So GSP has the record for winning 33 straight rounds....

[Bubson Bubba]

Pretty sure Cormier and Khabib have the longest active streaks in this regard.

This.

Yup I can definitely see both of these guys beating the record.

33 rounds which is GSP average for 6-7 fights

A better fighter that would be average 12 fights.

So GSP takes twice as long to get nothing done.

Swamp logic?

What? Didnt he lose rounds vs Shields and Hendricks?

They're kind of picking and choosing which scorecards to ignore, I guess.

Two judges had GSP-Condit as 50-45 St. Pierre, but D'Amato scored it 49-46.

For GSP-Shields, only one judge scored it 50-45, while the others had it 48-47.

The 33 rounds aren't an active win streak. It started with the first Kos fight and ended during the Shields fight.

Logic for one who doesn't settle for just good enough to get by.

If you count for every time a judge gave him the round he's won potentially every round form his loss to Serra to the second round of Hendricks which is 47 I think

That will probably never be broken

 

[redbrownhaze]

He was obsessed with winning rounds

This was during his dark times

 

[MCS]

not sure what you bracketed part means?

If you win via finish in the 1st that would not break your streak. You won that round.

Some hint at the judges scorecards, I believe Sonnen's comment of never losing a round started that (or, at least, made it a popular opinion, even if it's dumb).

 

[RedRackham]

Kind of a shitty record though. He would be considered better if he didn't win so many in a row.

It would be better if he fought all those rounds and didn't win them all?

Or it would be better if he finished fights more?

I'm sorry to nit pick if English isn't you first language.

 

[FreCan]

It's a hard record to break.

You need a combination of a fighters who's good enough to get a winning streak going while not being good enough to finish fights.

 

[Hanri]

Fedor won 42 rounds straight

 

[BrainLeakage]

Fedor won 42 rounds straight

Fedor is GOAT.

 

[pincmil]

All those won I guess between Koscheck 1 and Hendricks fights.

 

[BulldogWrestler]

omg guise!

Don't forget all but two of those rounds were title fight rounds and were against opponents ranked in the top 10 at the time of the fight and/or against another reigning UFC champion. Big difference.

I updated the source as the article was written prior to the streak ending...
The eight men (9 opponents since he fought Kos twice) he's faced during that streak

 

[JayPrimetown]

Khabib is about 15 rounds. Cain V. is at 11 rounds (IIRC).

Cormier's current streak in the UFC is 7 rounds, but if you include Strikeforce fights he is nearing 20 straight rounds won.

No one else is even worth discussing.

Probably a lot easier for a challenger to beat than a champ.

Cormier is getting close.
When's the last time Barao lost a round?

 

[jx820]

That stat simply isn't true.

That's like saying "undefeated since their last losses".
