You think the Canadians are going to test their national hero? Think not. Kos will destroy a clean GSP anyday, as far as wrestling? Edinboro U is a wrestling factory, and Kos was training for the Olympics prior to picking up MMA.

"Did GSP out-wrestle Kos? Absolutely!" There's no argument there. My point is that GSP is able to do that because he's so dangerous all around. It affects your positioning, weight-distribution, hand defense, everything. GSP is able to hold Kos down, not because he's a better wrestler, but because Kos is scared of his BJJ. And he should be!!! GSP stuffs his takedown attempt because he dive-bombs at GSP from the outside, as he is afraid go get inside and setup the shot... And he should be!!! According to George, Matt Hughes has better BJJ than Royce Gracie because he submitted him. Serra is a better striker than GSP, TKO'd him... It would be a fight pitting maybe the two best wrestlers in the WW division. But it's not a wrestling match. Trevor got it right..."its how you apply your wrestling to MMA, and nobody does it better then GSP." My point was only that just because GSP outclassed both of them in all aspects of MMA, doesn't make him the better wrestler. Read the first line of my last statement. “Did GSP out-wrestle Kos?

He has ben protected by the UFC. He will still be voted into the Hall of Fame, win or lose. Let's see what he is really made of, without UFC intervention.

Yes, GSP is a phenomenal all-around fighter, but his last two fights have demonstrated that his MMA wrestling is probably his biggest asset (obviously he has great striking and ever-improving BJJ, but out-wrestling Koscheck then Hughes is a major statement).

As I recall it (and I may be wrong) it appeared that GSP held Kos down for the entire 2nd round, and it apeared as if he was doing it just to shut Kos up for all of the beaking about superior wrestling skills before the fight. I would say he was thouroughly dominated in wrestling alone in that fight, and striking had very little to do with it. Again, just my view, but it sure looked like GSP held Kos down intentionally without striking much for the ENTIRE second round. Hey Shitson,

His only signifigant win in the ufc was sanchez and then he was demolished by GSP. I'm not really a big hughes fan but i hope that hughes GNPs this guy until he taps. Maybe after that he'll fight burkman and stop trying to rank people. Kos is a more cocky than he should be. His only signifigant win in the ufc was sanchez and then he was demolished by GSP.

That's funny for 2 reasons.... #1 - GSP "out wrestled" both Kos and Hughes....and Kos needs to realize that its not what your amateur accomplishments were that make you the best wrestler, its how you apply your wrestling to MMA, and nobody does it better then GSP. #2 - Nobody cares who the best wrestler is.
