ChatGPT about how Khabib vs GSP would have gone @165lb

[Sean Chowdhury]

islam had 4 inches of height on volk and a clear weight advantage, it's easy to play counter against someone who has to close the distance while giving every single physical advantage to you
also a guy who struggled with volk and poirier is not "cancelling gsp wrestling out", if he took roided to all hell hendricks down, he'll take islam down too
standing gsp would have the same height and weight as islam, with a longer reach and way more refined striking game, islam would be the one trying to close the distance
and no, islam is not a "better striker on the backfoot" or faster than gsp, ur basically making this up based on islam's striking success against competition that is lower than the one gsp fought
36 year old poirier wouldnt land a punch on gsp
all in all, gsp had a longer reach, more power, more explosion, better reflexes and more technique tham islam striking, he was also a better mma wrestler
it would not be close

poirier was 35 and considering condit who has paper bag takedown defense dropped gsp how do you know poirier wouldn't find a shot on him or hurt him at any point? GSP has been knocked out by featherweights too, it's still difficult to find counters on lighter, faster, and more skilled fighters like volk or even holloway who we saw make gaethje look like a fool when he moved up.

GSP isn't this striking genius, he has a good jab and can outjab wrestlers, all of the guys who GSP pieced up on the feet would also get pieced up by Islam. Oliveira is a tougher fight than a lot of the people GSP beat, he has power, nasty BJJ, and is good in every aspect of mma. Islam made him look like a can

condit had better striking than anyone islam ever faced, so did prime bj, so did alves. and gsp faced those guys while they were in their primes, not at 36 like islam did poirier
and charles(i love him btw) is another guy who has striking success predicated on his ground game, strip the ground game away(like islam did) and he becomes manageable
at ww he wouldnt get pass rory(who i would favor over islam too), let alone give any trouble to gsp

now, gsp is not a striking genius for sure(this category is for the andersons and pereiras of the world), he simply was better than islam technically and physically

The fact that Nurmagomedov wanted it at a catchweight is proof positive that he wasn't confident in his chances against an old GSP, let alone a prime version.

Still unsure why anyone cares or wanted this weird fight.

 

[Fedorgasm]

It would look like Koscheck

My thoughts exactly.

GSP's wrestling was the best the sport has ever seen. I can't recall a fighter that he couldn't take down.

I can't explain it. It doesn't make sense. He fought guys that had been wrestling decades longer than him, and yet he was better.

Then add the fact that he's bigger, beat better competition, and is also a better striker, and it's a pretty clear win for GSP
