Gsp being at rank 2 on the pound for pound rankings is the final nail in the coffin that the pound for pound rankings mean nothing.
Havent been following the ufc recently due to uninteresting looking cards. But went on the fighter rankings recently and laughed out loud.
Seriously though: George st pierre is not the pound for pound greatest fighter in the world. Neither is Silva. Neither is Emeliananko..they had their time in the sun but now they are not great fighters (compared to the talent we have today). He(gsp) should officially retire while his legacy is still decent. Otherwise some truly "hard to watch" things will happen to him.
He'd be 50/50 against the top middleweights
He'd be favored over Woodley at WW (Justified or not)
He'd be favored at LW against everyone but possibly Khabib.
He is the one example of the ridiculous PFP list that actually tests himself.
He sure cured Bisping's insomnia when he dropped him, bludgeoned him with elbows, and then choked him out. I dunno if you noticed, but it's not 2011 anymore.GSP is the GOAT cure for insomnia.
Seriously there are people with boxercise level standup being called elite fighters, but THIS is what makes people mad?There are women on the p4p list for fucks sake
GSP being number 2 is stupid, but damn....women? Lmfao
GSP is the GOAT cure for insomnia.
Isn't Cody in that shit after getting KTFO in his first tittle defense?
No.
Romero, Jacare, Rockhold, Weidman, Mousasi, Whittaker were all ranked higher. Bisping was fringe top 10.
Careful, the GSP group has been a touchy bunch lately.
I was quoted by a few of them yesterday for saying literally nothing bad about him.
No top 5 win at MW nor WW in many years. Too lazy to look it up but if you want to help GSP by counting the Hendricks fight where he got beat up then it's probably 4-5 years ago since he won against a top 5 opponent.
Last win before that was a decision win over Condit who is 3-10 in his last fight.
“MW champ” Bisping went life and death and arguably lost to 46 year old #13 MW Hendo coming into the GSP fight
GSP is a fraud
He was good in the day but that beating he took off Hendricks ruined his legacy IMO. That was the biggest robbery in UFC history and the fact he retired after proved it, he got out while the going was good.
GSP has the best resume in the history of the sport. He had one of the best title reigns in history. He retired the champ. Then came back and won the title in the weightclass above his.Gsp being at rank 2 on the pound for pound rankings is the final nail in the coffin that the pound for pound rankings mean nothing.
