Maybe they could do a catchweight fight or something (not sure if UFC does that). I doubt you'll ever see any fight between the two but that's one I would really enjoy if there was enough preparation time for both fighters.
They do catchweight fights. In my opinion, GSP needs to move up, but make it a gradual transition. Let him get a few easier fights out of the way while he adjusts to his new weight, and then have him duke it out with Silva when he's comfortable.
