people love to talk shit when the King is not in the castle
where was Robbie all this time that George wa son top? oh yeah getting choked out in strikefarce.
Eh, almost nobody gets held down in high-level fights anymore. Takedown defense has improved a lot. It's like how nobody gets beaten by kimura anymore at the highest levels. Pat's probably right, as he usually is.
When was the last time a guy was held down for half or more of a championship fight? Sonnen - Silva?
I think Lawler stands a good chance against current GSP. I mean GSP got destroyed by an ever improving Hendricks
Kos gets koed by about anybody nowadays, Rory is not on the same level as GSP and GSP is probably even better than Hendricks at MMA wrestling (and has much better cardio). I'm not saying Robbie isn't good, just stylewise he is not the most difficult matchup for GSP. Shields was, also Penn and Hendricks.
But thats due to him being able to rag doll people for 5 rounds and I just don't see him keeping Lawler on his back. GSP is far and away one of my favorite fighters and I would be happy to see him win that fight I just think from their past fights and gauging their strengths and weaknesses its a bad match up for GSP.
