As a GSP I was a little worried before BJ vs GSP 2

[Kvolcom]

I'm not worried about Khabib at all tbh

That's like the perfect match up for GSP and he's smaller.

So you identify as GSP?

 

[Iron Nick]

Style-wise GSP is a nightmare for Khabib, but let's not forget that St-Pierre is almost 40 years old and has had ACL tears in both knees already.

Whats it like being a GSP ?

Hi GSP

 

[Chicken lips]

I'm a huge GSP fan and I would be nervous as f@$# going into it. Khabib is a monster for anyone. 39 years old coming off another 3 to 4 year layoff .

 

[Thepaintbucket]

I'm just a GSP fan but I won't lie it would be cool to identify as GSP too.

I was worried about that fight

But less so after Watching UFC Primetime and

I realized BJ's camp consisted largely of him chilling with his boys on a beach..

 

[kalabula]

That whole “to the death” line got ya.

 

[gono btw]

Dat 'No Rush' thin´...I didnt mean it, right...

 

[Azure]

Is that more like identifying as a unicorn or an attack helicopter?

There is also the possibility that a massive weight cut like that could drastically affect GSP's cardio, chin, and power in a negative way. Assuming he could even make 155, which is doubtful considering that fact that his last fight was at Middleweight.

Just found this old promo.

Man I miss Hype like this back in 2008 and 2009. Miss it so much..

 

[leatherneck]

is THAT why you kissed BJ on the cheek?

Khabib had career ending back injuries and surgeries, people tend to forget that too.

Tell us about the aliens.

Yeah i agree. Although he would never take that fight if he wasn't sure he couldn't (healthily) make weight. Plus he actually was ~190 pounds when he fought Bisping, so he wasn't really that big (he had severe trouble putting on mass, in fact).

The thing which has me most worried for GSP is the speed difference and the fact that Khabib is generally very hard to hit.
Khabib is a young and in quite few regards quick fighter (good handspeed and good reflexes), i could see GSP struggling with that, because it's obviously harder to land on faster opponents, especially taking the age difference into consideration.

I'm not impressed by his identification tbh.

 

[Iron Nick]

That's true, but to be fair, i don't think Khabib has slowed down or got worse in a way because of these injuries at all, (which i'm happy about).

You can't legally ask that if he does.
