Welterweight is a joke

[mister piscadinha]

isn't matt serra a former FW? He has better striking than chimaev? And Islam got ko'd in his 2nd ufc fight, GSP got ko'd by matt serra after he won the title, much more embarassing

there was no FW in the UFC at the time
also yes, serra was a better striker than chimaev
chimaev is dangerous, he has ko power but thats it, he's not a great striker at all
he basically robbed burns, who's basically 2020's matt serra

islam got koed by a bum, gsp got koed by a very good fighter

And Michael Jordan would still dominate the NBA..
Who the fuck cares ageing is real, having fantasy that someone could never age is pointless.

 

[HeffDoesWant]

I never understood the belief in Usman as some unstoppable force.

 

[IloveTHIS]

Prime Usman got melted by Edwards and then lost a five round decision right after.

Im going to ask you as directly as possible and I demand a genuine answer.

you dont really think Usman was in his prime....do you?

 

[JKS]

WW is a great division right now and you have some great talent on big streaks. The division has certainly been elevated after the Usman era. The top 10 has some very impressive fighters.

Belal *champ 10-0-NC
Edwards 12-1-NC
Shavkat 7-0 in UFC
Jack Della 8-0 in UFC
Brady 7-1 in UFC
Buckely 6-0 at WW
Garry 8-1 in UFC

And you got guys like Prates 5-0 and Morales 6-0 just about to enter the top 10 and replace the older fighters.

WW has done a great job in reinventing itself with new top fighters that are performing well.

Marty Snoozecan nearly lost to Colby twice. Those were his best wins. Beating up Journeyman Judas twice doesn’t prove anything. Snooze’s other signature accomplishment was getting KO’d by the second most boring fighter in the division and losing the trilogy. Belal mopped the floor with that guy. I’d say the Bugeye Belal era is a better.

Belal era? He's never defended

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

I don't think it would be iffy at WW. GSP would tool him in the standup. Khamzat's struggles against guys like Burns and Usman don't bode well for him against GSP.

Khamzat would be he'll on wheels for Georges. If Serra, Penn, Condit and Riggs can get to Georges on the feet so can Khamzat.

Khamzat having bad cardio is the biggest myth on sherdog. Look at the stats of his fight with Burns in round 3 and tell me that's aomeone with poor cardio.

Look man, I'm one of GSP's biggest fans on this site. Literally 1 of my 2 favorite fighters ever along with Wanderlei Silva. Khamxat is a monster with a much more threatening game than ol juiced up Johnny.. his grappling is 10x better than Hendricks'.

People just dislike Khamzat so they can't be impartial about how good he is

He does lack cardio to match his output from the 1st rnd, but in pushing such a hard 1st rnd he depletes his opponent to the point of equal.

GsP would be forced into a situation he tried to avoid his entire fight career. Drag out wars is not a fight GsP thrives in

 

[CatchtheseHands]

The only reason Usman isn’t champ anymore is because he’s too old now. Prime usman would still melt all of these welterweights. Now we are stuck with cock eyed inbred belal , the most boring champion to ever hold the belt

Welterweight is a joke now. Prime usman melts all these bums

Wow it's fine to have an opinion but is the fighter bashing necessary?

Yes? If he had won you would say he was still in his prime

 

[tritestill]

Wow, what a stupid thread

 

[orca]

Oh yeah?! The only reason GSP isn't champ is cuz he got old and retired! If he hadn't gotten old and retired he'd still be champ.

gsp didnt even gave hendricks a rematch
hmm i dont know why

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

there was no FW in the UFC at the time

islam got koed by a bum, gsp got koed by a very good fighter

Serra is a better striker?

You compared Burns to Serra. What a joke

 

[Lawrence]

Buckley is cleaning out the rank squatters..

We may not have a Goat in the mix right now, but the division is about to be reenergized

 

[IloveTHIS]

Yes? If he had won you would say he was still in his prime

No I wouldn't. His knees were absolutely shot to shit, long before he finally lost

 

[mister piscadinha]

Serra is a better striker?

You compared Burns to Serra. What a joke

so khamzat is a great striker now?

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

so khamzat is a great striker now?

Better than Serra.

 

[mister piscadinha]

Better than Serra.

just two guys with power and decent technique

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

just two guys with power and decent technique

No, it's not that simple.

 

[mister piscadinha]

No, it's not that simple.

it is, khamzat is a mediocre striker
