GSP will go down as the greatest of all time.

[Cooliox]

GSP had no weaknesses.

33 straight rounds he won against elite competition, up till he got blinded in 1 eye by Shields.

Utter dominance.

If Dana wasn't so butthurt bout having to drop an extra $10million each year for drug testing, courtesy of GSP and the anti-drugs movement GSP spearheaded... then GSP would be coming back and wearing the title right now and no one is going to be able to stop him.

For now, politics will keep the GOAT out of the cage... cause apparently the UFC would have to invest a gazillion to reintroduce the GOAT back to the audience (lol stfu Dana).

I do personally enjoy how people now try to spin it to look like GSP was ducking drug testing.

It's laughable at best.

Didn't he lose to Big Foot?

Wasn't he KOed into oblivion by Dan "185" Henderson?

GSP was KOd by Matt Serra for fuck sake.
I don't even disagrer with this thread, GSP is one of the best ever, but it isn't a clear thing by any means

His Height and Reach means he should fight at heavyweight. GSP is 5'10. There are featherweights taller than him.

height and reach means he should fight at heavyweight? no his results at LHW means he should fight at LHW. DC is 5'11. there are featherweights with his height.

No, every metric and statistical analysis has GSP #1

idk in what world GOAT is decided by "metrics" and "statistical analysis" instead of their actual in-cage skills. arbitrary shit like # of title defenses is a simple-minded way of looking at it. hell ronda had what, 6 defenses? that doesnt mean shes better than someone like RDA or rockhold

 

[mungos]

One of The..not The.

 

[Workaholic]

best ever by far

 

[the fight game]

Aliens.

 

[mastodon06]

The one true Goat does not get submitted, nor does he tap to strikes. This is what separates Jones from the lesser goats.

 

[Psychedelic]

McGregor is the greatest of all time.

 

[NuMe]

Fedor and GSP for me. Can't decide.

 

[FreddyFingers]

Disagree.

Stats don't lie

Most top 10 wins in UFC history
Most top 5 wins in UFC history
Most title wins in UFC history
2nd most title defenses in UFC history (retired champion or we'd still be talking about this)
Owns 3 of the top 10 lopsided decisions in UFC history (Fitch, Alves, Hardy)
Avenged every loss on his record in dominant fashion

Only two people come close to GSP's greatness. Anderson and Jon Jones.

Both were busted for PED's and one of them is 0-4-1 in his last 5 fights

^^^ The truth.
