When woodley fought Koscheck he was already played out, and didn’t do much for his ranking.He did beat top competition before GSP retired, Koscheck, Condit, DHK, and Gastelum and was one win away from a title shot in a fight that could have gone either way with Shields.
Those are extremely difficult match ups and ones that GSP has never faced. GSP never faced a grappler on Maia's level ever and he never fought a karate striker on Wonderboy's level that has great TDD either.
This isn't a fun fact, nobody cares about this irrelevant stat.
He was on a 16 fights win Streak (8 in the UFC) before facing Georges.
14-3-1 UFC record = sucks ?!?!

If you follow the timeline, gsp and his team tell Dana they want to come and get the MW title.1. No. Instead he got smoked by a non entity in Marquardt, and beat up by GSP lite in Rory.
2. Woodley was a gate keeper until GSP left. He's taking GSPs sloppy 2nds. Koscheck 2.0
3. Robbie did have a career resurgence. And his style was tailor made for Woodley. He was going to stand there and trade bombs. Not to mention the fact that he'd gone through about 7 straight wars up to the time he fought Woodley during that resurgence. It was only a matter of time before his chin failed him.
4. GSP would merk Maia. Pull your head out of your ass. 1 trick pony. Woodley was deathly afraid to engage Maia in any way, and had the worst title defence performance in WW history, maybe even UFC history. Which leads to point 5.........
5. According to Matt Serra, Woodley was offered the GSP fight, then had that garbage performance against Maia, so Daddy Dana told him to go fuck himself and offered the fight to Bisping.
Woodley was never good enough to get to a title shot when GSP was running roughshod over the division. He was fighting int the bush leagues, and had his first good win of his career (over a shot Koscheck) the same night GSP retired.
So, you want George to fight at WW, for his 13th belt in the class vs a boring barely hanging on WW champ that couldn’t draw a PPV to save his life.Why doesn't GSP fight Woodley and take back his crown, aren't they the same age?
If GSP came back to fight Woodley right now on a massive winning streak to see who is the WW King and what will be GSP's GOAT legacy you don't think that fight sells over 800k? I do. I'd buy the fuck out of it. All of Canada would. Everyone would. Probably break a million if you add another title fight.So, you want George to fight at WW, for his 13th belt in the class vs a boring barely hanging on WW champ that couldn’t draw a PPV to save his life.
Instead of another belt in a new weightclass vs an UNDEFEATED champ??
Why???
Don’t go full retard.Till would make GSP look like trash.
No, woodleys not on a massive winning streak for one, unless you consider DRAWS and SPLIT decisions in the mix.If GSP came back to fight Woodley right now on a massive winning streak to see who is the WW King and what will be GSP's GOAT legacy you don't think that fight sells over 800k?

But no way in hell GSP fights Khabib either... he wanted winner of Khabib/ Conor. Khabib wins dominantly. Monday on Ariel show GSP now has debilitating colitis again. GSP vs either is great, but GSP cherry-picks like no other GOAT candidate. I think for longtime hardcores GSP vs Woodley is a lot more enticing than GSP vs a young killer LW. If GSP wins, (yeah right), Khabib is a LW. If Khabib wins, GSP is old. GSP vs Woodley are two longest reigning WW champs same age facing off with no excuses. (Assuming Woodley been champ longer than Hughes at this point?)No, woodleys not on a massive winning streak for one, unless you consider DRAWS and SPLIT decisions in the mix.
Gsp vs woodley doesn’t bring anything into to the mix except for GSP.
He brings all the draw woodley adds nothing.
With Khabibs win over Conor he adds some draw to the mix.
And is UNDEFEATED, I’m sure more people tune in to see if he can stay undefeated or if gsp can be the one to give him his FIRST LOSS.
Khabib> Woodley
I always liked FitchTry watching the fights.
You won't because they're hideously boring and Fitch was overly exploitative of the former rule set that heavily favored 'Octagon Control'.
FFS, Chris Wilson gave him a hard fight. I'll give Fitch one thing though, he possessed an innate ability to beat the shit out of Thiago Alves.
Other than that, he mostly stalled his way to that record you're boasting; context is really key.

Starts talking about Khabib and colitis at 15 minute mark. Does it sound to you like GSP wants any piece of Khabib?Link?
Went through 4 PAGES of google results and nothing NEW on his colitis?
Fitch on a better streak than Woodley at the momentI always liked Fitch
I think he's still a top 25 WW today !
