Besides GSP delusional fanbase, is there anyone who thinks he can beat Khabib?

I mean GSP is one of the GOATs, in his prime i think he's one of the few fighters i can think that could actually beat Khabib but... He's 40 years old, had 1 fight in the last 8 years which was at MW and he didn't look good at all, the guy has been basically retired since 2013 and somehow people think it would be competitive for him to comeback and fight a monster like Khabib? Yall telling me that people actually think GSP at age 40 could come back and beat Khabib or even make it competitive? That's hilarious. I understand Khabib side on fighting a legend and idol like GSP but for the fans in general, besides his fans, is there legit anyone here who thinks GSP stands more than a punchers chance against Khabib? I'm just trying to understand why people want see this fight so bad lol

The fact that you didn't also disqualify GSP's haters in the thread title from answering the question you asked only reveals the intent of this thread (to bash GSP).

I'm not a fan of GSP or Nurmagomedov and I think GSP of today would defeat Nurmagomedov.

Lmao i'm a Khabib fan because i think he beats the fuck out of a 40 year old GSP? That's hilarious. I don't give a shit about Khabib. Jones bless your day my son, the one true GOAT.

You're confusing the fights. The only one who was robbed was Hendricks who beat GSP up so bad he had to retire.


Jones makes his opponents tap to strikes

GSP taps to strikes


Cry about it my son.
 
Prime GSP would have been the toughest fight for Khabib and only one I could see beating Khabib at WW or LW other than maybe Usman. Right now I'd say Khabib eats him alive.
 
He didnt look good against Bisping? What? That was the best version of GSP we had seen yet..
<bball1>
 
Can is low hanging fruit. Georges is too skill and polished to count out, he has power, jitz, etc. But at 40yo it takes a lot of faith to consider hil the favorite
 
so wait, at 40 Georges is supposed to be able to beat the most dominant fighter we have ever seen aside from Jon Jones? Didnt Georges get the living shit beat out of him at 32 by a 70% Pig Rigg who never won a fight again after that? Didnt he high tail it out of the sport after that beating and wait 4 years to cherry pick a one eyed cyclops on his last legs? This is the same Georges right? Khabib would never be in any trouble at any time in the fight. I dont think ol Georgie Porgie is going to jab his way out of this one. This isnt punching bag Kos or Dan .500 Hardy.

You didn't refer to the style matchup whatsoever. We've never seen GSP ragdolled like Khabib typically does to people. I personally can't picture it happening. Not difficult to predict GSP to keep it standing and win on the feet. Not a big GSP fan but stylistically Khabib hasn't faced anyone like him.

And you're arguing dishonestly like most do. It's genuinely hilarious, is it?

it has been hysterical to watch GSP fans talk about this fight like they are talking about a Prime GSP show up. They actually think a guy that has had 1 fight in 8 years would have this great gameplan and would mix takedowns and punches to defeat a monster like Khabib right now. This is great comedy.

yeah i mean imagine thinking a 40 year old fighter with 1 fight in 8 years would come back and beat one of the most dominant fighters of all time in his prime.
 
GSP is never making lw, and never did. He is a very big guy.

At WW I think GSP will win, even if past his prime. Khabibs biggest strength is that he is heavy and strong. I dont see him overpower GSP. 50-45 GSP in a fight that is mostly on the feet.
 
I love GSP, but let's be honest... Khabib wants to fight him bc it's an easy fight that will add to his "legacy"

He doesn't want to fight GSP for the challenge, he just wants to own a W over him to justify "GOAT status"

If he wanted a real challenge he'd move up to WW, not pick a fight with wayyyyyy past his prime GSP
 
Not in his fanbase, fully believe GSP even today ragdolls Khabib.

Would that be a horrendous thing to admit, or would it be realistic? Why do you say it like it's a bad thing? GSP to me seems to be one of the best thinkers of the game. He's before my time, but I've learned about all there is to know about him.

I think he went out on top, and should stay that way. Taking a fight against Khabib would be about the coolest thing ever. But, he is well past his prime, and recognizes it. The UFC screwed this fight when it made sense. Now it makes no sense.

Let sleeping GOAT candidates lie.

Not at all a bad thing to me, it shows how smart GSP is, because he's preserving his health and business by not fighting. He doesn't need to prove anything to anybody.
