GSP would be ungodly good if he perfected his karate base on top of his wrestling. I love the overall trend toward much more technical kickboxing. GSP fighting a little more like Machida, and Machida fighting a little more like GSP would be just amazing. Both fighters would be more entertaining and even more dominating against their competition. Anderson Silva type finishes. Yes. Then, GSP vs. Anderson would become more of a dream match. Silva vs. Machida would be awesome as well even though it ain't happening. Lol, you did describe Machida perfectly. GSP would be ungodly good if he perfected his karate base on top of his wrestling.

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 02:28:51 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=16053#comment-102683 Good Lord.. If GSP actually took some of Machida's striking techniques away from his time training with him, I'm sure it would prove to be devistating in the WW division.. Could you imagine? A man who can totally destroy you on the feet, without getting touched.. can avoid every takedown attempt, even from the best of wrestlers.. and can still take THEM down at will.. Er, sounds like I just described Machida perfectly.. GSP's striking is already devistating, and probably the best in the welterweight division right now (at least the best out of the people he's faced). His wrestling is the best in the UFC, maybe even all of MMA.. If he just gave his striking that extra little edge, we could probably see more finishes from him, the likes of Anderson Silva.. Good Lord..

Would love to see him use more of his karate background and less wrestling and gnp. GSP really comes across as a humble champ, always looking to learn more.

AT his current weight I dont see a challenge. Just imagine how much more competitivt the WW class would be if he wasnt there. It would look like the LHW class where we get a new champ every other week(seemingly) Now if Machida dominates we have three chamos that seem unbeatable, so for himself to not get complaceant I would be in favor of GSP going up to MW. Even without a title shot, just see him take that challenge. Then could you imangine the tournament for his belt, the top 4 WW fighters over probably4-6 months. It would be graet.

I gotta stick with my boy GSP tho. I hope they end up hookin up for some training. They are 2 of the best in the world and could only help each other. This is what I love about GSP, he is always bringing in top guys to train with from all over the world. Did you catch the HL of that French MT fighter he trained with? The guy was legit.

It would only happen because of financial motivation. Fighters have a very short career and must make as much money as possible. That and the challenge aspect might motivate GSP, but he wouldn't fare well against the much bigger 185lb fighters. GSP doesn’t have the frame to be dominant at a higher weight class.

He's not fat by any means, but he looks like a fluffy 205. He could drop down to 185 and be absolutely shredded. I think he walks around at 215-220 so it's not out of the realm of possiblity.
