Khabib would torch GSP@155...

[suhdude]

Wtf are people smoking when they say GSP would trash Khabib?? Lets look at the facts.

Gsp 36, cutting to 155 for first time, uses traditional double leg and single leg td, jab, very low damage from top control.

Khabib - uses kicks uppercuts to close range, uses trips and cage for TDs, massive damage top control.

Bu bu bu he beat finch, hendricks he beat every wrestler blah blah. We are talking aboit the NOW. The game has evolved.

Div 1 ncaa is a joke compared to the level Khabib is at. A joke. Gsp is good at defending doubles and singles. Very simple stuff. Khabib has a way more diverse wrestling game than any wrestler gsp has fought.

If GSP pulls that telegraphed double leg he will either get subbed very quickly. (Khabib has very underrated sub game) or he will lost top control. If he plans on staying up and trying to pepper Khabib with Jabs thats a bold move cotton we will see how it pays off.

But GSP never fought at 155...khabib should come up, he's the challenger here

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Maybe.

But GSP is NO JOKE with MMA wrestling, and definitely superior with his striking.

That said, WOULD WATCH.

 

[greenhawk]

At 170 the fight would be in GSPs favour but at 155 the weight cut will starch him and i see Khabib gnp him to death.

 

[Striker Fox]

It'd look like the Tibau fight, except GSP can actually strike, unlike the two of them.

Khabib vs Askren would be far more competitive.

 

[fortheo]

I hope we find out! The UFC wants to push khabib in towards Conor, but I hope khabib calls GSP out in his post fight interview, assuming he beats Max that is.

 

[moogie101]

WTF? Who thought GSP was dropping to 155? He'd need to cut a leg off to make that weight. Surely this was about a large for 155 Khabib going up to meet GSP at 170. And there he'll be the one getting torched.

GSP would use a similar game plan to how he beat Shields & Kos, use his grappling to keep it standing & negate Khabib's strength & then jab Khabib's face off.

if you're not going to take the time to read your shit again and edit it then why should anyone take the time to read it?

 

[Hotora86]

I do fucking hope they won't be doing this at 155! Both guys won't be 100% due to the weight cut. Let them bang at 170!!

 

[Large Hound 77]

Kebab gotta mak weight and beat Max first.... two tough tasks there straight off

 

[HUGHPHUG]

this is painful

Khabib beating GSP?

Anybody who isn't well rounded doesn't have a chance against today's GSP. He'll just exploit your weakness, for Khabib, that's keep the fight standing and jab for 5 rounds.

In order to have a chance against GSP, you have to be able to fight him wherever the fight goes. That is what Hendricks had that all the other WWs didn't. He had both wrestling and striking not just one of the two.


Condit - Striking but no wrestling.
Nick - Striking but no wrestling.
Fitch - Wrestling but no striking.
Koscheck - Wrestling but no striking.
Hendricks - Both wrestling and striking.

Oh really? And Khabib fought who to prove this exactly? What top flight wrestler did he ever fight like Kos that had huge power in their hands? And the game has not evolved. GSP came back after 4 years out and beat the MW champ. And the WW division was far stronger when GSP was in his prime years ago..

Alves
Fitch
Kos
Hughes
Penn
Condit etc.. Rory might be the best WW and he is in Bellator. Has a win over the UFC champ..

Nobody in GSP's run ever beat him in a contenders fight and then left for a rival promotion.

 

[chinarice]

I can't help but lol at people thinking GSP can't beat a grappler with little to no striking.

GSP would make khabib look like a b level fighter.

 

[tkotom]

Yeah, if GSP starves himself close to death then yeah, maybe Khabib has a chance.

GSP would kill him at any weightclass. GSP is the superior fighter in every facet of MMA.

 

[timoteo]

"If GSP pulls that telegraphed double leg" you really know how to sounds like a retard OP. Post on your real account next time or did it get banned because you said some other retarded shit?

 

[RemyR]

Well GSP would probably have to kill himself to make 155 so I’ll give you that TC.

I’m sure Khabib could beat Stipe at 155 as well.

 

[rurouni]

Yeah, b/c he would rather die than move up a weight class

Powerful southpaw who could take away the jab with hand fighting, and has/had strong tdd. No other WW could have done what he did against GSP that night. If you built a fighter to take out GSP at WW, it would be Johnny pre-USADA.
