Compared to Conor who beat verified GOATS to get his?
Gsp doesn't beat goats, he is one

McGregor fought a fighter that was/is a legitimate Top 5 fighter. Most of us are unhappy with McGregor for a different reason.
GSP specifically picked out Bisping because he knew that Bisping is old and not a Top 5 form fighter. (and now we know he never intended to fight legitimate Top 5 MW fighters).. HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Nothing against him, but he beat a past prime bisping. Who wasn't even a top 5 fighter. On some level we have to take off the rose coloured glasses and see that win for what It was.
It was a good win and a good performance having been off for 4 years but It certainly shouldn't have been a championship fight.
We all know Bisping was the equivalent of Matt serra when It comes to credibility as a champion.
That said, no hate on him for not staying at middleweight. No reason for him to fight the killers of that divisionn at this stage of his career,
If that's the case then BJ and Conor shouldn't be considered two division champions either but they are cause they were.
i.e. Conor.. at least Luke, Serra and Holly tried to defend the belt. Conor has never tried in his entire career.What everyone should ask themselves is if a champion is really a champion if they don't defend their title (i.e. Rockhold, Serra, Holm)
So then the UFC has yet to have a champion of two divisions in your mind cause the only other fighter to accomplish that feat is Randy Couture and he never successfully defended the LHW belt.I don't consider them either.
doesnt work like that buddy.He announced he doesn't want to come back to MW today.
He will never be considered a 2 division champ in my eyes.....Whitaker was the champ the second he beat Jacare and Romero......
Calling GSP a 2 division champ cheapens the accomplishment.....
Bisping sat on the belt for 518 days (17 months) without ever defending against a top MW. Thats enough time for 4 of 5 fights. Meanwhile, Whitaker beat Jacare and Romero. Whitakers belt is the real one.
When is mcgregor coming back to featherweight
If you consider GSP the true champ, I think you need to think a little harder.To be the true champ you have to beat the true champ. Am I right?
Whittaker has yet to do that. So in the meantime he can be other “other” MW champ. No longer interim though....the title Dana creates and gets a hard on for.
Yes, and yet It's still quite clear he's not at his absolute best. He's been fighting for 13 years, you really think he's still In his prime?Past prime Bisping? He was on the best winning streak of his career and by far. Go to bed.

I've already said quite a lot In this thread. What else do you really want me to say? No point really repeating myself.Really? That’s all you’ve got?
Christ, sherdog has gone down the shitter. At least respond with something half way intelligent
