Media Did GSP reach his peak in fighting during the end of 2007 to 2009?

[Takes Two To Tango]

That's just my take it on it.

Right after he lost to Matt Serra, he had a great streak of wins against.

Koschek
Hughes
Serra
Fitch
Penn
Alves

Thoughts?

Are we just saying that’s when he *reached* his peak, or that was the entirety of it? I think he reached his peak in that timeframe, but I consider peak GSP to have lasted until the knee injury (after the Shields fight). Like 2008-2011 or so would be peak GSP.

That's a fair answer my friend.

 

[Boguentoo]

Yeah.

I agree with that.

GSP vs Pitbull was the best display of perfect timing for takedowns that i have ever seen.

We are talking about a Thiago Alves that was able to stuff basically all takedowns tried by Kosheck/Matt Hughes/Karo

 

[Luthien]

He looked pretty good demolishing Bisping

Agreed. The Fitch and Alves wins were beyond impressive. Honorable mention for obliterating Trigg in the manor that he did, back when he was still Rush.
