Dont be naïve. He cherry picked bisping. If Luke had beat bisping Gsp doesn't fight for the MW title
Then who does he fight??
Luke would've still been the highest reward with the lowest risk

Yes and developed colitis in the process.
He didnt go up to face Bisping, he went up to win another belt. Had AS been the champion then GSP wouldve fought him, instead he fought the guy that just beat AS and KO'd Rockhold
LMAO if you truly believe that.
Some other easy "super fight". He wont even fight Whittaker who is a blown up WW.Then who does he fight??

That GSP would fight: Rockhold, Weidman, Yoel, Whitaker, Mousasi. He came back because Bisping was the biggest hail Mary champion in a decade.
Because everyone is a medial proffesional on sherdog. It's amazing how his HGH gut can come & go like magic. Luke is just salty he chose bisping to beat GSP, and GSP knocked down& submitted a guy Luke got KTFO by.Have you seen GSP lately, he walks around 183lbs. Still dont know why people doubt the colitis
He spent his prime talking about moving up in weight the "right way", then bisping is champ and he comes out of a 4 year retirement and moves up in weight. They make a big deal about a title defense being in the contract because everyone knew GSP wouldn't fight anyone else at MW. It was just too obvious that he would find excuse to avoid the murders row at mw. He comes up to "make history", gets his cute little narrative while avoiding the tough fights.Have you seen GSP lately, he walks around 183lbs. Still dont know why people doubt the colitis
I think this is a pretty predictable result if we're being objective
The intrigue around this fight was always a little overhyped because I don't think it would've been that competitive imo. Inb4 "GSP was scared" arguments. The fight never happened because GSP didn't want to wreck his body going up and down in weight like Roy Jones Jr did, he is a calculated individual. Anderson nowadays can make Welterweight to fight Conor but didn't want to drop weight to fight GSP? Nonsense....
GSP is a better wrestler with more cardio than Chael, and FAR FAR better on the ground and on the feet with infinitely higher fight IQ than Chael.
Anderson was good off his back but GSP's submission defense and top control is far too good to be triangled by a tired Anderson in the later rounds.
GSP might also outstrike Silva or drop him on the feet due to the immense takedown threat he would pose (Khabib vs Conor but GSP is a way better striker than Khabib)
Not saying it'd be easy for GSP, as he might take a few good shots from Anderson...but in the end GSP would 50-45 Anderson and make everyone wonder why they were so hyped for this.
Delusional.
Silva stuffed Chris Weidman takedowns, Dan Henderson takedowns, what makes you think tiny little Georges St. Pierre would be able to hold that beast down?
Name one fighter that Georges held down with a guard as good as Anderson. Name one fighter that Georges fought that was the striker the level of Anderson.
You cannot name them because they don't exist.
I disagree with you at the 50-45 part it would have been an 50-43 in favor of the goat GSP .I think this is a pretty predictable result if we're being objective

I’m pretty sure Anderson has better kicks than Carlos Condit, yet Condit managed to almost KO GSP.

Not so sure I would give this to GSP 50-45. I think GSPs wrestling would give him an advantage but everyone said the same thing about Hand, and he was submitted, same thing about Chael submitted/TKO. Prime Anderson I think takes this matchup 60% of the time, because it always starts on the feet.
