Holy brain damage. Poor Bisping
The irony of this considering islams LW title story lol.
Remember when Islam ducked Arman to fight nobody Jack Della Madalana?
Prime GSP would rape Belal, Madallena, Leon Edwards and Islam.
Welterweight is at one of its weakest eras of all time.
Gsp is much smaller than you realize. Size absolutely matters. Gsp is about 5’9 walks around probably 175lbs. He’d be at a major disadvantage
That’s 6 foot 3 well rounded monster Ian Garry to you buddy
So is Shavkat the current goat?
He can be 6 foot 14……….hes still just plain ole Ian Garry.
The internet was telling me Islam was too afraid to move up and was a weight bully now he’s the only fighter in the UFC to move up and win a title then attempt to defend it against a legitimate (6 foot 3) title contender ![]()

Amazing to watch this hypocrisy unfold.

So is Shavkat the current goat?
Does your argument take size into consideration?
Any LW who can reliably take out Shavkat is the GOAT.
Now add to it that Islam is about to surpass Anderson’s longest winsteak in UFC history.

a well rounded 6 foot 3 fighter
What’s your deal with height?
Still no one agrees with op. Lol
Great job guys, let’s keep this going
In your opinion, who would win at WW if Islam and GSP fought in their respective primes?
I think GSP beats every welterweight that has ever fought, in any era.
he lost that fight
Big time
About as pretty as a flash KO gets. The foot work to half step back and counter that fast was awesome. Islam was never aggressive again. Lol.

I may not like it but I have to respect the business decision to take the fight that was not only easier but paid more and put his name in the history books. Double champ. Seems to be the standard to earn the “legend” title these days. Cant really hate on that.
And as much as I dont like Garry, this is not going to be an easy fight for either person. Ian has such a frustrating style and wirey frame to grapple with. And his striking and distance management is second to none at welterweight. Ask Prates. He even had him as close to gone as it gets and still couldnt get it done.

Just for the record…
Islam is a hell of a fighter AND Ian Garry is a tough fight.
He is just 8 title defenses away from us talking about being the goat.
And credit to Islam, he is the best Lightweight of all time, (BJ is second and Khabib is 3rd. )
Yep agreed, i think thats why he avoided the question lol.
