Does anyone actually believe GSP can make lightweight.

[Andy Capp]

There was a time way back when that I would say he'd have to chop off a leg to get the LW. But he's had 3 years and now he's got several more months so I am sure he can trim down and make the cut if he has to. But would he be the same fighter? Would he have the strength and the same timing as before? Maybe not and that's why I think it's unlikely, but it's far from ridiculous. At the same time, by all accounts he's bulked up rather than getting smaller so MW could possibly make sense. In the end, though, just compare him to Nordine Taleb, for example, who fought last night at WW. Stand those 2 side by side and tell me they even look like they're in the same weight class. Taleb is much bigger. So, who knows?

GSP and Firas, and now us.

I meant who knows which weight class he will actually fight in upon return. Unless there's been an announcement I missed about who he will fight?

 

[milenss]

He's too big imo.

GSP is just trying to enhance his image. "Oh look at me, small guy fighting in welterweight division. I am actually a lightweight". Dude will never make lightweight, and he will never move up to his real division, the middleweight division. He just don't want Conor to take his shine.

Conor dominated featherweight. Then went up to his real division and dominated there. And then went up another weight class and outboxed the best boxer at welterweight.

I lost respect for GSP when he came up with this BS.

Yes. GSP can make lightweight.

Sorry I misunderstood.

He probably can make lightweight but it's very hard and not healthy. He will have to lose more muscles and WW is the right division for him.

If he wants to fight Conor then it has to be at catch weight of 160 - 165.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Not at almost 36..

 

[IndyCovaHart]

If he has a four fight contract, I struggle to think of anyone besides Bisping that he would even be willing to fight.

Firas in 2010

"Well to be honest with you, I have recommended to Georges, you know...the only reason I don't recommend it now is because Frankie Edgar is the champion, but I'd want him to move down to 155 if Frankie was not the champion."

Two years before Conor debuted.

You are stupid. Put in some work dummy.

 

[Squish II]

I never believed it. Thiago alves said he could, and look how that turned out.

 

[Pulver-ize]

Firas is his trainer. Why would he contradict his own fighter. I bet you believe everything Donald Trump says.

Good trainers dont say crap their fighters want to hear

Out box the best boxer at welterweight? Nate pieced him up on the feet and nate is not the best anything at welterweight. George is an average sized welterweight at best....have you seen him standing next to a middleweight??
Conor on the other hand was always a big FW. You would never see George look like skeletor at the weigh ins. There are LWs just as big if not bigger than him.

Nate is a LW sir, and he did not outbox him. He lost to him the first time, and then fought to a close decision the second time.

Sherbros always speaking in absolutes like they're the utmost experts and insiders on all topics. Never gets old

 

[The Natural Born Runner]

I'm sorry, but Georges St. Pierre's 200lb walking around weight ass, is not making 155lbs.

Plus, why would we even want to see it?

We already saw Georges beat up Lightweights for some of his career - Serra/Penn/Sherk.
