GSP moving to MW .. why? He still has to beat Serra, then probably Fitch, and throw in a rematch with Kos in there. If he can take those 3 fights and win decisively, then maybe a jump to MW is needed. There are some challenges in the WW division that GSP needs to take care of well before he jumps to a new class.
Lets not forget that GSP also gives up a 4" height advantage to Silva as well. Not something you want when you go up against a guy that can strike as hard and accurate as Silva.
BTW, I am a huge GSP fan so I am not bashing him. Just my opinion.
Everyone is talking about Silva untouchable at 185lbs. How much sense does it make for his biggest challenge to come from the 170 division? If they want to throw competition at Silva have a smaller 205 fighter cut down to 185lbs or pressure Silva to fight at 205lbs. At 205lbs there is LOTS of competition, unlike Middle Weight.
