Does khabib have the power to push gsp back though? (With his hands) Will be very interesting if GSP takes his best and pushes forward

GSP > khabib in the striking, GSP can win just by defending the takedowns, he won't really hurt Khabib, just outpoint him with longer reach jabs and low kicks.

GSP can most likely take khabib down too, but I doubt he can do much on the ground, other than maybe lay in khabib's guard. If I was him, I won't try a heavy wrestling gameplan on Khabib, he ll gass and get slower, Khabib is already arguably one of the fastest LW on earth, if GSP get too slow, he won't be a danger anymore.

Now what it is really interesting is what happen if Khabib takes GSP down. I think it depends where it happens, in the middle of the cage, GSP might just explode and get back up, but against the cage I think he is in a very bad spot. Cage wrestling showed to be GSP only " weackness " in his GOAT tier MMA grappling.

I like em both. I'd love to see the fight but hate to see anyone lose. With that being said I think Khabib wins fairly easy if it does happen. Whoever wins tho cements himself as the GOAT imo.

Khabib is 32 and in his fighting prime. He's also been active the last few years. GSP will be 40 in a few months and last fought in 2017 which is his only fight in the last 7 years.

If Khabib beat GSP back when GSP was the dominant WW champ, then yeah, that would be incredible and would cement him as GOAT, but beating GSP today sure as fuck doesn't.

That's like saying that you have to go and beat Cruz to be the BW GOAT, or Fedor or Cain to be the HW one.

If Khabib came back to fight GSP but not the other contenders at LW, then that's a bad look for him, I think.
 
Khabib should just stay retired. GSP don’t want none. Just news to keep him relevant, as much as I like him. Khabib is not Bisping and GSP knows this.
 
GSP was having cardio issues in the Bisping fight, I doubt it's ideal for him to fight a 5-rounder with Khabib. Otherwise, GSP beats him.

Lemme rephrase that I think beating GSP adds to his already flawless record thus making him THE GOAT.

I know it's not prime GSP but it's still GSP. Having GSP on your record is still badass no matter if he's 39-40 when Khabib does.
 
If Khabib really wants it, Dana may have to give in and match him against GSP.

Don't forget rape alllegations and flashing his cock to horrified women
 
31-0 Khabib with his last 3 wins being Gaethje, GSP and Floyd Mayweather...with the Floyd fight being 11 rounds box 12th round MMA.

there are major frauds in ur logic, GSP is on a 13 win streak, not a losing streak like fedor and cruz, people said the same stupid shit before bisping vs gsp, they all disappeared after GSP won ...
 
GSP is not coming Back IDK why the people dont understand GSP is RETIRED from fighting
 
Habeebs vs full hair GSP is the fight to make!

Sure, a 13 fight win streak, but only one of those wins was in the last 7 years. GSP stopped when he was still in his prime (not saying he should or should not have btw). Fedor and Cruz did not stop in their primes. They're still fighting. That's why they're picking up more and more losses.

Shit, I'm not even sure Cruz got to fight in his prime lol. Think he was injured for most of it.

The point is GSP's not an active fighter anywhere near his prime, so a win over him doesn't mean anything near as much as it would 6-7 years ago.

Beating Usman would be a million times more impressive right now than beating GSP, who is out of his prime and doesn't train to fight.

My point is GSP doesn't thus make Khabib anything. He's already the LW GOAT, but moving up and fighting a guy who was incredible 6 years ago but is now out of his prime and doesn't even train to fight doesn't do anything.

Alright, well Cole Konrad was the dominant bellator HW champ. He retired at 9-0 8 years ago. He isn't active and doesn't train for fights. How good is Stipe really unless we drag Cole out of retirement for him to beat now?

Having GSP on your resume is definitely sweet and all. I can see the appeal of that, but when you take it in context, it just doesn't hold the same shine. Weidman taking out prime Silva isn't the same achievement as when Hall took him out recently.
 
GSP would be at least 40 and retired for another 3.5 years by the time they fight. The man's had one fight in the last seven years. Why bother?
 
I’m astounded that Dana doesn’t want this fight. They’re both retiring after so it’s not like it’ll lower either mans stock as a UFC draw. And it’ll do big numbers.
 
Fucking rights. I'd be more excited to watch Khabib vs GSP for undisputed all-time GOAT than I've been for any other fight in combat sports history.
