GSP weighed in as light as 167lbs for title fights. He was a small WW

Sounds like a dream fight stylistically.

It really is, as I was writing that I was thinking how good it would be to see GSP vs DJ, Cruz, TJ and Edgar if they were similar sizes

Photo evidence right there. He also brought in USADA and underwent the best testing regime in UFC history for his fight against Hendricks. GSP is all skill, all natural.

Ali Sonoma was an underrated ring girl.

The sun, and shade make the picture a little strange. But, from what I remember.

Yeah.

The reading fluctuates as fighters move on the scale. That's why they're told to stand still when weighing in. He weighed 169.5 for that event (UFC 69), not 167.

Besides, weight =/= size...

GSP has the height of a Lightweight, the reach of a Light Heavyweight, and while he was heavy for a WW back then, he has a pretty normal weight now for that division (185-190).

 

[ncboy]

wouldn't say small... average. Not sure he could cut to 155 at 36.

Hes also now had three years of bulking up, getting older, living a little more relaxed life, and going down on black women....which studies have shown is 2% more fattening then the light version.

He may well be larger now, but until we see him on a scale, its just pictures.

GSP is a mid-sized WW, not small, not big. He usually weighed around 185 lbs inside the cage, a bit more against Shields (he was closer to 192 lbs against Shields).

Was wondering where those extra pounds were coming from

GSP vs McGregor for the Lightweight Title would make all the money.

 

[Maroli]

he was big for the division when he started, as hughes was considered big at the time. he's average now.

 

[Lemmy]

And that's featherweight mcgregor

FW McG was a mythological animal that ancient people were used to summon only two, max three times a year and just for a couple of hours in a complex ritual called "weigh ins".
the magic is lost and he is no more.

If you actually look at the weigh-in footage from that event they clearly state his weight as 169.5. The weight is lower on the picture you posted because the scale isn't settled, he has either just stepped up on it or he is about to step off it.

This is correct, but it's worth noting that fighters seem to just get bigger and bigger in respect to their weight classes as people cut weight better or wise up to the benefit. Even the guy Koscheck fought, who wasn't amazing, looked massive and used to fight at 185.

 

[TUFNewb]

he didn't bring in USADA, he ran away from it.

He also was only randomly tested 1 time in his entire career.

He would nevber make 155lbs, because he can't, and also he knows he would get KO'ed by Conor.

GSP ran away from USADA 20 months before USADA was implemented? GSP must be fucking psychic!! Either that or you are a fool. One of the two.

He was tested 4 times by USADA in the last year. He passed a series of random tests for his final fight. So yeah.. more than "one time".

Not sure about GSP making LW especially at 35 or whatever, but GSP would embarrass Conor if they fought. It would look like a little kid trying to fight his dad.
