Devastating blow to GSP fans as his coach Firas Zahabi says "ISLAM IS OFFICIALLY THE GOAT NOW, sorry Georges"

[TheOGS]

A lot of good points in there.

[Hannibal]

theres a real opportunity for a top level american fighter to change his name to Christian and make this an epic ppv holy crusades.

It’s not Islam’s fault he fights in a more modern evolved version of the sport

GSPs level of competition was every bit as good as the guys Islam has been facing since he won the belt.

True. I don’t see Islam beating prime Jon Fitch or Jake Shields

Islam would knock them out or mog them on the ground. Pathetic striking, American wrestling lol

If I was locked in a room with all those guys, I’d still bring Dan Henderson with me.

[PatrickBateman]

I got Khabib he’ll just dump them on their heads

boomers who still think Atari 2600 is as good as games now

Nobody over 40 thinks that we all admit that NES is the best system that ever was and better than the newest!

@DimethylSulfide

If you put all the GOAT candidates in a room, only one man walks out.

That is the real GOAT, and it ain’t Islam.

This.

@BrockbackMountain

you dont care about confirmed PED use, Jon Jones is your GOAT by like a huge margin still.
Then Anderson or Mighty Mouse, Then GSP is in there, maybe Fedor.

Fedor is the GOAT.
No maybe about it.

Prime Fedor beats the shit out of prime Jones!

@Jacinto

Prime Fedor beats the shit out of prime Jones!

Absolutely.

[KhalilSquarebush]

Jones beats Theodore Emelianenko by Split Decision or stoppage due to cut

[HiTop]

GSP would’ve beat Islam right after beating Garry Saturday night

[Dave_Accu]

Why are we pretending that going up a weight class is a bigger problem than a lighter weight class? If I walk around at 155 and I normally fight at 135, that’s 20 pounds I have to cut which isn’t an easy task. Drains you of all your energy. Easier to fight at a weight class closer to the persons natural weight.

@KhalilSquarebush

Jones beats Theodore Emelianenko by Split Decision or stoppage due to cut

The guy who has never beat an all-time great HW at their peak is assumed to beat the GOAT HW?

[KhalilSquarebush]

Theodore was never great at TDD

He was great off his back, but against Jones that would be like playing Russian roulette

You can make the argument that Vitor almost caught him, but it’s still a tall task

Plus if it’s in Pride rules Jones would be able to knee on the ground

[onepunchJD]

Again I’m not picking a guy who never beat a great HW at their peak to beat the GOAT HW.

Fedor is way better on the ground than Vitor, has some of the best hips and leverage ever, approached with a unique combination of heavy leather and throw attempts that Jones hasn’t seen, has HW power standing and on the ground, is solid in transition, has elite killer instinct, and 10 minute round to initiate serious exchanges.
Plus, Fedor was a sum greater than the whole of his parts.

I can see Jones trying to stay on his bike and use his reach for a decision. The Pride gloves take away some of the eye poke aspect, and the ring favors Fedor more than Jones.

Smart money is on Fedor IMO.
I think he finishes Jones and really hurts him.
