The guy who had trouble wrestling with Anthony Smith and got outwrestled by sweed kickboxer Alexander Gustafsson is a better wrestler than GSP ? Lol

He actually took on Gustafsson again and beat him in convincing fashion.

GSP ran from Hendricks like the fucking plague and never said his name again.

He couldnt even finish a shit fighter like Smith.

Jones was bigger + pride rules + free pass for PEDs

Jones never fought the best version of Gus.

Gus should leave MMA forever, he is done.

Gus vs grandpa Shogun was somehow competitive

LOL

Are you talking wrestling only?

Because if you mean mma I cant name anyone who even comes close to Glover apart from Prime Hendricks and BJ Pen and Hendricks should be counted as a loss on his record. It’s a sad thing to see people wanting GSP to be goat so bad they’re overhyping and exaggerating the likes of Jake Shields.

I've given MMA a lot of time to study and watch it and let me tell you im yet to see anyone to constantly defeat and dominate such elite competitors with such relative ease like GSP did .
I cant think of the last time he fought a non top 5 fighter (Dan Hardy was ranked in top 5 by multiple MMA media outlets) and yet he was constantly dominating elite MMA top contenders and champions with relative ease and doing all of this while being a clean athlete unlike many of his foes .
Even the ones who ere thought to be tough challenges for him were dominated badly by the GOAT and he had only one close fight in his legendary run (Shields 2 judges scorecards dont tell the story since the only significant offense Shields had were his eyepokes and it wasnt close at all)
There are good fighters , great fighters and special fighters . GSP is the later one clearly and its a type of athlete never seen before in the world of fighting.
Fun FACT: Despite not having a wrestling background GSP is arguably the best wrestler in MMA and was never outwrestled (Besides the first Hughes fight in which he had a mental block and was inexperienced) in a wrestling-heavy division just another little testament to how great and special the GOAT is.

I'm gonna have to stop reading nd answer. It's a once well-known fact that noone could handle his riddum.

Simple as that.

Lol Glover is not even at Nick or Kos level . Neither are majority of past of prime fighters Jones beat and filled his overrated resume with.

 

[sonofjay817]

Yeah better guys such as Anthony Smith and OSP <Lmaoo>

I love how you conveniently left out arguably the greatest HW of all time, Emelienegro. Not to mention the murderers row whose careers he basically ended during his ascension. Just because they're nobodies now doesn't take away from what they were then.

By taking as little risk as possible, that why he ain't the goat.

 

[ThunderStruck]

Jones dominated even better guys with even more ease.

No.

What's wrong with Jake Shields? In the leadup to his fight with GSP he was on a 15 fight win streak with wins over names like Okami, Condit, Daley, Lawler, Mayhem, Dan Henderson, and Kampmann. After his loss to GSP he holds wins over Woodley and Maia.

Even a past of prime and post-gsp Shields was able to beat former champ Woodley and Maia who both are currently in the top 10 . GSP would run through today ww division.

 

[KORMAN]

god like ability to time the TD with his strikes, angles, and ability to read your posture, and when you're the most vulnerable.

Also, elite top control, and strength from the top position, with extensive grappling knowledge, and submission defense.

 

[Lonorton94]

“Past their primes” lame excuses of GSP nutt huggers whine aren’t fed despretly trying to fight for him because he doesn’t have the courage to come out of retirement face USADA and his current division full of bigger powerful less broken down guys with less wear and tear that would be a stylistic nightmare match up for him.

Let me ask you since when is a rookie 3 to 4 years in his career beating former world champions who’s last reigns ended 1 to 2 years ago overrated?

Since when are a bunch of men in their late 20’s early 30’s past their prime.

Since when is beating a guy comming off a 20 fight when streak for five rounds overrated or how is he past his prime?

The answer none of those guys were past their prime, it’s the logic of insecure Jon Jones haters GSP nutt huggers who feel threatened by Jon Jones presence in the sport and desperately want GSP to be the goat in the eyes of the mma world when he he cant even when a goat poll on twitter.

 

[Xoleth]

Jones dominated even better guys with even more ease.

Wrestlers

Jones:
a) DC
b) Rashad
c) Bader

GSP
a) Hughes
b) Fitch
c) Shields
d) Sherk
e) Kos
f) Hendricks (also top striker)

Also, when it comes to strikers

Jones
a) Gus
b) MW Vitor
c) MW Machida
d) Rampage

GSP
a) Condit
b) Diaz
c) Alves
d) LW BJ
e) Bisping - yes, (despite the cherry picking) if we add Gus who fights once every two years and who's best win is injured Shogun and who is mostly known for his losses, we can also add a UFC champion with top cardio and heart

His competition was alright for their time, not one world beater on his resume. A lot of guys with skidded records. None of them were world class at anything except for Matt Hughes with his wrestling even he wasn’t a complete fighter. He played it safe a lot not many finishes.

Thats so false. His competition is the best in all mma.

You newbies need to realize that it's very hard to become a big name at WW because there are worldwide at least 3 times more WW than MW and its even greater when compared to LHW and HW. 3 times more competition = 3 times harder to reach the top 10 and stay there, 3 times harder to have a great record.

Heres a good example : During Silva's era, MW had one good wrester : Chael Sonnen. His BJJ was terrible but he was an elite wrestler.

During that time WW had Kos, Shields, Fitch, Pierce, Hendricks, Rick Story. That's 6 wrestlers comparable to Sonnen in skills.

So of course it's harder to prolong your career at WW when the young wolves are spawning left and right in your division compared to completely stalled divisions like HW and LHW where the same fighters are at the top for a decade, not because they're particularly good, but because theres no competition to knock them off.

That makes the LHW and HW appears to be bigger names than they actually are.

GSP's resume is well and above everyone for anyone who knows what they're talking about.
