Comparing GSP and Usman's welterweight win streaks.

[acannxr]

A big deal is being made about Usman breaking GSP's welterweight win streak, so I thought it'd be interesting to actually compare them.

Georges St-Pierre's 12-fight win streak at welterweight:

#4 Josh Koscheck
#3 Matt Hughes
#1 Matt Serra
#2 Jon Fitch
#1 (LW) B.J. Penn
#2 Thiago Alves
#5 Dan Hardy
#3 Josh Koscheck
#2 Jake Shields
#2 Carlos Condit
#5 Nick Diaz
#2 Johny Hendricks
AVG RANKING: 2.66

Kamaru Usman's 13-fight win streak at welterweight:

#102 Hayder Hassan
#68 Leon Edwards
#31 Alexander Yakovlev
#51 Warlley Alves
#36 Sean Strickland
#42 Sergio Moraes
#13 Emil Meek
#7 Demian Maia
#3 Rafael dos Anjos
#1 Tyron Woodley
#3 Colby Covington
#2 Jorge Masvidal
#4 Gilbert Burns
AVG RANKING: 27.92

#68 Leon Edwards would beat #5 ranked Dan Hardy

 

[Fesaine]

In conclusion, Usman streak is more impressive.

Burns, Rda, Young Edward, Colby, Woodley, Masvidal, Maia >>Hughes, Shield, Koscheck, Condit, and Diaz.

Smart move by Georges, by allowing Serra to become champion, he count as a win over a #1 instead of being an unranked W on his resume.

This is why title defenses can't be compared to regular non title fights to move you up the ladder, once you're the champ you're only facing ranked contenders and all in 5 rounders.

#68 Leon Edwards would beat #5 ranked Dan Hardy

The fact that Dan hardy was even ranked in the top 5 prove how much better welterweight have become.

And lol at serra ranked #1 at one point.

 

[dildos]

sucks coming from tuf where you get low ranked fighters for a while.

but yeah usmans record has nothing on gsps.

#68 Leon Edwards would beat #5 ranked Dan Hardy

he was still developing himself, mma math doesn't work

 

[TheMessiah]

Dan Hardy was #5? Wow that division is even worse than i remembered. Not to mention Serra getting a title shot from TUF (Split decision even)

 

[Combat-Betting]

GSP beat a bunch of undersized lightweights with obsolete mma skillsets.
Usman is beating much harder competition.

Its like someone with 20 wins on easy mode vs someone with 10 wins on hard mode. The latter is more impressive

 

[JumJum]

Usman fought much better competition period. Soon Dana White and Joe Rogan will start to call him the GOAT for selling more ppv. And in frankly if he won't lose he earned this title. If he can beat Colby or Edwards in a rematch he should go up and start to clean middleweight division.

Chiesa is ranked #5 on FightMatrix because he defeated Condit (0-4 in his last four fights), Sanchez (need I say more?), RDA (1-3 in last four and moved back to LW), and Magny (<Lmaoo>).

 

[Fesaine]

Chiesa is ranked #5 on FightMatrix because he defeated Condit (who lost his last 4 fights), Sanchez (need I say more?), RDA (1-3 in last four and moved back to LW), and Magny (<Lmaoo>).

Fight matrix is shit. And chiesa would completely dominate any version hardy. So what's your point?

Chiesa would choke Hardy

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

GSP would beat Colby and Gilbert so badly it wouldn’t even be funny

 

[TheMessiah]

Chiesa is ranked #5 on FightMatrix because he defeated Condit (0-4 in his last four fights), Sanchez (need I say more?), RDA (1-3 in last four and moved back to LW), and Magny (<Lmaoo>).

Chiesa would literally sub Hardy within 1 minute

 

[r-harper-1]

I don’t even like George..... but he’s far ahead of usman .....Usman needs 3 or 4 quality wins for the discussion to start

Im glad GSP is finally recognized as overrated and not-dominant enough to be GOAT. He played it safe his entire career and rarely finished a fight. Those things are what matter on all-time lists.
