Prime Hendricks who arguably beat GSP

MaulingMyClown said:
Let me preface this with I haven't watched those 2 fights in a while but I remember thinking he lost the 1st fight and thought he won the second, exact opposite of what the judges saw each of those nights. Maybe after kids are in bed and I'm done putting presents under the tree I'll rewatch them while finishing my 8th or 9 bourbon.

I thought Hendricks won both fights pretty clearly.Especially the first fight.I remember scoring 1,2 and 5 for Hendricks in the first fight and 2,3 and 4 for Hendricks in the second fight.I might remember wrong.

Khabib would beat any version of GSP post Serra. I think pre serra gsp was a much better fighter but I still see khabib smeshing him to oblivion.

Pre Serra?? lol Post- Serra GSP was not only bigger physically but that’s the version of GSP that refined his game to the technical master that he was and began his title reign against much better comp than he was facing in his early career.

would outclass Khabib in every way, even in grappling, just like prime hendricks did during his fight against the goat gsp

GSP was known as the best grappler before Hendricks clearly dominate him on that field during their close fight (not that close for me but nevermind)

Hendricks also had a way better striking than Khabib, a tremendous KO power Khabib don't have

I honestly see Pre USADA Hendricks KO khabib or win an easy decision dominating on the grappling/ground

Khabib is a beast but he didn't fought a guy like Prime Hendricks

prime hendricks is for me the only ww who can beat gsp and khabib

he was a monster and a nightmare stylisticaly for everybody

Hendricks lost that fight though
 
I still see Khabib getting the decision actually. Hendricks was huge was at 170, even in his prime it was very hard to make that weight. I still think Khabib would survive the first 2 rounds and eventually get him down and keep him down from the third and on, as I think the odds of Khabib surviving is bigger than Hendricks knocking him out, I mean he has shown his striking is good enough to defend himself from the likes of Barbosa, Justin, Dustin, Conor, Johnson, Iaquinta.
 
GSP won that fight, I had him winning before the controversy. Yeah it was close but he clearly landed more effective strikes overall, maybe not the hardest ones. GSP is not the type of guy who takes shots well and bruises easily does not mean that he lost the fight.

Hendricks fought at 170.
Khabib fought at 155.

End of discussion.

theres no way that the same johnny hendricks that knocked out fitch wouldnt send khabib's 155 lb ass flying across the cage with that left hook or uppercut

That was a straight left that deaded Fitch iirc

I'm not saying he was on roids but it's fight that GSP wanted volunteer testing and the waters were muddy. Then USADA came and Hendericks couldn't beat a middle tier fight after almost beating GSP. Him and Barao are the most suspicious drop offs after USADA. You could argue that Barao lost his invincibility but still.

No Weidman? I think the biggest fall off are Weidman and Hendricks.

what are you trying to prove

typing like this with these double spaced lines

as if this is a 6th grade book report

and what do you have against khabib

since all these threads are thinly veiled shade

that youre trying to throw on the most dominant champion we have ever seen

after he retired, because if he was still fighting, he'd likely be still winning and you would look like a clear hater

so why the closet hate, what's the deal with you
 
I say this as someone who was once a big fan of Hendricks... the revisionism going on about his prime is certainly something interesting to see.
 
Prime Hendrix turns into a complete and utter fucking can overnight if he has to face usada
 
Prime Hendricks ko’s just about any welterweight today.
 
Prime Hendricks is overrated as hell. He barely beat Condit and Koschek. I had him beating GSP, but its a gsp that was on his way out. GSP isnt unbeatable, we have seen him lose.
