GSP's record is way better than Khabib's

[SpedDaddyV]

GSP has 20 wins in the UFC, Khabib has 13

GSP has 9 title defenses, Khabib has 3

Only 1 out of 28 of GSP's opponents has no wikipedia... 15 of Khabib's wins are sketchy Russian guys with no wikipedia. If you google his early fights, they weren't even in a cage or a ring.

GSP won 2 titles, Khabib won 1 title

GSP avenged his losses with ease, Khabib never rematched Gleison Tibau

Almost all of GSP's fights in the UFC were against a top 10 opponent. Khabib fought like 4 or 5 top 10 ranked opponents.

GSP lost his first title shot AND his first title defense. Whoops!

Yes gsp has a better resume than khabib. To dispute that is to out yourself as low iq or a nuthugger.

 

[removeinfo001]

GSP got beaten up, and tapped to strikes.

Khabib, ARGUABLY, lost 2 rounds.


Khabib's last three opponents were/are all, on the p4p list.

 

[PulsingJones]

Disagree.

Khabib fought better competition, and was more dominant.

Plus, GSP is a decision machine.

He was like 22 years old at the time fighting grown men world champions like Matt Hughes

At 22 Khabib was taking pics on myspace and fighting Ali Bagov and Eldar Eldarov

Oh lord. Now you’re going to have the Khabib fanboys AND the Anderson Silva fanboys in here spamming Serra tap gifs and post Hendricks fight pics.

I mean yeah

Khabib didn't tap to strikes to a midget or an armbar with one second to go

Khabib didn't tap to strikes to a midget or an armbar with one second to go

Khabib wasn't facing world class competition in his early 20s

Are you disputing facts with assumptions and ancient internet pics? Weird.

 

[Savage]

agreed

 

[mmaknight]

Of course he does. We're talking about Georges St. Pierre. It's no joke that he's got the better record and there's nothing wrong with that.

Khabib fans, I'm one, like to go nuts that Khabib is the GOAT. But has he beat three active champions at the respective time. No.

St. Pierre is amazing, and it's no shame that he's better than Khabib. There's nothing wrong with that. It's the insecurity of his fans that make this an issue.

These threads are just too easy...
How do you compare the resumes of two fighters when one had his arm taken off in his prime, got sent to the morgue by a 5'3 lw journeyman in his first defense and never finished a fight compared to a guy who arguably lost two rounds his entire career. Khabibs wins over prime conor, prime dustin and prime gaethje blow away any and all wins by gsp.

 

[KID Yamamoto]

GSP fought better grapplers while Khabib fought better strikers.

Doesn't change my point. You said resume and that includes his fights at 20. Tapping to Serra is one of the most embarrassing losses ever

 

[Surveillance State]

Khabib didn't pussify his whole legacy by becoming a frightened point scorer too afraid to commit enough to finish the likes of Dan Hardy. GSP has apologized to more fans for boring, shitty performances than any athlete ever. GSP was obviously immensely talented, but the second half of his career was such a disappointment in terms of his performances when you compare it to the first half of his career.

 

[TheSpider]

GSP’s resume consists of one dimensional fighters and bloated LWs until Hendricks retired him. Khabib has beaten and finished better fighters.

Khabib never lost let alone tapped to strikes in his prime as defending champion against a LW journeyman.

 

[omawho402]

Agreed, GSP is better than Khabib and is more well rounded in his skillset
