Only was GSP is beat by beating himself right now. But how will that happen ? There is IMO no harder working and more dedicated fighter out there right now. GSP loses when he gets bored and he isnt bored quite yet.
The world isn't perfect so the Hughes and Serra will occassionaly have their day but that is it. They will only have ONE day. GSP on the other hand will win every other day.
kos to lose against johnson he too is a wrestler and his stand up is much better so where can you see this fight going only 1 way and thats a ko for johnson
Just because they are both wrestlers doesn't mean that they are equally good at it; Josh is one of the best in the division, probably the second best, Johnson is very good but clearly at a disadvantage. We have seen Koscheck fight better strikers than we have Johnson; arguably we have see Koscheck fight strikers who are better strikers than Johnson is. He doesn't always win, but we have seen him against them; he did drop the admittedly glass-chinned Goulet, and use other of his aspects of his game to beat Spratt, Joslin, and Lytle. What we have seen of Johnson's striking is impressive, but it hasn't been against particuarly good strikers, or even good fighters without great striking. And while I know he was weight drained and on short notice against Rich Clementi, he got choked out by a lightweight, and he very well might have to come in weight drained again if keeps up his current strategy of having to lose 30+ pounds, 15 of it probably by cutting it.
Johnson was submitted by Rich Clementi. I think GSP is way way too well rounded for him. Could be an interesting fight on the feet though
i also think he will outstrike koshcheck for the first round but koskchecks superior wrestling will lead him to victory in round 2..
Technique wise, it may be a close comparison. GSP does not have Fedor's chin, and Johnson hits very hard. I'm not trying to say that Johnson is anywhere near GSP's level. I have not seen enough of him to even gauge if he is a solid contender. I'm not carrying any preconceived notions into the fight with Kos. I won't be surprised by any outcome there. After this fight I may be willing to add more in regards to this subject.
If enough people think someone is Elvis then maybe they are Elvis. This could get cryptic but you get my point.
I've been followin Johnson for a couple of years and this dude is violent. He's a good wrestler and crazy striker with crazy speed and explosiveness. All Kos has on him is experience right now. If Rumble can stay relaxed he should KO Kos
