GSP: Is he the second greatest MMA fight ever?

[Rob_Floyd]

Fedor got dominated in the second round, that's all. He finished that round with a submission attempt, which isn't exactly a sign of quitting.

There is no reason to think that he wouldn't have answered the bell for the third round had the doctor not stopped it.

[Stoo]

Dont bring reality into this Rob, you will only confuse him

[Beekeeper]

Ya its too bad Fedor didn't get a chance to prove himself against true champions like Mir and Lesnar, I guess we will never know...

By no means disrespect as this is fact, Fedor had it, but doesn't have the longevity to back those accomplishments up.

Wait what?
If we start at longevity and im not counting Fedors BS loss to Kohsaka then Fedor has been going nonstop for 9 years and Silva been going for 6 years

When Pride died Fedor still won over Andrei, Timmy and Rogers.

Who did Fedor duck?

Fedor beat everyone even at their own game he went to the ground with Nog and stood up with CC and still won

Im as huge of a Silva fan as the next guy but Fedor is higher up on the GOAT list than Silva

GSP is a distant 3rd, and hasn't finished anyone in 4 years. I rate Anderson Silva over Fedor because of longevity, and because he is a Champion in two different eras. No disrespect to Fedor, but after Pride died he sat out and never fought the Best Fighters in the World, in or from the premiere organization in the World.

Anderson Silva has it all, and is a more dynamic striker. Slipping punches, breaking faces from the clinch, and front kicking opponents in the face... Ending fights seemingly whenver he pleases. We've never seen him dumped on his head, quit, or be punched out by a much smaller and older man. If Fedor is passed his prime then so be it, but Anderson Silva is still Great at an advanced age. Fedor just never reached that point, he crashed and burned as Anderson Silva aged like fine wine. Almost everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I don't think Fedor has it and probably because he never evolved his game. The Game Don't Wait, and he fell into Werdum's trap. He fell in love with his hands. That, and defeat fucked him up which probably led to him quitting against Bigfoot. Hendo just pulled off an epic switch, and would have punched my man Fedor unconscious if it weren't for the man with the dreads.

When Fedor was beating the BEST HW On the planet (Big Nog) like a kid, Anderson was getting tapped by Japanese nobodies.

Fedor was unbeaten in nearly 10 years when the HW division was at its peak.

Anderson, on the other hand, has no balls. He'll fight Griffin (who is the biggest LHW out there bar none) yet wont fight Jones because JBJ is "too big" and is "my friend"? Dude has no balls. Fedor would fight any man.

Anderson won't fight Weidman, won't fight Jones yet wants GSP? Georges is a weight class BELOW HIM! GSP is the greatest MMA fighter alive. His division is ten times more stacked than Anderson's and he has RULED IT for years.

How much did GSP's return after an extended layoff and immediate schooling of a very good interim champion help his legacy? I was very impressed by his ability to come back after so long, walk right back into a title fight against the top guy, and look like he'd never been away.

[Stoo]

well Haggis it's pretty much documented that I picked Condit for the upset. But GSP's win was HUGE!. Imagine if Condit went on a run similar to Nog's at HW when Fedor was champ...

No disrespect to Anderson, be he has to move up to fight guys who went life and death with Krzysztof for a challenge...MW is weak, make no bones about it. Maybe Anderson is the most talented MMA fighter ever, but he hasnt beaten elite or top contender class guys with the regularity that Fedor and GSP has. Too prove me wrong he has to fight Jones and win, until then Fedor and GSP are above him imho

[Rob_Floyd]

Where are your picks for tonight's card, Stoo? The fucks wrong with you?

[Stoo]

My picks are shit and Im way too drunk and busy in work too keep up with undercard fighters and such these days, think the main fights are no brainers though. But I do fancy Tarec to pull off an upset UDi n a slight upset...
