2006, three round fight.
BJ's boxing completely dominated GSP on the feet in rounds 1 and 2. GSP had a takedown in round 2 but BJ got back up, and GSP had a nice slam takedown in round 3. Again, BJ got back up. BJ took GSP down in the 3rd and GSP got right back up.
One area GSP dominated was in the leg kicks. He landed a lot, though BJ didn't seem affected.
GSP's face was completely wrecked from BJ's boxing.
Going into the third, it was pretty clearly 2 rounds to 0 for BJ by modern scoring. Joe Rogan says GSP knows he has to do something, meaning it was likely 2 rounds to 0 even by 2006 scoring. GSP landed a takedown in the last minute of the fight, which got a huge crowd pop, and likely stole the judge's cards. BJ went for a crazy omaplota at the end and landed undefended shots to the face, which also got the crowd going.
I would score this 3-0 BJ possibly give GSP the 3rd. There's no way GSP won that fight by any modern standard.
