The fight that defined GSP

[Brandon Wilson]

This is why everyone says GSP fanbois are so sensitive. You don’t need to get so defensive. Shields bloodied your boy and the fight was closer than you’re selectively remembering.

Shields outgrappled Maia and outstruck GSP. Deal with it.

Yes, out struck GSP. My oh my. Maybe lawnbowling is more suited to you.

Good luck with that.

I dare you to use that as your sig.

I wouldn't mind that. moniker

You know GSP was negotiating with the UFC to come back and fight, for at least 2 months before Bisping was even champion right? Of course, that doesn't fit with your narrative of him vulturing over coming back to fight Bisping, so you'll ignore it.

Just another reason GSP is GOAT I guess, his psychic abilities as well.

April 2016, Bisping won the title in June.

GSP ONLY TALKED ABOUT BISPING AND FIGHTING WHITAKER if he won (concerning 185 title )and went back on his word in fighting Whitaker.

The rest ?????? Am I going back and forth with people who dont own brains ?

I'm not allowed to have the opinion that GSP isnt THEE GOAT but I still call him one of the goats ?

Am I sleeping ?

 

[Franklin U.]

You need to rewatch that fight if you think that Shields outstruck GSP. Stop spewing lies.

The fact that ,lol,Jake Shields stood with Gsp in another 25 minute decision doesn't exactly speak volumes for him being thee greatest cage fighter of all time( and it was competitive at that).

I thought Conor fans were the only unreasonable people to debate with.

Oh God - I shouldnt of said that.

For the record I'm a GSP fanboy, nutthugger BMF casual who thinks GSP is one of the goats. Not thee goat. But I'm not one to discredit other fighters/goats to get my own personal beliefs across as to why my goat/fighter is better.

 

[justalurker]

Grandpa Bisping did way better against GSP then I orginally thought he would.

With ONE FUCKING EYE!

 

[johnnybeebob]

GSP thought he was a solid striker, he also thought Matt Serra was a big can and decided he will play around for a round, to test his striking skills. He didn't go for a single take down, he thought this fight is too easy and a good opportunity to test his striking skills, maybe get a nice KO highlight.



He never fought on his feet again. This was the last time he played the striker. In the rematch he would take Serra down in the first 2 seconds and repeatedly take him down when Serra stood up.
This was the fight that turned GSP into the ufc wrestling control freak and according to many the most boring ufc champ to this day with 0 finishes.

Didn’t he strike with KOS the entire time and turned his orbital bone into dust ?

That theory sounds good on paper but I dont have a goat ( and its certainly not gsp if I did). This is a fight forum and sometimes in debates - discredit is your choice of word- I will CALL THEM AS I SEE THEM.If I happen to " discredit" a bisping or even a gsp ( under right situation) , I'll speak my mind.

Ladies and gentleman , for the 166th time ( outside bisping and consider it privileged information so consider yourself privileged), I dont fighter bash - you wish the topic and i dish it.

There s not one unreasonable word/opinion that comes from my posts.

That's a sneaky way to extend yourself but you're doing it with the wrong mofo.

 

[The Schmoop]

A lot of smart replies here but again a one eyed one dimensional bar brawler over hand right predictable swinging koscheck lasted 5 rounds.

How long did BJ last?

Again, more BS narrative. Completely ignoring that GSP was (literally) blind for half the fight from Shields trying to ram his fingers through GSPs skull. Scratched cornea after the fight. I guess that happened from Jakes amazing striking. It only became competitive after GSP was blind.

On top of that, you act like Shields is some scrub. Yes, his striking is sub par. The guy beat up Dan Henderson, and outgrappled Maia.

 

[Franklin U.]

Uhhhh- fairly certain his prosthetic eye came to be right underneath 201l9.Another
Welterweight fatselum knocked him out cold in 2017.....ending him for good.

Again- let's set things for what and when they are.

