Beat a legend and made it look easy.

one of the best title winning performances

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Great video. That was GSP at his best.

 

[Madeline Chelsea]

On this day: The welterweight GOAT was crowned.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Damn. We touch Father Time with teh jab but he’s undefeated. Just when you know he can’t finish you, Rickson by armbar

 

[DOMMA]

An absolute beatdown. Hughes had nothing for GSP.

[WHITE ANDERSON]

this guy was a killer before he tapped to strikes and played it safe

[Fioretti]

Easily GSP's most impressive performance.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

This was before GSP turned into George “No Rush” St Pierre

 

[mmaknight]

A stellar performance with a top tier win. Despite a setback, St. Pierre goes on to be one of the best. Great stuff.

 

[TheChance]

I was 15-16 at the time.

LOL are you so bad at math that you can't give what exact age you were 15 years ago today?

 

[VinceArch]

LOL are you so bad at math that you can't give what exact age you were 15 years ago today?

Yep. Math sucks and is for nerds.

 

[Shoryukick]

Didn't someone make a thread about how you should never knee or kick when the opponent goes for a takedown?

That kyokushin switch kick really stunned Hughes. What an evolution in GSP for this fight!

How many major fights did GSP have in between his loss to Hughes in the first fight? He seems like a different person here.

 

[Chubi]

Looks like GSP would be a FW and Hughes a BW nowadays.

 

[DoctorsStoppage]

He still got paid around 10k in this time frame
