I’m not going to say they are better, because that’s a silly discussion. But both volk and usman feel directly derived from GSP’s tactics and styles with their own twists and adjustments. It’s crazy, because many years later it seems to still be incredibly effective.
Never thought of Volk and GSp but i see it now
for any well rounded fighters u can say they are GSP 2.0 with this logic ...
Yeah it’s like this aggressive smothering wrestling base, but then they can also back it up, and make you stand if they want to like he did vs Holloway. The key difference is some of GSPs techniques were a bit more evolved and Volk is a tad more physical IMO.
Yeah Ronin was a better sub artist, but when i see Bensons scrbles i cant help but see Newton. Agree with Nog being more of a boxer jj guy, but him and Doom kinda resemble each other for being these really big and durable brazilian submission aces who bring striking to the table. Doom one upd Nog by adding knees and clinch work to the equation.
To be honest I don’t think we’ve seen enough of gane at this point to be able to really dissect and evaluate him. But I am with you, I think he’s superbly talented and I can’t wait to see where his career goes.
Remembering the Max fight, it played alot like GSP vs Diaz and Condit if i recall correctly. With the lengthy volume striker being smothered and then tagged on the feet.
added MT but doesnt have his boxin´, so there´s no real quantitative evolution.
I have seen enough. He might not be GSP 2.0, but he can be a GSP 0.5 in the HW division. It is more than enough to become the champ or at least a solid top 5 in this division.
I see Gane as a new version of Econoreem. Not the destructive force that was Ubereem, but the older more calculated in his approach Alistair.
Hes more of a wannabe. He got exposed for being Anderoid lite.
Ubereem is a mythical creature, we'll never see another specimen like him.
