He literally cleared his division from 2006-2013. Then attained another in 2017. He literally has nothing to prove at WW. If you're Goat - what else is their to prove? You can believe he's the greatest of his era, cause he was, but he still the best WW of all time and this indisputable with facts, and even GSP haters admit this, as to why you cannot that's an answer you have to find yourselfmWhat I'm seeing is justification for everything GSP does without applying any sound logic.
+ Woodley did ask for the Nate fight (as well as a bunch of non sense fights) and he gets a ton of shit for it, but at least he is doing it from the weight class he belongs in. GSP is skipping up and down and everywhere but WW to find fights when its WW that is his legacy and claim to fame.
+ I don't doubt for one minute that Dana has alot to do with all of this. The lengths UFC went to finally have the on again off again Bisping/GSP fight is proof of this.
What I want to say most of all is that GSP's legacy is as the best WW (and perhaps overall fighter) **OF HIS ERA** . If he wants to add to his legacy the best way to do it is to prove that his greatness truly extends beyond his era.. so fight the best of this generation otherwise just rest on you're laurels.. and say you're coming back to do some fun fights in different weights for your fans.. don't try to sell us that this circus adds to your legacy (his legacy of a WW).
Despite everyones obvious loyalty to GSP I can't help but think you would all love and prefer to see GSP defeat Woodley rather than to see GSP defeat Nate at LW. But you know deep within that GSP would get absolutely smoked against Tyron.
As yes, this thread is 20+ pages long because everyone is loyal to gsp. You see justification, because he HAS more justification than practically anyone. If you can't see the just so adamant at dismantling his reputation in this thread, then you're clearly not looking hard enough.
And once again, his legacy as WW is the GREATEST, meaning there is nothing left to show, and he's adding to his MIXED MARTIAL ARTS legacy.
He didn't need a test run at MW cause UFC needed a PPV star, and attempts to become two division champions sells. He also was supposed to defend, but contracted colitis, if you want to Eddie bravo it up and call bullshit, more power to you.
I just find it funny he contracts something that makes it difficult to maintain weight and rumors of LW/ pictures of him slimming down didn't kind prove it. You know the same photos people use to post "hgh" injection sites? Again that's one of those " it doesn't fit muh narrative" type ordeals.
His claim to fame is MMA not WW. Boxing GoATs never stayed in 1 class.
