Khabib says he'll push for a GSP fight

[fortheo]

Ariel asked khabib if he think Conor is next, but khabib says he's thinking of GSP. He says beating GSP means a lot more than beating Conor and that it's better for his legacy.



I can't time stamp while the video is live for some reason.

cliffs:

-he told that he can offer legacy and gsp can offer legacy, so the fight would make sense.

-khabib gave gsp credit by calling him the greatest ufc fighter ever insider and outside the ring.

-he grew up watching his fights. so khabib thinks gsp is the ufc greatest fighter ever in his opinion.

-he told mcgregor can offer money but not legacy.

-but the ufc will try to make him fight conor. by booking khabib vs conor in dezember 12 at madison square garden (not in russia) while khabib is more interested in fighting gsp.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Khabib beat a out of prime gsp but man would I pay them dollars to see him smash McGregor.

Inside the ring gsp would get killed especially under pride rules of yellow card

 

[Perrichet]

Respect to Khabib but lol at him having a legacy

I’m struggling to make sense of this

I called it. I knew he was going to go for that fight next. GSP has been pretty obvious with wanting the LW title also.

sure if someone can give him the first loss thats legacy defining. thats a fact. thats the reason why holloway took this fight.

GSP would outstrike Khabib with his superior striking and no way in hell is he taking down GSP easily. GSP by TKO or KO in 2nd or 3rd. Only person that would give GSP a challenge is Woodley. Woodley has the power to KO GSP.

Easy win for George...not sure why Khabib is talking about this fight already...

Max by easy decision...

 

[gb@Trumpski]

Probably, but Khabib doesnt run from real challenges.

Not really considering more than half of the guys Khabib has beat aren’t relevant. GSP handing Khabib his first L wouldn’t do anything for him

 

[Noraaq]

Ehh Im favoring Khabib here, GSP is on his way out

I've been saying the same, but people act like a 5'10 180lb GSP can't lose a few pounds and make LW.

This fight would be the best fight to put on. It's hard to imagine either guy losing, and those are the best fights to make.

 

[crysis]

nothing new here.....just another fighter calling out an out of prime fighter just for a money fight.

when you win a belt in a division, it should be your job to defend it against the other competitors in your division who have earned there title shot.

the ufc doesn't always follow this format and neither does the fighters....they all want big pay day fights. Kahbib fights at lw, he doesn't fight at ww and why would gsp want a fight against someone who hasn't even cemented there legacy in the ww division that gsp fought in all his life. just another fighter calling out big names for big pay days, it seems this is the in thing for the ufc now.

 

[MayhemMonkey]

one minute he's saying he cares only about money...... then the next he is talking about fighting GSP for his legacy?

inconsistent much?

Huh? Has GSP ever been stood up when he has top control? Not sure he would have ever been given a yellow card.

 

[Cold Front]

GSP should win it easily. He has the size, the brain, and the grappling defense to put a thumping on Khabib.

26-0 record is that point, I would guess.

So does that mean Artem Lobov headlines in Russia???

 

[Grapplefest]

This is a very tough fight for Khabib against a prime 170 GSP, I don't know if he'd be able to take him down and he'd probably get jabbed up on the feet. But a 2018 155 pounds GSP, I wouldn't be surprised if Khabib took it.
