Does Usman still have time surpassing GSP?

Just impossible.
Unfortunately for Usman, the guys he’s beating just don’t have enough cache to overthrow the longevity of GSP.
GSP beat a lot of names that ended up not last very long at the top (Hardy, Alves, Serra as examples), but he beat a lot of names that we “anticipated”, Diaz, Shields, Condit…
Usman’s best win is stopping Colby, which arguably is better than any of GSP’s wins, but when you take into account that the fight was legit neck and neck, I think it takes a tiny bit of shine.
Usman beats Edwards, then Chimaev, now we are talking.
