I will gladly shit on all his other points too.A lot of people will shit on you and swear Khabib isn't a big LW and ignore all your other points.

GSP is retired. Khabib is a LW champ. Stop this insanity already. Khabib fights Tony and then Justin (if he wins).
And I for one will be happy when this whole "double division" era is over. GSP had it right 10 years ago; dominate your division. The evolution toward double champs needs to devolve.
GSP said it could be at a catchweight since he doesn't want the belt so it can def cut it.If the fight is not for the 155lbs title then what's in it for gsp?
He wants the legacy of being the first champ champ champ
Some random catch weight fight won't cut it.
Also talking about this at this point is pointless, because tony ferguson is gonna finish khabib and take the title! Gsp don't want that smoke #TeamElCucuy #ChampShitOnly #SnapDownCity
GSP would jab his face into oblivion. Reach and a great jab would be too much!Gsp reach = 76 inches (average lhw)
Khabib reach = 70 inches (average fw)
This also proves Khabib is handsomer than GSP (only face).
He may have before then changed his mind. He's not dumb. He's anything but dumb. If it's at 155 khabib is.... not impressive. He's an old man with colitis. I already explained why the 155 thing... Dana Ali and Khabib want this legend SLAUGHTERED, not merely beaten at 170. That is your 155 reason. It would be one of the best nights of Dana's career. But nobody will respect that fight so.. book it.GSP wants another belt
Yoel is 5'10, but GSP ducked the MW title defense.If it is a 'legacy fight', they meet in the middle at catchweight 165 Ibs.
Otherwise Khabib steps up and tests himself at 170 where he has fought before.
Considering Khabib literally almost died trying to make 155 shows it is unnatural and totally unfair to force GSPs body to try it for the first time.
If he is a true FIGHTER he fights GSP where GSP is a legend at 170.
He already has the age advantage he wants every advantage he can get.
I see no reason for GSP to challenge a guy in a lower weightclass he never fought in before.
Bisping was a weak champ who defend against someone not even in top 10 for muh story. GSP promises and bullshit made Bisping have all these fake injuries and hold up the MW division only to embarrass it by losing. And for all that GSP doesn't even hold his word to defend.egg fucking zackly,
who the fuck would give GSP the chance to whoop your champ and then just fuck off and vacate before ever defending.... again
Boy arent you an angry feller!Bisping was a weak champ who defend against someone not even in top 10 for muh story. GSP promises and bullshit made Bisping have all these fake injuries and hold up the MW division only to embarrass it by losing. And for all that GSP doesn't even hold his word to defend.
If anyone has earned the right to pick and choose some fights at the end of their career, it's gsp.Bisping was a weak champ who defend against someone not even in top 10 for muh story. GSP promises and bullshit made Bisping have all these fake injuries and hold up the MW division only to embarrass it by losing. And for all that GSP doesn't even hold his word to defend.
But gsp is way past his prime. He hasn't looked nearly as explosive since his ACL tear. This fight does nothing for either but make them money. If Khabib wins, who cares? GSP is not half the fighter he once was. If GSP wins, who cares? He's a WW and Khabib is a LWN if khabib wins gsp nuthuggers will dismiss the win as:
Gsp past his prime
Colitis
Cut too hard
Long time off
Bad knees...
If it is not at 155 people will discredit the win for gap, and pretend khabib is still undefeated and that a fight above his class should not count.
N if khabib wins gsp nuthuggers will dismiss the win as:
Gsp past his prime
Colitis
Cut too hard
Long time off
Bad knees...
Fighting at a catch-weight between their normal weight-classes seems fair to me as well.The difference is that GSP at 185lbs is solid and in shape with very low body fat.
Khabib at 185lbs carries some extra fat. Khabib's in shape weight is closer to 175lbs.
That said, ten pounds isn't a big difference. They could easily have a catch-weight bout. I remember khabib suggested 162lbs, so directly in-between their two respective weight classes and I think that seems fair and doable.
