GSP excels in two areas that Anderson does not, takedown defense and takedown ability. Anderson seems content to let his opponent decide if the fight goes to the ground or stays standing. He's just so confident in his BJJ and Muay Thai and he should be. GSP has the ability to put you where he wants you or keep you where you don't want to be. He's very sound in all aspects of the game. i do think that Silva is a better striker and his BJJ is better, but GSP can do it all at a level that exceeds just being good. If it was'nt for that loss to Serra i think GSP would be the #1 pound for pound fighter in the world.
