I'm not really into comparing eras but I don't think it is close who fought harder comp between Usman/GSP.
Hendricks beat GSP
Conditt had GSP rocked
Usman has never been in anything remotely close to that kinda trouble.
It is your opinion Hendrix beat gsp .
To me it was a draw at best for Hendrix .
Which 3 rounds Hendrix actually won iyo?
Not to mention at that time Hendrix was juiced up to the hilt .
He was just touching people and was knocking down top 5 contenders.
Obv. he was roids up .
They were agreeing to be tested and in the prior week of the fight Hendrix backed off lol .
Strangely UFC start steroid check in 2015 and since then Hendrix went 1-5.
Yeah I know coincidence …..
Condit was able to rock a little gsp ok
And ?
Silva got rock by chael in their first match .
Jones got a lucky win imo ( I was very surprise he won that match ) and was rocked vs Gustafson.
Plenty example like that ,shrug .
Anyone can get rocked on .
Gsp got his nose broken In his first fight vs bj penn he still won .
Yes because usman didn’t fought great competition like gsp ?
Which champion usman actually beat beside woodley ?
Woodley that lost vs a guy like jake shield , demian maia , benson Henderson , al laquinta , barely best wonderboy ?
Jake shield after his lost vs gsp did beat guys like demain maya and woodley and going vs gsp just came out win on guys like Dan Henderson ( heavier right ? ) , lawler , etc….
Jack shield wasn’t tougher competition vs gsp but jake was same level of not better than all those guys usman beat .
Usman beat twice masvidal and Covington wow ….
Never been champions btw …..
Covington good no arguing but who did he beat ?
Lawler at 37 being 2-6 in the last 5 years vs win over way past their time in Diaz and cerrone ?
Damian maia at 40 years old ?
34 year old dos anjos not in his weight class imo .
It is always hard to comparing different era , especially when lot of guys could still get better and win titles and all .
But for now , to me usman great but didn’t really beat much any champions and legend yet …
And those that usman beat have some wins that are meh and loses they shouldn’t have to be considered awesome …
When you look at gsp opponent they were all in their prime too .
