Is Francis evolving into the HW GSP?

[Pascal Bergeron]

he finished a 1 eyed man big deal freaking Kelvin Gastelum did it faster

Gastelum also fough bisping 3 weeks after the gsp fight were he got concussed and wasn't even medically clear to fight but Chinesse money is more important than fighter safety

 

[tequilaboy]

you are aware it was against Bisping

You are aware no matter who it was against your statement is wrong..

Admittedly slight hyperbolic, but who saw today’s fight coming?

GSP outgrappled Karo in his debut UFC fight....

Francis had the fight lost until Gane made a mistake going for the leglock

JFC, this is turning into a GSP thread, and it’s all my fault.

And I don’t think GSP out grappled Karo, he definitely out wrestled him.

Yeh, but Francis is fighting at HW, where there’s very few elite grapplers. And GSP certainly wasn’t there early in his career. And I did mention hyperbole.

GSP spent 12 of 15 minutes dominating a judo and bjj black belt on the ground in Karo in his very first UFC fight... what the fuck are you smoking buddy lol

Actually, if you watched the fight, GSP’s grappling posed very few problems for Karo. His TDs were a different story.
