No, it's not subjective. it's statistics; he has the same number of finishes over ww fighters as Ben askren does. It's a sad fact.
I like gsp but you can't look at his highlight reel or legacy and say that his inability to finish fights as champion is irrelevant. It's part of painting the picture of greatness. Gsp valued safety, control, and defensive fighting more than being able to get rid of a guy quick. Getting rid of a guy quick is a desirable skill to have in a fight. Gsp didn't either value that or wasn't skilled enough to pull out a finish every once in a while. I like gsp but don't be ignorant of how legacies are remembered.
"Georges St. Pierre’s five-round unanimous-decision victory over Jon Fitch that took place at an August UFC 87 event ranks as the front-runner for the 2008 Fight of the Year.
That’s according to MMAjunkiecom readers who voted in last week’s “Inside MMA” poll.
