Dana said so TWICE in the post fight presser.
I always thought that's pretty clearly GSP, but maybe I am biased. So what's your opinion?`
I will disregard the fact that GSP was a two division champ because technically that bears no impact on his WW legacy (I believe it does, but that can be disputed).
I will not compare the amount of title defenses or the number of championship fight wins because Usman could argue he had to wait longer for a ts.
Just for the record the number of championship fight wins is 12 for GSP and 6 for Usman.
Let's just compare UFC wins at WW:
GSP has 20 wins at WW, Usman has 15.
Both have two losses at WW.
GSP beat every man he ever faced and avenged his two losses in devastating fashion. Usman never avenged his losses against Leon.
GSP beat several fighters who can be in top 10-20 GOAT conversation (BJ, Hughes, Shields). Usman's best wins are Colby and maybe Tyron. Outside these two he spent too much time beating Masvidal.
Seriously, am I overlooking anything or is there not even the slightest argument that Usman has the greater WW legacy than GSP?
