this is complete crap...Im as big a GSP fan as they come and Hendricks has more than a legit shot to beat GSP especially in the first 2 rounds when he's fresh. But, if he gets taken down at all in rounds 1 or 2...its over. GSP will take too much outta him on the ground.

I completely disagree. I think Hendricks and Ellenberger have the edge on GSP.

Lol at people claiming GSP has better wreslting, not even close. Even in MMA. Look at their common opponent in Condit, Hendricks took him down much easier than GSP did.

I think 1 or 2 power shots from Hendricks would KO GSP.

- GSPs superior reach advantage will allow him to do his jab and step out of Hendrick's KO range.

- Once GSP gets hendricks to the ground, there's literally NOTHING hendricks can do to stop him.

- GSP has superior grappling and wrestling

Basically Hendricks is relying on one punch knockout power and against GSP who's a smart and calculated fighter, that's not going to really do him any good. I think the biggest threats to GSP right now in WW are Maia, Rory and Ellenberger.

What do you guys think?
You fail. Stop posting. You think wrestling is only on the feet?
