Prime Rory vs Prime GSP

[BC]

That would be like:

 

[Sosua]

GSP dominates him.

Rory is an excellent fighter but overrated.

 

[Chicken lips]

Gsp fans are so pathetic and desperate to keep this dudes name alive that everyday they're littering this forum with garbage thread after garbage thread about a retired fighter. Give it a rest. Dudes are so insecure that black dude Woodley was being talked about as goat over their white Jesus. It's been non stop garbage since talks of Woodley being the we goat started coming up.

TS is no GSP fan. He's actually a well known GSP hater.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

huge fan of both, but GSP decision, rory could possibly take a round or 2 though.

 

[legcramp]

Prime GSP would be champ today.

The GSP who tore down Serra would eat Rory for lunch - the GSP you saw against Fitch was GSP Phase Three.
Phase 1: Debut to Matt Hughes - very confident, tears it down, bright young buck. Hughes humbled him in a classic and that fight evened out GSP bringing him into his prime.
Phase 2: Prime warrior who rocked out Sherk, Mayhem, Trigg, B.J. Penn (prime). He was the first real rock star of MMA, not Tito Ortiz. The "just bleed" eminem fans weren't into MMA yet, and GSP was using his "wise man/karate kid", polite/humble/respectful gimmick. This GSP ended when he was shocked-and-rocked by Matt Serra, who did the unthinkable. Serra taught GSP that he wasn't invincible, but GSP ate his soul in the rematch and Serra was never the same guy again.
Phase 3: To defeat middleweights who're playing the weight cut anorexia game, he needed a better plan and couldn't gas. He needed to fight a patient fight, playing a game of Buehler Blue - that is, a game of stalling, countering, and high striking volume but minimal energy investment. This is the GSP who you're calling prime - I believe Phase 2 GSP and Phase 3 GSP would both beat Rory because GSP is really patient and Rory walks into things and gets hit with stupid stuff. Rory also gets flustered easily when things aren't going his way. This plays into GSP's game.

Easily,

People who say Woodley was on his way to GOAThood of WW were so fucking delusional.

You know, you look back at GSPs record, a win over Fitch at that time was him destroying the consensus number 1 contender who shut every other guy down for years after that and even to this day beat current Rory (the judges were wrong, and i am a massive Rory fan).

during pre usada era though. Gsp wouldn't be GOAT under usada.

You just like talking about black guys.

The Rory who outclassed Tyron in 2014 vs UFC 100 Georges. Who gets it done?

I believe Rory uses his size and distance to control the striking battle and avoid grappling exchanges. Prime Rory’s weakness was always vicious finishers like a Condit or Lawler, which Georges was not during his prime.

Close fight but Rory ends up winning a 48-47 decision IMO. Discuss

50-45 GSP

Well no GSP fan ever brings up race or the skin colour . Its always the insecure other part who likes to bring it .
The "Woodley Goat" talks started from GSP haters / trolls who even they didnt believe it . You are accusing people of racism because they dont agree with baseless and false narratives this just shows which one is the insecure side.
You should relax in your "skin color" obsession and realize that not everyone is racist as you.

 

[GSP_37]

If Fitch can control Rory, GSP sure could.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Rory was good, but GSP is a much, much better fighter. Stronger, faster and he could take a punch. And he's just a way more accomplished fighter. He trained (and still trains) with the best.

Prime GSP still rules the WW, for sure. He's the GOAT.
