will call it the same with Silva.
[/QUOTE]
Wasn’t aware Chael n weidman fought?!? When was that?
Also you continue comparing apples n oranges.
Jones never called out Anderson
Jones wasn’t as big of a name as gsp
He didn’t dominate his division like Anderson n gsp did
They didn’t come around same time
Superfight to make at that time was Anderson vs gsp
Fans wanted it
Ufc wanted it
Anderson wanted it
There’s only one reason that fight didn’t happen.
Machida and Silva were the same size.... One fought in a weight class with far superior fighters and 20 LBS heavier.
.
Not true.
On many occasions Anderson would come in 2 or 3 pounds under 185 limit.
This fake narrative that Anderson was a big mw comes from gsp nuthuggers trying to justify gsp ducking.
This is so much silliness. You certainly have a way of twisting things to suit your narrative.
.
That what gsp nuthuggers do...
GSP ducked Silva as much as Silva ducked Jones. They didn't duck either because they're not in the same weight class and have no obligation to move up.
.
Again with your fake gsp nuthugger narrative to justify gsp ducking...
Everybody wanted to see Anderson vs gsp superfight n that would pretty much determine who’s p4p best fighter in the world.
They pretty much beat everybody in their divisions, defended their titles many times n There’s was nothing for them left to do.
Fans, ufc n Anderson wanted that fight.
Gsp didn’t wanted it n came up with excuse after excuse.
On the other hand jones never called out Anderson, he said he considered him his idol, Anderson considered him his friend n that was pretty much it. The buzz for this fight never came as close as Anderson vs gsp.
Silva calling for GSP to come fight him at 185, among other many silly callouts (mcgregor ffs), dude was just as good at trying to "cherrypick" as GSP was but at least I can admit things a fighter I like has done.
44 year old Anderson called out McGregor after McGregor said his dream fight would be vs Anderson.
On the other hand gsp was talking about stock market nonsense n tried to get a fight with career lw gatekeeper in Nate Diaz...
Can’t get more pathetic than that.
So stop deflecting n just admit gsp ducked Silva n move on
