Media Prime GSP and prime Matt Hughes at UFC 65 would get KO by Tyron Woodley

Woodley is so overrated now lol he was getting KOd flat by Nate Marquardt when GSP was champ

True GSP had a moment and got caught. However wasn’t Johnny Hendricks knocking people dead and GSP somehow avoided the power.

GSP appears to have a good chin. I don't recall any moment he's been seriously rocked but he's never really been hit with any clean shots on the chin as well. Hendricks had power but Tyron has far more, combined with speed and explosiveness.
 
Tyron got flustered and clowned by the much lesser GSP.

Current Woodley KOs any version of GSP and Hughes.

GSP’s resume is littered with one dimensional fighters and LWs.

Probably, yes.

Tyron is terrible style matchup for GSP.

But, people love GSP and view him as the GOAT..based on his accomplishments he probably is top 2 along with Fedor.

GSP said it himself really though, there Is no GOAT. This is a very new sport relative to other long established sports like boxing and Is evolving extremely fast.

Georges is an amazing fighter but there's a lot of guys from the modern era who would give him a lot of trouble, Tyron is a stylistic nightmare for him.

In terms of accomplishments, reign as a champion and such, It's hard to argue against GSP being the GOAT at welterweight and one of the greatest of all time, however..In terms of skillset vs skillset, I'd personally take Tyron over him pretty comfortably.

He's essentially a better version of Hendricks. Faster, more explosive, more power. Better jiu jitsu. GSP wouldn't be able to take him down and the fight would likely be decided on the feet, Tyron isn't a guy you're just gonna Jab for 5 rounds.

GSP in his prime does not have a terrible style matchup. It doesn’t exist. He could out Outwrestle anybody, and his striking was better than anyone he fought in the division. What this guy is so dangerous to a prime GSP, because he can wrestle and has power in his hands? As if you never faced that before.
 
I bet prime Woodley would loose to Jake Shields.

Oh wait no need to speculate, that actually happened lol.

Gsp > Shields > Twood

GSP is a guy who needs to control the wrestling / grappling..guys he can't do that against he has the most trouble with.

Gap jabs Tyron to death. Tyron isn't some amazing striking. Tyron would be trying to take GSP down. I don't think GSP needs to wrestle at all in that match.

Woodley wasn't fully developed at this point when Rory beat him. His striking wasn't at the same level that it is now. Remember, Woodley has a background in collegiate wrestling before he went into MMA.

The Woodley that Rory jabbed to death isn't the same one that became Champion and destroyed Lawler, the very guy that destroyed Rory twice.

Easily.

He’s improved a lot since his early UFC losses, but I think he’d lose a decision to GSP.

Prime Hughes was just so much stronger than his opponents, it didnt matter that his striking was below average. A prime Hughes could definitely grind out a decision vs Woodley.

Out of boredom, I re-watched GSP's and Hughes' old fights, as well as their championship fights against each other. The one thing that was immediately noticeable was how one-dimensional Matt Hughes was, and how GSP was able to easily dispatched him because GSP was the first well-rounded WW of that era. GSP had excellent scramble, takedown defense, BJJ, and dynamic stand-up striking that kept Hughes constantly guessing the whole time. GSP dictated the fight.

With that said, I do not see GSP and Hughes at UFC 65 (in their primes) being able to beat the current Tyron Woodley.



Woodley has the wrestling, 1-punch KO power, super fast counter striking, excellent takedown / takedown defense, great BJJ, and very high fight IQ. He's pretty much like GSP but with more power and less endurance.

Woodley would KO Hughes within 1 or 2 rounds, and GSP might be able to drag it into the championship rounds, but I don't see him being able to handle Woodley's striking and power.

Oh fuck off with these dumb threads.

You say they would, others say they wouldn't, and we just jerk off back n' forth saying nothing.

GSP defended his title 10 fucken times, Woodley isn't even close.

GSP dominated during he's title reign, Woodley is getting split decisions and draws.

GSP won belts in 2 weight classes, Woodley hasn't and never will.

But ya, let's just ignore all the facts and create a fantasy world where you can make a claim that in some parallel universe if they were all in their primes at the same time, Woodley might win.
 
Woodley would instantly nut standing across the octagon from GSP and lose his legs, thus resulting in GSP head kicking KO him.

GSP wouldn't outwrestle Tyron. Their wrestling would 90% cancel eachother out and the fight would be decided on the feet, similar to against Hendricks and other prominent wrestler vs wrestler matchups.

GSP had a great jab but his boxing / striking isn't anywhere near as good as some believe It to be. That said, neither Is Tyron's. Coming from a boxing backround myself, GSP is very stiff and leaves a lot of holes on the feet to be capitalized upon. A lot of that Is because he came from a karate backround and was initially taught a lot of bad habits that unfortunately became deeply ingrained in his overall style regardless of how much / who he trained boxing with. Guys who he can't control the wrestling / grappling against who can also strike..he will have the most trouble with.

He does have a pretty good chin and he's generally good at avoiding getting hit cleanly, so GSP could very well take it 5. Tyron just doesn't seem like the guy you're going to be able to outpoint for 5 rounds on the feet like that, current / peak tyron at least.

Had GSP come up in the current era though, It'd hard to argue against him. He came up during a time that was still a little rough around the edges and he was one of the first of his kind that demonstrated that level of well roundeness.. which is becoming far more common place these days. As an MMA mind / level of Intelligence..Georges is brilliant, however..the game is / has been evolving rapidly and It's something everyone needs to acknowledge. Even if they're subtle / incremental steps.

Prime (juiced) Hendricks is better than Woodley. And this still happened.

his wrestling was better than Woodley's. Woodley is an infinitely better grappler, more power, more speed and explosiveness and overall fight IQ. He doesn't get enough credit, but the guy is very calculated In what he does..especially over the last few years.

Unfortunately it will be a while before he recovers from the blow that the Wonderboy / maia fights did to his public perception.
