Georges St. Pierre - "Khabib did an incredible job, made it look easy, shut down McGregors game"

Khabib was a stylistic nightmare match-up for Conor, especially when you consider his team didn't even bring in any wrestlers, nor even drill any wrestling. Even then it would have been very difficult to stop Khabibs mauling style & pressure.

He is a horrible style matchup, but Kavanaugh recently said in his interview they practised too many wrestling, and not enough striking. So the rest of your statement is false.

 
Khabib was offered 40 virgins for destroying Conor

Yeah calling the Bisping fight "cherrypicking" is absurd.

Most wins in UFC history. Much bigger. High volume pressure fighter who is notoriously hard to take and keep down.

This after being retired for 4 years and despite also coming in as the betting underdog he was only there because it was and "easy" match up for him, lol.

Look at Bispings record too, his worst loss is Tim Kennedy yet people think he's a bum because for some fucked up reason he was allowed too fight Gastelum 2 weeks after getting dropped, GNP'ed and chocked out cold. It's so fucked up that he actually got sanctioned for that fight.
it was called cherry picking because the only reason GSP moved up to 185 was bisping stumbling his way into a championship. had rockhold still been champ, you think georges would've come back to challenge him? he immediately dropped the belt when it was clear he'd have to face whittaker or romero.

neither of those two men had any business fighting for the middleweight title. bisping won it off of rockhold and instead of defending against whittaker, romero, jacare, or even mousasi - these were literally the guys in line for the belt - he did it against a barely ranked henderson. fine, bisping has been around for a long time, he deserves one match against an aging opponent. but after that, he's fighting one of the killers in his division, right? wrong. he takes on a retired welterweight, and actually goes on record saying that there's so many high level challengers in his division, he's not fighting any of them and they should all deal with it. it was absurd.

i think the issue here is that people view the above criticism as invalid, because both GSP and bisping had strong careers. they did, but that doesn't exempt them from judgement. as far as i'm concerned, GSP is the most accomplished fighter in the sport, and one of its best athletes. bisping is an absolute overachiever and an entertaining fighter with a ridiculous resume. but as soon as bisping got hold of the belt, he avoided the top contenders like the plague, and GSP waltzed his way right into an undeserved title shot he never would've taken if anyone else held that belt.

You don't have a bad case there but you can't guarantee GSP wouldn't have tried against anybody else. Weidman is his training partner, Rockhold only held the belt a couple months and it's not like he called out Bisping as soon as he won it.

Bisping knowing he was down to his last couple fights obviously isn't going to say no and would have fought one of those guys after had he won and GSP vacating the belt as soon as he knew he would require an extended leave was the right thing to do.

In the meantime we saw the top guy's fight eachothe and deside a true number 1 and number 2 basically tournament style so imo no harm no foul.

Since the vast majority never really felt Bisping was the true champ anyway GSP beating him then vacating the belt just removed an obstacle and didn't result in Robert being considered a paper champion so i really don't see how this hurt the division in any way.
 
I used to like GSP a lot back in the day but I wish he’d just go back to being retired and quiet. After beating a washed up Bisping he’s got an opinion on everything.

The irony of this post is too much

Weltweight weight GOAT St.Pierre singing the 155 GOAT Khabib's performance and domination over McGregor. He talks about Khabib's amazing wrestling/grappling - seems to be hyping up a potential match up against Khabib at 155.


Khabib Bless.

McGregor has this bad problem with his one size fits all approach. If he'd controlled distance and used footwork to pivot round, he could have won, but he tried to go on the offence and ironically Khabib knew how to diffuse his main weapons.
 
GSP being very wise as usual.
"The North American perspective is not the same as the one in the Caucasus.
When you insult somebody you need to know who you are insulting".

The bolded part is so simple yet most people iin the build-up failed to think about that.
 
Are you calling GSP a conor nuthugger now or what?

Because seems like if anyone posts anything here of someone else talking about Conor you immediately throw the "nuthugger" card like we're not supposed to read the news or talk about it. Because I don't see TS mentioning anything you're accusing him of, so you must be calling GSP that.
Khabib bless and domination over McGregor and his Avatar. Look at all his posts. Maybe you're as dumb as he is.

The icing on that cake was seeing GSP, after 4 years away, headline UFC 217 in what I believe was one of the Top 10 cards of all time. When GSP dropped Bisping with that left hook and then locked in the choke the roof came off the building.
 
Most ironic thing is that people who hate Conor are more obsessed with him than his "nuthuggers". Both do shit posts though.

Obviously not. Look at you here turning this GSP/Khabib thread into a Conor thread. And a second Conor nuthugger can't stop himself from joining in. You're both so mentally I'll that you can't see yourselves doing the thing you're accusing others of.

Pssst. There are no Conor haters. There are only rational human beings who do not share in your sickness.

This thread is not shit. The WW goat GSP opinion about the fight is interesting.
 
GSP was hoping Conor would win so he could hand pick another favorable matchup. This dude isn't looking for glory, he's looking for guaranteed wins.

You must be Russian with your English. Makes sense that Khabib is your god.
