GSP's record is way better than Khabib's

[Fioretti]

lol oh this is some cute bias.

Anderson SIlva lost 3 fights before fight 20. *Edit* 4 upon looking at fight finder since he got DQ'ed against Okami lol

GSP was fighting the best in the world by fight 8 while Khabib fought 8 more burger flippers in Russia before fighting anyone worth a damn and it was still only fucking Kamal Shalorus at that.... Even GSP's fights in UCC and TKO were against better fighters.

Stop comparing the proven absolute greatest of all time in guys like GSP and Silva who fought like 2 dozen solid fighters, compared to Khabib's what? 10?/ lol get out.

GSP lost his first title shot and his first title defense. Khabib retired as champ, undefeated. Cry less.

Imagine a world where you BRAG about decisioning Josh Koscheck, Dan Hardy, Carlos Condit and Thiago Alves?

To be fair, GSP wouldn't and doesn't. His fans just live in the land of make believe.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Of course it is.

GSP has the best record in MMA history. Even tho he has two lossess, his strenght of schedule is something only Jon Jones could have replicated (but instead cheated so he doesn't count).

He fought the greatest fighters of his era (some of the best fighter of all-time too - Prime BJ Penn, Prime Matt Highes, Prime Jake Shields, Prime Jon Fitch, Prime Carlos Condit and Pre-Usada Johnny Hendricks) and for the most part, absolutly dominated them, start to finish.

Khabib defended, and fought some of the best fighter of his era too, but he missed Ferguson. GSP cleaned his division like three times. Khabib doesn't have the same number of ranked fighters on his body count, not even close. GSP, on the other hand, fought mainly the number 1 contender or the one behind him.

 

[forRealHuh]

Wait, before coming to UFC Khabib fought guys that were not in UFC? No f’in way!

If you think GSP has a greater legacy than Khabib you've gotta be blatantly trolling for laughs

I refuse to believe that some of you guys genuinely think GSP is greater than someone like Khabib who's never lost, wins were much more dominant, and never ducked anyone unlike GSP.

Khabib > GSP easily and I say that as a huge GSP fan

 

[Asslessman]

GSP losing to Serra and Hughes for sure doesn’t put Khabib over him. That’s ridiculous.

St. Pierre took all their souls.

I never saw a fighter so disturbed like Alves after he fought St. Pierre.

Alves walking backstage looked like someone just died. He was very distraught. Like it was the end. That's what GSP does.

Likewise, friend.

Competition wise, I can't believe you could compare that level of competition both guys competed against in their respective times.

There's a list posted, St. Pierre, even with the losses has beat two active champs from two different weight classes and he was the king of the WW division as well.

I would love to see this so bad ...

Feel nobody would try to shoot unless they set up strikes thus making it a striking contest ... Shooting on either of them and getting stuffed means bad news... This is chess and you just lost a Queen / left horse being on the end of a solid sprawl

I feel GSP via Knees ... yes Knees

Once again I think that GSP's Karate and mix training would be on display because he could stuff take downs at almost any level in the game.... Prime GSP.... Not ATM GSP who cares about his family more then destroying his challenger ... Both of them should ride off into the sunset to lay a foundation for future fighters to follow who want to be humble.

 

[Superior]

There’s no debate really, GSPs legacy is far superior to Khabibs.

 

[5thDimensionMMA]

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

hmmm... jus´curious...

How do you assess who was a 'better fighter' between the likes of Strasser, Bruckmann, Denny, Galbraith .... & the likes of Arymarcel Santos, Abadzhyan, Agafonov, Bagov, Eldarov, Magomed Magomedov ... ?

He was 23 and 25.. GSP was NOT supposed to even fight Hughes.. Crazy circumstances dictated that.. Belt was vacant because BJ had left the UFC.. GSP was NOT ready.. Khabib at 23 was a long ass way from being a champ.. He didn't get it until basically 30.. And then only defended 3 times..

 

[PicoPulse]

GSP never lost to a Diaz brother
Octagon or streets

 

[Natural Order]

Khabib isn’t fit to sniff GSP’s underwear. Imagine ever comparing their careers.

You put it wonderfully, my guy. GSP was fighting the elite of the elite at 23. Khabib was fighting cab drivers

 

[Asslessman]

The conversation should be Khabib as the best lightweight of all time. Comparing his career to GSP’s is frivolous. 9 title defenses says it all.

 

[Terrorist]

Khabib would fuck up prime gsp

Gsp fought when mma was still in its early stages and talent and mma skills in general were still developing. Khabib is fighting complete mma fighters that btfo any of gsps competition.

 

[crysis]

gsp is way more well rounded and a complete martial artist than kahbib it's not even close. He fought the best guys in his division just as tough probably tougher than anybody kahbib faced at lw other than maybe conor. The only thing kahbib fans can say is that his record is better than gsp's because he has no losses but other than that in terms of total mma accomplishments he's not even close to gsp.

gsp has defended any losses convincingly
2x ww champ
9 title defenses in a row
mw champ (became 2 division champion)

sorry but kahbib has a long ways to go to be realistically compared to gsp, when he has 9 defenses goes up to ww and wins that belt then fans can talk shit about comparing him to gsp, happy posting.
