GSP also really good wrestling even tho he wasn't a wrestler. Not saying he will out wrestle Usman (cause that's not possible) but if GSP keeps on with the precise or creative striking he wins by decision.

@@REAL_PFO I disagree purely because Kamaru has beaten a lot of nobodies. Almost all of GSP's wins came from #1 contenders. It's easy to beat up on tomato cans, but can you beat the best guy every time they're put in front of you for nearly a decade? That's what makes GSP the best. He beat the best every time, for longer than almost anyone else, in the 2nd most stacked division in the history of the promotion.

@@1994mrmysteryman it wasnt the only debutant actually there were a few guys making their debut that he fought, and more guys with 0 wins but many losses, I made this comparison because this was GSP's 14th fight, I actually did the complete opposite of picking and choosing from his record. Also who are these guys with the better records? the 28-22 guy he fought to go 15-0? or the 13-9 guy he fought to go 13-0? Khabib was a beast in the UFC but the truth is, if every fighter had their first 15 fights handed to them as free wins whilst they improved their game, they would all be undefeated.