* context * * story telling *

My post 100% referenced the stand up of Shields that gsp shouldve been able to handle .....and finish him for that matter.I didnt take anything else away from Jake in context of my post.

" He beat up Dan Henderson ".

I dont even have to go any further.

Fight that defined GSP was Kos fight.

He came back new and improved and risen to the TOP.

Hit a nerve huh? lol
It's all good. Doesn't matter how you slice it, it's all the same. At least you admit to discrediting GSP and Bisping. Ever stop and think that's why these GSP discussions are turned into useless debates and why you're always trying to defend yourself by getting your own points across "speaking your mind?" There's people who appreciate him and his achievements and then there's ones who delusionally debate when there's really no need to. But I get it. Like you said "it's a fight forum"

What do you expect from shitting all over GSP's career and fighting style all the time though? For that matter, the same handful of you guys? That his fans are going to say "You know Franklin U, since you have (whatever belt color) and you're obviously more hardcore...I'm going to drink your koolaid and disregard all facts and truths and believe in you?"

Anyways, you keep doing you bruh. You and the couple others are usually good for a laugh or two.

Again - wrong guy ,brah. That's ok - I enjoy handling people who are well written " trying " to get certain points across by putting words in my mouth ( thatd be u) ,sherdoggers who are respectful but need to brought along on important variables of this great sport and flat out shertards. " shertards" but .....my shertards.

I've never " shit all over gsp " . If you consider my opinion of him getting complacent and his output/ style being what it was then I don't know what to tell u- except saying that is giving me a bad look and people are actually reading your verbiage.
Again- I still consider gsp one of the goats , regardless of the tentative game planning that became his way. He beat who they put in front of him but it would of been nice to see a finish or 3 over the plethora of welters that HE WAS HEAVILY favored to beat. Then I could compliment him on his fight IQ and taking best path to beat his opponents----- but that wasnt the case. Again- still 170 goat but context holds alot of water with me.

Yes. Beat up Henderson.

Significant strikes: 73 to 29 Shields
Total strikes: 280 to 63 Shields
TD: 4 to 0 Shields
Sub Attempts: 7 to 0 Shields
Passes: 16 to 0 Shields

By every metric imaginable, Shields beat Henderson up. Henderson even landed at least 1 H-bomb on Shields, and couldn't put him away. This from a guy that KOd Fedor.

Those numbers look great on paper and I watched the fight and i give Jake credit for implementing his game plan but " beat up" just doesnt give that fight justice. He put himself in great position to smother Dan and strike him with innocuous strikes ( trying to be nice) but he absolutely frustrated Henderson for entire fight. Imagine if Jake had any savage in him- then he would've finished a prime hendo.

And I'll even forget the fact that you mentioned "I dont have a goat ( and its certainly not gsp if I did)" It's normal with you guys. But then again, I'm not wrong in saying that he has one of, if not the best fight IQ's because of the dominant way he man handled his opponents. Even before he got clipped behind the ear, dropped and eventually tapped to strikes from Serra.

Ok -- he does have a great fight IQ but I cant put it where u put it. I'm sorry. He actually decided to stand with Condit ( and learned about scar tissue and how his gave way....in another decision win but it was prime condit and a great fight ). Rigg took him behind the woodshed and his diehards actually cried scar tissue but when the after fight pics came up - no legs to stand on- with all that swelling ALL THE FUCK OVER. God damnnnnn- ouch.

Again, one of the goats but not thee goat .Just my opinion ( I'm not " shitting " all over him. I calls em as they go down. These aren't " unreasonable " opinions. )

I agree. One of the goats. The WW goat. I don't think there will ever be one decisive goat, but then again, that's always open for debate. Plus it doesn't make sense imo to have a stand alone goat of all weight classes.

I also agree with your Rigg's comment and I hate having to feel like I have to say "and I'm a GSP fan" but I felt Hendricks won that fight. It just so happens GSP got the Champions nod. Not the first time it happened in a fight but it is what it is.
