Is GSP the only fighter that came out of the sport unscathed?

[Mark McMichael]

and he never looked like this after a fight he 'won'........

Superficial visual damage following a fight is the silliest way to try and measure this.

Certain fighters like GSP show superficial visible damage very easy whereas as others (BJ Penn) rarely would show visible damage even when they took multiples more abuse.

Concussive blows, which don't always cause as much visual damage (why they padded the boxing gloves) are far more damaging.

Khabib? The Putin supporting, anti-woman, 8th century mindset man?

Please. GSP all the way

Hey man , back off , khabib is an example of what a good disciplined man should be. I guess you have luke rockhold posters all over the place.

 

[jitzmonkey]

No one is uncathed from fighting as long as he did. Remember about the two blown acl's and the aliens visiting him?

Came here to say this.

Khabib came out way more unscathed than GSP. Khabib retired after only a few high level fights, GSP took a lot more damage.

Exactly!
It's hard to take a ton of damage when you're fundamentally sound and only fighting an average of 3 times every 2 years.

He is dagestani redneck, bit too much conservative for me but still 1000x better than western leftists

Assuming that you're American; so you're aware that the USA was founded on Classical Liberalism.
American conservatives (Republicans) are liberal by classical standards.

Hardcore western blue hair freak out "if you call me a 'Mr.' when I was born with a penis" is not indicative of Classical liberalism; neither is the idea that one shouldn't criticize the government.

What about everyone else who speaks clearly and seems to be able to comfortably handle their lifestyle and its bills? I imagine that should be most everyone who hasn't posted controversial headlines about their life decisions post-retirement.

 

[Fioretti]

Nope

 

[capnlarge]

Quick someone go through GSP's social media with a fine tooth comb for something to cancel him over

Ali Abdelaziz was with GSP when this 'encounter' happened and looking at that alien dome now...

 

[MRT]

Not exactly one of the greats, but...

Cole Konrad retired as Bellator HW champ with a 9-0 record and typically took little damage in his fights, usually stifling his opponents on the ground.

Wrestling for the Univ. of Minnesota, Konrad was a decorated 2x NCAA champ and Pan-Am gold medalist who became a member of Team Death Clutch, training with Brock Lesnar and Pat Barry.

Since walking away from MMA almost 10 yrs ago, Konrad has been an agricultural commodities broker, a decision he made once he got married and as a means to better support a family. Given the shit show that Bellator's HW division had been for many years (and continued to be for many more), and presumably not seeing the UFC as a viable option, it was probably a very good decision.

Considering Khabib retired undefeated it's clearly him.

 

[Mark McMichael]

While I agree with the above, if you look at it relative to his accomplishments GSP is ahead of Khabib.

What i am saying is time of rule and what you accomplished in that period of rule has to factor in too otherwise the quicker you retire the better this weird stat would look.

 

[IloveTHIS]

Dont know if anyones mentioned it but GSP himself has mentioned having serious issues with losing vast hours of time

Either hes been abducted by aliens like he believes(with zero evidence to substantiate this belief) or he is showing early signs of CTE

Khabib & GSP are the only 2 great fighters to really retire on top. Athletes usually don't know when to hang it up. I think GSP left at the right time, his time as #1 & reign of dominance was for a very long time (yes, I'm fully aware the Hendricks decision was controversial). Khabib was only champ for a few yrs, I think Khabib should've stayed on longer but you can't blame the guy, with his dad passing away & all. If Khabib stayed on another 5 yrs & started losing, you would have fans saying "he got exposed by the new breed", & "he was never any good, just that he never fought anyone good before these new breed guys"

Nah she is just piggy backing off his show being a success.

Actually, she started before the Schmo. Regardless of what you think of her, she put a lot of work in to start her own stuff.

Her voice causes me discomfort and she brays like an ass.

She had speech issues which is why she started all of this in the first place. I'm pretty indifferent to her to be honest. The main issue I have with her (and the Schmo) is their questions are complete softballs.

What else? Did she save a burning orphanage and raise a farm full of underprivileged lamas?

I think you're very confused, and honestly quite stupid. I'm saying there's probably reasons she talks the way she does. If you don't like it that's great but you're pretty much incorrect on everything you type.

Stop covering for her terribleness,you Mook.

I am not incorrect when I say her voice causes me discomfort and that she brays like an ass.

I'm not, I specifically said I'm indifferent. I'm aware though that trying to explain things to a clueless twit doesn't usually go too well
