Media GSP & Usman

[GOATtalks]

I think guys like Shields are absolutely better wins than Burns, as well as Fitch was when he beat him.

It's definitely no big deal to me at all sweetcheeks. If anyone tries to argue Usman is better or greater than GSP, I don't really take them seriously.

Exactly how?

Shields and Fitch were extremely one dimensional, they couldn’t strike at all. Burns was a lot more dangerous and well rounded fighter than Shields or Fitch

I don't think being more "well-rounded" automatically means you're a better fighter. I don't think i've ever thought this way in regards to MMA. I can give countless examples of less "well-rounded" guys that are better wins and had better careers than Gilbert Burns...

Usman gonna get in that ass.

Burns is at the same level or even better in terms of grappling than Shields or Fitch and he’s a much better striker. How exactly Shields or Fitch are better than him? Also if you look at their careers, they are pretty much the same level. I mean Burns has a hell of a resume:

Woodley
Maia
Wonderboy
Masvidal
Magny
Gunnar Nelson

Finishing Burns is a better win than a decision against Shields or Fitch

People love to downplay how good Shields is but this was his winstreak before Georges beat him. Shields also beat a Maia that was much closer to his prime than the one Gilbert beat.

Gilbert finished Maia in the first round, while Shields only squeezed out a split decision. Fitch lost to Maia. And Maia was always basically the same fighter- great BJJ, mediocre striking and a lazy single leg TD.

Bro the fights were like 7 or 8 years apart. Maia was like 42 when he fought Gilbert. Lol. Gilbert lost to Dan Hooker by KO. Chill.

Lol. Shields got finished by Ellenberger in 53 seconds. And Hooker is a better fighter than Ellenberger.

Also Maia was on a 3 fight win streak and a couple of years removed from fighting for the title. He was still the same guy.

I'd say GSP

He pretty much completly neutralized Kos with it, and while the fight wasn't stopped, he fucked him up real bad
