GSP is the UFCs most accomplished champ. His title reign ruled for 3 UFC WW ERAs

[ackileez]

No other champ can even come close to GSPs accomplishments.
IMO maybe Jones in a few years if he doesn`t tank his career.

GSP dominated 3 UFC WW Eras.

Trigg-Sherk-Penn-Hughes 2002-2006

Penn-Hughes- Fitch - Alves- Kos 2006-2010

Condit-Diaz-Hendricks 2010-2013

Seriously... These guys all were killers in the WW Div. Even the current guys.
Who the fuck has finished Condit. Who the fuck has finished Hendricks other than recent Wonderboy(awesome btw) (lawler couldnt)
Who even comes close to finishing Nick Diaz.

Shields...who takes this guy out other than a flash KO, you dont roll with this guy. GSP knew that. add in the eye poke, but w.e.

He beat Penn in his prime, twice. Hughes in his prime. twice.
-Alves was sprawl n brawling his way to the top of the division. Gsp took him down like a kid. & outstruck him.
-Fitch NCAA CHAMP was wrestling everyone into oblivion. Gsp outwrestled him and outstruck him.
-Koscheck was mopping the floor with everyone, NCAA CHAMP x2 . GSP takes him down, beats him.
2nd fight = Jabs him to death.

Most dominant champ winning all rounds UNTIL...He had an ACL knee surgery, came back... and still won vs the toughest current ww fighters. Avenged all losses - retired with the belt.

Ronda was hailed as MMA GOD by Dana, for not losing a round in 2 years.
GSP went undefeated in rounds for like 6 years until Hendricks, and Dana shits on the guy.

LMAO.pfft. Conor and Ronda don`t even deserve the same mention as legit GOAT legends like GSP.

I must mention - His poorest showing was vs the Hendricks fight - a fight where GSP went through additional drug testing, when Hendricks declined.

WAR TRUE GOAT
GSP

[Fedor>Cain]

These boring GSP GOAT threads are more exciting than GSP fights.

 

[Blayt7hh]

I don't think anyone with a brain will argue that he didn't have the hardest schedule of any champ

 

[Higgins2Waite]

wasn't this exact thread done a couple of months ago? I'm going to go hunt it down...

 

[Ken Oath]

Plus he was all natty unlike Silva.

 

[Cynfocus]

Plus he was all natty unlike Silva.

I enjoyed Silva's and Jones' reign more, right now it's all on JJ tbh but 205 is pretty much cleared out if Jones gets his belt from DC and beats Rumble.

TS, I wouldn't call those 3 Eras, Maybe two, not 3... most of these guys are the same guys... Aside from the Matts and the Penn they were either boring fights or fights he took significant damage in.

Great champ regardless of my opinion however... And I still never believed his was all natty, just have no proof that he wasn't. I can believe what I want.

GSP was good because of 1 reason: he never took on overly risky fights. He is the anti-Conor. His timidity and fear of losing robbed us of many amazing. And now he wants to fight a 45'er? He was a great fighter but he is symbolic of so much that has gone wrong with sport and why Conor has been such a massive success.

He cleaned out his entire weight class

goof

 

[Spycho]

Oh my God, wrestling.

 

[klimt]

People started to find him boring. But it's tough to deny that he dominated without sounding illogical.

 

[AC1D1K]

TS, do you secretly wish GSP finds this thread, then falls in love wtih you and then asks you to marry him?

 

[Deleted member 220895]

Those are the facts. Still a huge fan. He doesn't need to come back. If he does, he probably still hangs with the top 5.

 

[Fuzzybread]

He should've finished Hardy, but besides that his career is nearly flawless.

He dominated the best of the best weight class in the UFC for the majority of a decade. It takes a real idiot to be unimpressed with GSP's career

 

[gspfedkobe24]

Obviously

LMAO, what are you talking about? He's had the hardest schedule of any UFC Champ in history.

Comparing Conors current schedule to GSPs is absolutely laughable.

 

[DorianGray]

Not a fan of his style but there's no doubt gsp is an absolute stud

WAR TRUE GOAT
GSP

Fitch was never a NCAA wrestling stand out let alone a champ. Also your definition of eras is a bit arbitrary. Other then that though I agree, he's up there right now amongst the GOATs with Bones, him and Fedor (no specific order).
