At the top of the mountain in the UFC, there stand two men far above the rest. Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre have changed the sport of mixed martial arts forever. They helped to usher in an era of dominance in the middleweight and welterweight divisions, respectively.

Silva would clearly defeat GSP if the match were to take place, and here’s why.
