How do you rate tonight's performance in terms of GSP's career-best fights?

The match with Conduit showed that GPS is just a one dimensional fighter who relies on athletic gifts over actual skill.

Tonight he looked like a Canadian version of Mark Coleman without the steroids.

Zero ability to finish, no submissions... hell, I dont even remember seeing GPS attempt or try to set up a submission.

But, physical fitness is the greatest asset in an athlete and GPS delivered in that department.

 

So if St. Pierre didn't even "attempt or try to set up a submission," how are you to know he has "zero ability to finish."

:huh

 

Historically, Jon Fitch was and still is St. Pierre's greatest opponent. (Penn's best is at lightweight.)

But skill-wise -- Condit is definitely St. Pierre's top opposition. St. Pierre's win over Condit should be amongst his very best.

 

Athletic gifts over actual skill... wow....

 

All things considered, it's his best win......

He came back from knee surgery, controlled a fight, and left CC with a vagina on the side of his head. But, the most impressive thing about last night was recovering from that kick to the head and grounding his opponent about a minute later.

 

Considering the layoff and opponent being a striking and submission risk I think it was quite good. I expected a clear victory simply because of the wrestling but I must admit GSP made it harder than it had to be. Immediately on the front foot and in the line of fire. Very un GSP like but credit ot him.

 

Could be his best.

 

Actually, not that impressive since He was abit gassed out there which is not the usual GSP.

Also, Condit have tons of heart and grit but He is abit overrated and not as great as advertised. Prime GSP would have had an easier time.

Condit got outstruck (besides that no look kick) and He was supposed to be a deadly MT fighter. He also couldnt stop a TD if his life depended on it. A LW BJ Penn at least managed to defend the TD before He gassed.

His BJJ is all to defend and stall, didnt came close to any subs.

Hendricks I think would be a tougher opponnent. This guy has the x factor, He touches you and its nite nite. I give him a good chance of putting the lights out of GSP.

 

Great win but not his best. Conduit was scared and his striking was poor even for somebody scared of a takedown. He kept trying that 1,2 kick combo and just happened to get lucky once because of the weird angle of the kick. He doesn't know how to throw a proper blow like Hendricks :bbb If sierra can KO gsp you know Hendricks is set to be ****ing champ :deal

ha me and chimba agree on something for once

 

The best performance of GSP's career was when he took Hughes out in the rematch. What he did to Fitch was also really impressive.

Though he showed more vulnerability against Condit than he has in awhile, it was also GSP's return from a long layoff, and Condit was arguably his best opponent in a long, long time.

I'd say it was his third best win. I want to see my boy Hendricks get a crack at him. If anyone can take GSP out at 170, it's him. The Silva fight is a farce. That'd be like Floyd or Manny fighting Andre Ward.

 

You'd have to rank it third behind his first win over Hughes and second win over Penn.

 

I think that kick is overrated it was wild, landed high on the head and gsp didn't seem all that hurt at all, his eyes looked clear as he went down. I think there is a case for gsp winning even that round.

Good win regardless, its rare I make a correct prediction so I'm going to stick to my guns and say I am unsurprised that gsp made it that clear as he simply is an amazing mixed martial artist (Despite his lack of desire to finish)

 

christ almighty.. atsch
and condit is actually UNDERated
