It’s pretty rare at this level.

Long time defending champ never being knocked out?

Tapping to strikes with Matt Serra was wise as it preserved his chin and he didn’t take permanent damage like many other fighters have.
 
It's pretty impressive considering he survived 10 rounds vs Shields and Fitch without being KO'd. Amazing

He would've been knocked out if he didn't tap though. I mean I guess it's a nice little factoid, but it just feels a bit weird to praise him for that when Duran is crucified to this day for saying NO MAS to Leonard.
 
*even closed out his career against a former 205 guy that knocked down Silva and also finished champion Rockhold...
 
And yet Rogan still thinks GSP has CTE due to the aliens discussion.

Fighters develop CTE because of their training not just the 2-3 times that they fight in a year.
 
Impressive indeed but not as impressive as never having lost like the LW GOAT!
 
Nothing to do with OP but it would have been fun if he came back against Resurrected Ruthless
 
He didn't tap against Serra. If the fight wasn't stopped, Serra would've gassed out and GSP would've recovered and knocked him out.
 
Tko is still pretty much the same imo, except you don't go out cold.

He did tap, but right after big John had already stopped it.
