Bring on GSP. GOAT vs GOAT

[treestump]

Not a chance. Khabib would pulverize him

 

[kaya]

Nope. Georges is way too old now. Tbh I think Khabib beats prime Georges also.

Nah -- Prime George (who wouldn't have made it down to 155) would have beating Khabib for sure.

Khabib is not taking George down or submitting him. George wins the standup fight.

 

[Fesaine]

GSP assuming he's in good shape and can fight like he did while defending the belt spanks Khabib. UD, but pretty clear.

gsp couldn't spank jake shield. khabib would take him down and pound his face off.

 

[EVIL WAR GOD]

I don’t know what kind of GSP would show up but I would assumed he’s far from prime so I’m not that interested.

 

[Portland8242]

GSP in his prime smokes Khabib

Old man 40 year old GSP doesn't even last a round.

 

[AndersonSilva23]

GSP is way passed his prime and would get mauled.

Prime vs Prime would be epic, would give the edge to GSP.

 

[kaya]

Not a chance.

GSP is insanely skilled and MUCH MUCH stronger than anyone Khabib has fought.

Cormier used to talk about GSP taking down heavyweights at will etc.

 

[Grapplefest]

He'd triangle GSP at 155/165

 

[GoatArtemLobov]

I give prime GSP 70% of winning chance
And today's GSP 40%

I'm 100% sure Khabib can't take down Prime GSP. GSP took down 200+ D1 wrestlers, while Khabib struggled with Justin.
Moreover, Khabib has good striking (through unorthodox) but GSP's jab and kicks would be too much for him, in addition to being significantly smaller and outreached by GSP.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Gsp has reach and jab, but khabib would break him

He's a better fighter for sure than gsp

 

[Krixes]

It would've been great to see, GSP is almost 40 so I'd favor Khabib.

 

[5thDimensionMMA]

Not a chance.

GSP is insanely skilled and MUCH MUCH stronger than anyone Khabib has fought.

Cormier used to talk about GSP taking down heavyweights at will etc.

You would be surprised , they are about the same size actually .Matt Hughes tapped gsp...now think of what Khabib would do .

 

[Mamou]

Not a chance.

GSP is insanely skilled and MUCH MUCH stronger than anyone Khabib has fought.

Cormier used to talk about GSP taking down heavyweights at will etc.

Was this the 40 year old GSP that has never fought at 155 in his life that Cormier was talking about?

 

[tenniswhiz]

Not a chance.

GSP is insanely skilled and MUCH MUCH stronger than anyone Khabib has fought.

Cormier used to talk about GSP taking down heavyweights at will etc.

Cormier also said that nobody at AKA could hang with Khabib on the mat.

At EQUAL weight, Khabib would destroy GSP.

 

[smooth assassin]

I think right now yes, I think even both in their prime Khabib would edge him

 

[Nightgunner05]

GSP 50-45

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Khabib would have to deal with that jab.

And GSP would be content to just jab for 25 minutes.

 

[BooBoyMan]

At this point, 155 or 170, I think Khabib either decisions or submits him. Prime GSP at 155 would decision prime Khabib IMO, but it'd be very competitive.

 

[ExitLUPin]

GSP is 40yo and never made 155 before

only casuals are interested in this fight

 

[cmw43]

Cormier also said that nobody at AKA could hang with Khabib on the mat.

At EQUAL weight, Khabib would destroy GSP.

Nobody at Khabib's weight, Cormier said he was surprised he has to go at 70% to beat Khabib.
