GSP vs Khabib at 170

GSP could do enough in terms of defensive wrestling and then tool Khabib up on the feet. His fight IQ is off the charts. Let’s also not forget that we don’t know how Khabib will look cardio wise in rounds four and five.
 
Prime GSP shutouts khabib 30-27 or 50-45.
 
What’s next ? MM coming up and beating Khabib ?

He's a very good grappler. But why is he doing awful weight cuts if he could win at 170? He clearly disagrees about his ability to take down anyone at 170, let alone 185.

Khabib fan, and id like to think he could win, but this quote is a great point and probably true.

When was the last time GSP fought at 170? Years ago, and I have a feeling today's GSP and yesteryears are two diffrent animals.

Prime GSP would win this fight 50-45.. Even today he would be a huge favorite..
 
LOL at any of you mother fuckers who think that Khabib is going to maul one of the best MMA wrestlers, and one of the all time GOATS in GSP.
 
I think GSP could easily jab the fuck out of him and he will be skilled enough to avoid getting pounded by Khabib, if GSP fights smart(like almost always does) I'm confident he beat Khabib, probably a boring fight tho....
 
We need to get the Askren fans in here and ask them what happens if Askren fights Khabib.

gsp has never really gassed going 5 rounds at 170, he got abit tired during the fight with diaz but his training team said it was because he was fighting of a flu and felt worn down prior to the fight.

Your also forgetting gsp would and is alot stronger than kahbib, guys like chael who are bigger and past opponents at ww have said it.

That being said even if he gets taken down i think gsp has the strength to get back to his feet. Your also forgetting gsp can just take kahbib down and have success holding him there and using his ground game, could also just submit kabib....even gsp can avoid kahbib take down or stuff most of his attempts and control the distance by making it a kick boxing fight I see no real issues for gsp.

gsp has the strength to get back to his feet and ability to stuff maybe not all but some of the td attempts, so if kahbib's only game plan is to go for td after td then by the the time the 4th round happens who knows how much gas he'll have left in his tank, gsp on the other should still be pretty fresh.

when gsp was in his prime 5 round fights where he was taking guys down all day, staying active, and was fine in terms of cardio....i don't see kahbib winning against gsp in any way or form really.
 
Easy win for George. If you can get Khabib out of his game lan he'd be a sitting duck for a GSP jab fest.
 
GSP would beat him down man. He would beat Khabib to the takedown every time and it wouldn't even be funny.
 
Granted he is past his prime but prime GSP TDD

No, I never said he gassed at 170; he is just older and didnt look great during his last outing, which, granted was at 185 and after a long layoff.
I just think it would be tough to sustain Khabibs pressure and it would be interesting to see their scrambles and who would wind up on top, making the other carry their weight.
I don't think many people have shot on Khabib, and GSP could very well do just that. And yes, he might be stronger.
 
GSP hugs him to death, literally. Khabib ended up in the hospital and missed his fight the last time this happened.
