welterweight has gotten worse

[usernamee]

It's just the UFC dying

is normal

 

[Hellowhosthat]

i dont think he would need to, shields by sub early and easily

He needs to be able to take him down for that.

 

[Frank Edgar]

ya based on their body of work and accomplishments, not just saying oh theyre on steroids like a total retard

Well based on their body of work Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Frank Shamrock, Tito Ortiz, and Chuck Liddell would TOTALLY run through modern guys!

The division has been in decline for years. Which is why it's silly when every ww champ gets crowned as the best ever.

Nah man, it's still gsp.

 

[capnlarge]

I think the current crop of WW are significantly less marketable but have a more well-rounded skillset

 

[Mal Intentions]

He needs to be able to take him down for that.

standing guillotine

 

[Bouboumaster]

GSP and maybe Shields would run threw the division (I think that Usman can stop Shields tho, he has a great gas tank and he's a formidable grappler himself, but GSP is in his own tier)

 

[Pascal Bergeron]

I don't know what you think Fitch, Shields or Hughes would do to Colby, none of them are taking him down and he's a lot better than them on the feet.

Rda took colby down colby ttd is not that good

It is a bit unfair to compare the 2021 guys to guys in a time where steroids were «allowed«. It is just not the same kind of guys. Todays top 3 would probably not even be top 10 in that time.

 

[chaos_36]

Usman beats all of them (GSP included)
Colby beats all of them (minus GSP)

 

[TheMessiah]

Usman and Colby destroy all of them
