And he’s still Khabib’s bitch. Let that sink in.
Your point about moving up is moot. He already moved up and took the title. All the pressure is on Garry. I honestly think Islam already is the best to ever do it as far as skill vs skill. He has no holes in his game. The only time he ever came close to losing is when he was molly whopped by a brillaint picture perfect counter shot and that was, what? 10 years ago now? Dude is the highest level of well rounded that we have ever seen. I just can not like Ian for the life of me. I want to see him as a good fighter and he is but I can not get passed the absolute puppy/monkey/pigeon shit that comes out his dumb ass mouth. From telling Jamahal Hill that his biggest wish in life was that hed been born black, to the wag wife bs, to the shit he just said about women running the world, at some point, you have to be upset with him for not realizing hes a absolute mongoloid retard and shutting all the fucking way up. Dude is a good fighter but hes shit at making good sense.
Lol fighting a young hungry lion title contender who is a head taller than him and has amazing take down defense is moot?
How many ufc double champs moved up and defended?
How many defended against guys that much bigger and younger?
GSP is hands down the UFC GOAT. There’s no argument against it.
Never lost a title fight. Took 4 years off and came back up a weight class just to take the title and did it with a finish.
In the discussion for this era’s goat. yes.
Like other pro sports, I think there are eras and comparing them to each other over the lifetime seems unreasonable to me.
GSP’s lay and pray and teh jab would not work against Islam who is both a superior striker and grappler.
Also GSP waited to poach blind Bisping, would not fight Anderson when he moved up and immediately ran like he did with Hendricks at WW instead of defending against a top MW contender after he beat Bisping.
Doesn’t matter. Islam has a long way to go before earing the title of UFC GOAT. Mind you, GSP lay and prayed people who had been wrestling the entire lives and they could do fuck all against him.
Why because GSP got gifted a TS as soon as he entered the UFC? Islam had to win many times. His UFC winning streak will be 17 I believe. GSP’s was tied with Khabib at 13.
4 title defenses against 9. That’s it. End of story. GSP rag dolled legends. Islam beat the only legend he fought twice, Dustin was a good win, the Moicano was good, but below anyone GSP ever fought in the UFC.
And so what if he was gifted a TS. He obviously was worthy of it.
GSP tapped to strikes against Serra. He retired after robbing Hendricks in a decision and getting his face bashed in. Would not move up to face Anderson. Refused to defend after poaching Bisping.
Notice how Islam is defending against the #1 contender when Georges ran?
GSP folded. His legacy will be surpassed by Islam if he beats Garry.
It’s already arguably been surpassed because Islam smashed his UFC winstreak.
GSP specifically waited for the worst 185er to win the title to move up
He lost to Hendricks, and he wasn’t able to finish people as bad as Dan fucking Hardy. Not to mention he broke Josh Koscheck’s orbital in Round 1 of their rematch and didn’t even come close to finishing him
Oh, and he went on his anti roid crusade when he was about to retire and went off of them
Thiago Alves at UFC 100 was juiced to the max, yet GSP didn’t give a shit because everyone including himself were on PEDs (probably HGH)
You’re either a troll or stupid.
Ahhh the age old “troll” quip when your argument falls flat like GSP did when he tapped to strikes.
Dare to be original.
Was this before or after he made Matt quit from strikes?
Yep, Carlos Condit banged him up pretty bad lol.
Nah you are retarded.
Jon Jones has 13 title defenses.
Islam has like 5.
Wake me up when he cracks 10.
Yeah, he lost that fight
Islam has 4 title defenses.
So if he beats
Garry
Prates
Morales
Brady
Bonfim
Muhhammad
Edwards
Shavkat
Usman
He will have tied it up with Jon.
Islam has to be somewhere up there for his body of work, but he lacks that “in spectacular fashion” factor that most GOAT candidates had.
