You take everything GSP says too literal. Nobody & i mean nobody at 155 is as big as GSP. Khabib also walks around at 185lbs but he's probably 15-16% bodyfat, you can't just look at the actual walk around weight, bodyfat % & how lean an athlete is matters. GSP currently is as lean as most fighters get after they diet down during their 8 week camp before they start their water cut & he's 185lbs, unless he's looking to lose 10-15lbs of muscle in a 1year+ period then he has no way of making 155. Also, GSP always cut alot of weight to make 170, don't listen to GSP trying to bull**** the audience, he also has said in the past that he doesn't do strength & conditioning, you have to know how to sniff out the bullish with guys like GSP when they speak.

I'm not going by what GSP says, I'm going by what he looks like compared to other WW's and his ability to make 170 easily many times over a long career. Both those things suggest to me that 155 is doable for him.

Je connais Khabib, je l’ai rencontré plusieurs fois et je sais qu’il est plus gros moi quand il n’est pas en camp d’entraînement. Il pèse environ 195 livres alors que présentement, je ne fais même pas 185 livres. Mais je crois que je pourrais descendre à 155. Je ne l’ai jamais essayé et je ne suis pas un grand fan des grosses coupes de poids. Est-ce qu’on me laisserait l’essayer? Je ne sais pas.

"I know Khabib, I met him many times and I know he's bigger than me when he's not in camp. He weights around 195 while im not even 185 at the moment. But I know I could go down to 155. I never tried it before and im not a fan of big weight cuts. Would they let me try it? I don't know."

Sounds a bit contradictory to me, unless losing 30 lbs isn't considered a big weight cut?

He also said he's not interested in fighting Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva.

Don't think the part about Khabib is true anymore. 195 walkaround weight landed him in the hospital, doubt he will be that heavy again unless he moves up.

He was at 174 11 days prior to Conor fight, so if I had to guess I'd put him at 185-188 out of camp

yeah it's possible that GSP is also much lighter than in days past

however, Khabib is used to massive cuts since he was a teenager - he used to cut 40 lbs Dagestani style, cutting 30 using modern methods is trivial in comparison

GSP is not young anymore and he's dealing with a fairly serious medical condition - I don't know much about ulcerative colitis, but my guess is a big weight cut isn't going to help matters

BJJ is the great equalizer & why we should all learn it. The girl is 5'1, 125lbs and choked dude out in like 5-6 seconds. Why the hell this guy didn't fight the choke is beyond me, hope she gets jail time.

Well it's Youtube so I assume it's a measured discussion regarding both consent and the use of escalating force in response to a threat. Is that not the case?

More victim blaming than anything else.

EDIT: Damn just noticed that the waitress did it to that girl as a joke and the guy was completely innocent. Man you'd think that the waitress would act a bit more urgently rather than standing there watching an innocent guy get choked out.

Didn't slam his head hard enough.

Can't stand god squad, especially not one that just tried to break his opponents bones.

Not white and Irish enough to get away with grabbing shorts.

Herb Dean used to be ok, now he's a dick.

Jfc how many times he need to drop him.

Honestly should have been stopped after the 2nd knee.

Israel impressive striking but he didn't like clinch or being pulled to the ground.

Need to see more tbh.

Damn Adesanya with the seriously impressive win.

edit: Marty Adesanya's wrestling was just as impressive as his striking in that fight. Brunson tried but could do nothing with him in the clinch.
