Does gsp

Does gsp have the best striking in the UFC ?

 

[xMaxPower]

obviously

 

[SiMntjMMA]

Does your thread













































still exist?

 

[WinterSoldier]

Not really the best, but GSP is a good striker and has a well rounded attack.

 

[...El Ray]

Not even close.

 

[hugoooo]

Yes, he is.

And Anderson is the best wrestler.

 

[Dragin'Don]

I would Rank Jose at the top of this category

 

[Spoonman7]

Because GSP does not knock a lot of guys out, people sleep on his actual striking skills. Great technique and accuracy. He is very good, among the better strikers in the game

 

[Intellidamus]

Obviously not a knockout artist but top 5 IMO

 

[Lanshire]

No. It's not even close. It is good though.

 

[RockyLockridge]

not really. ts. it's good but he doesnt utilize it enough for it to be considered "best" imo

But there's a good reason for that. The ability to knock guys out is part of striking skill in a fight. Technique is actually less important than that.

It's like shooting a basketball. Some guys may have better textbook form but if another guy can put the ball in the hoop just as well or better, well, that's what matters most. Technique is, after all, largely just theory so it's debatable. An opponent laying unconscious isn't.

Someone's always better than someone. In regards to who the best, in anything, is subjective.

 

[JimmyTheHand]

Up there but Aldo or Silva takes it

 

[BubbaH]

He is a very good striker. I don't think he is the best. He never really let's it go anymore though. He jabs and throws his superman punch and throws an occasional kick. He has mad skill in the striking department, it's just a shame that he seems to hold so much back. He could TKO most of the WW division if he just took a risk from time to time and tried it.

 

[Free_MMAson]

I thought his second fight with Koscheck showed the best striking and I heard he trained the most with Freddie Roach for this fight, so I really hope he does the same if he will come back for the rematch with Hendricks.

But some people who naturally possess more power does not make them better strikers. Take Hendricks for example, brutal power but his technique, while good, leaves a lot to be desired. Guys who swing hard but do not utilize other aspects of striking like head and foot movement and angles are not surperior strikers in my personal opinion.

Lol. Power is definitely not as important as technique. Who ever told you the opposite is an idiot. Or are you just making shit up because your trying desperately to justify your hate?

Yes, if we exclude JDS, Hunto, Cain, DC, Machida, Mousasi, Anderson, Lawler, Pettis, Aldo, Mendez, Melendez, Edgar and Barao.
