Khamzat vs GSP

[CroCopsLHK]

I dont know where this idea came from. I suppose Borz is a little larger..

Who do you choose prime for prime though?

gsp is smaller but i wont bet against him

depends if its drug tested or not

 

[piropiro]

Never bet against prime GSP ... too thorough in his preparation, and top-tier abilities everywhere (wrestling, grappling, striking, strength and conditioning, fight IQ).

Khamzat likely too big given the elite talent (talent gap not enough to make up for the size gap) but still I would give prime GSP a reasonable chance to find a way.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Probably a close decision win for Khamzat

 

[VinceArch]

I'd pick a prime GSP.

 

[Tayski]

Khamzat is too big for GSP. Khamzat is a middleweight that can fight at lightheavyweight. GSP struggled to bulk up to middleweight to fight Bisping and that lead him to having serious health issues in his gut/colon. Meanwhile Khamzat toyed with a large DDP who's huge for MW.

I also don't see how GSP could really threaten Khamzat be it in the grappling or striking.

I'd bet on Khamzat and I say that as a GSP fan.

khamzat. skill, size and strength gsp has never faced before.

the person closest to khamzat that gsp fought was koscheck and we can agree he is no khamzat.
the next closest would be sherk, hughes and jake shields.... just lol when comparing them to khamzat.

these opponents of gsp wouldn't even match up against Islam.

Maybe topuria, so GSP in todays mma would need to be a LW or FW to be competitive. He is still the GOAT though.

 

[WalterSobchak]

GSP by whatever he wants.

Imagine Khamzat losing vs Hendricks and Serra. In his prime.

Nope, can't imagine that.

 

[MMACro]

At 185 Khamzat easily
At 170 would be closer,could go either way

we saw GSP struggle with Condit's height/reach. Now imagine Khamzat who is built similarly but with twice the strength. I don't see how GSP would even go about engaging. Just a nightmare matchup for him.

 

[Skarsgard]

Assuming this is at 170, GSP all day. Khamzat has looked less than impressive against other grapplers with decent stand-up and prime GSP is better than anyone he has fought.

 

[Lou Duva]

GSP via ape technique and more riddum

 

[Nobru]

the jab wins

GSP via UD

 

[Gregoire1]

GSP 70/30

 

[Brigfa2]

In 170 GSP wins by being better, in 185 Khamzat wins by being bigger

 

[Lee Danger]

GSP takes round 3-4-5

 

[AmbassadorFright]

Imagine Khamzat losing vs Hendricks and Serra. In his prime.

Nope, can't imagine that.

Nearly lost to a past prime Lightweight sized Gilbert Burns

 

[mister piscadinha]

dude was on his way to lose a decision against old ass usman and sherclowns think he could beat prime georges.. crazy shit

Imagine Khamzat losing vs Hendricks and Serra. In his prime.

Nope, can't imagine that.

hendricks at ww would literally be a nightmare matchup for chimaev
