Prime Hendricks who arguably beat GSP

[TheSpider]

GSP is around the same size as Khabib.

To say he's "much bigger", is dishonest... he has nicer muscles but their size is not much different. 5-10 lbs tops.

The size difference between GSP and Silva was much greater.

Lol

 

[Yojimbonufc]

Can he get to LW though?

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

I don't get it. Did Hendricks secretly fight at lw?

 

[chinarice]

That is some next level delusion.

Silva fought at WW, GSP never fought at LW IIRC.
Clearly the size difference is NOT how you describe it.

..... GSP wasn't even hitting 170 in TKO/UCC. He was under... Khabib fought at WW....

Clearly the size difference is NOT how you describe it.

Totally agree, Kahbib was smart to get out when he did. Everybody who follows this sport knows that when two great wrestlers meet it's ALWAYS a striking match, and Kahbib's striking is just average for the division.

I'm a Kahbib fan, mostly for his mindset, but I still don't see why he's lauded as the greatest ever... he reminds me a lot of Matt Hughes--very strong, and mentally confident, with crushing wrestling, not much else.

When are people gonna say "did good against" instead of "arguably beat"? lol. Unless it's an official "w" you didn't beat him/her/it etc.

 

[thobra]

Of course he would. He is much bigger. A different weight class.

Prime Hendricks beats every WW ever except perhaps prime Usman

“Prime” Hendricks or “pre-usada” Hendricks

“Prime” Hendricks or “pre-usada” Hendricks

When people say "Prime Hendricks", they mean Pre-Usada Hendricks. Name one fighter who fell off as hard as Hendricks once USADA came? And Hendricks was just going into his prime years. He was only 31 years old when USADA was implemented in July of 2015. He was KO'ing everyone and then once USADA was implemented, couldn't make weight, had no power, and went 1-6. Find another fighter who was Champion or even top 5 fighter who fell off at the age of 31-32 like Hendricks?

if you had to pick a fight where all the stars aligned for hendricks that would be the GSP fight

his fans were so impressed all they seen was victory .. even when GSP got his hand raised <Lmaoo>

 

[Islam Imamate]

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

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
Discuss

He fought Gaethje though. Gaethje might not be as good a wrestler but he is a far better striker than Hendricks.
