I can't name one mma fighter that can kick like he can. Unquestionably the most fun to watch, and in my opinion best p4p in the world.
Anderson Silva best p4p fighter in the World

1. I think GSP is better than Silva.
2. I think Hendo would win best out of 5 matches w/ Silva.
3. While on the subject of Hendo: I think he is a better p4p fighter, seeing as he won the title in the LHW division where guys had 30+ pounds on him.
4. I think Lutter would win 1-2 fights if he went best of 5 w/ Silva. Lutter could have won the fight against Silva had he not given up mount by going for a poor armbar.
5. A. Silva is definitely a great fighter who can end any fight quickly, sending the other fighter to the facial surgeon. He is just not top p4p fighter IMO. That is just the UFC's marketing TP's for right now.

GSP and Anderson Silva have similar dominating performances against a similar caliber of fighters. The biggest difference I see when rating GSP and Silva is most recent performances. GSP was TKO'd by Serra and lost his belt. Silva keeps dominating everyone put in front of him and still holds his middleweight belt. The supposed near loss to Lutter, who didn't even make weight for the fight, isn't as much a blemish as getting TKO'd by Serra. That puts Silva higher in the P4P ratings.
Perhaps Hendo could take a best of 5 series with Silva, but that is pure speculation. What is known is that Hendo is 0-1 against Silva.
Item 3 places Silva even further up the P4P chart as he beat Hendo, hence he beat a guy who competes at Light-heavy (more pounds for the P4P formula). We have yet to see GSP beat a middleweight and he lost to a guy who usually competes at lightweight (Serra).
Hendo did not routinely defeat men 30+ lbs. larger than him in the Pride middleweight division. He defeated men that may have had at max 15 pounds on him. If he competed in Pride's middleweight division as a welterweight he would have weighed in at 185. A 30 lb. difference would put his competition at 215 lbs which is heavyweight. The only 30+ lbs. difference fight he competed in was vs. Big Nog and Hendo lost.

You don't think Rampage had 30 pounds on Hendo? The guy is huge.

Probably not. Hendo and Rampage both weighed in at 204 for their fight according to the UFC scales. Assuming Hendo did not weight cut and Rampage did, Rampage would have to have cut down from 235 to 204, then reconstitute back to 235 within a 24 hour period to have such a vast weight advantage. That is a huge weight cut. Rampage fought hard through 5 rounds, which is not indicative of the stamina drain caused a massive weight cut.
