GSP is the goat he destroyed the entire division. Avenged his only two losses. He did not pick and choose. Spent his time defending his belt rather then being on twitter 24/7 like modern fighters
"destroyed" Big Rigg says whats up
@J. P after 4 years off the sport to!
True, he only out pointed pre USADA hendrix, got tuned up pretty good in the 2 rounds he lost. Imagine GSP vs post USADA hendrix lol....
you meant he destroyed the entire division twice
@@rayrice4481 So do PEDs
GSP: 9 title defenses
Lawler, Hendricks, Woodley, and Usman: 6 title defenses COMBINED
McGregor 0 title defenses..
Should be GSP: 8 title defenses (He didn't beat Hendricks)
@@rayrice4481In my opinion, it was a draw
Mighty Mouse: 11
Usman is the current
GSP with his 13 successful title fights. I'm not sure anyone will ever match that, but Usman is a beast, and the current pfp leader.
Hopefully he schools Colby Covington again.
11 successful. He lost two
@@random-yk9rv 11 successful title defenses, and 2 successful title shots = 13 successful title fights.
Usman is good but boring as hell. Lawler was the most entertaining champion by far, though not the best fighter of course.
@@sebastianaliaga5570 if Usman is boring then you gotta say the same for gsp right bc most of his wins are decisions where he just wrestled his opponents.
The muscle definition on Carlos Newton at 0:52 is unreal. He was one tough dude.
Fax I noticed that as well
steroids?
@@Chudopie Or perhaps hard work, prayers, vitamins, and discipline? Besides if you look at pictures of GSP when he was a kid to the warrior he became, you have to allow for work ethic in there somewhere, no matter how jaded and cynical people have become in this age of Lance Armstrong and EPO and friends.
Usman: I'm the greatest Welter weight ever
GSP: Are you intoxicated
NICE ONE HSHSHAHAHAHAHAA
@MambaMMA 24.2 You must be kidding right?
Never heard him say that
@MambaMMA 24.2 You sound like Faber, lmao.
@@R34CH Woodley, Masvidal and Covington are better than anyone GSP beat, facts
Man GSP was in a era of killers makes me miss those days, people can say he’s boring and what not but he got all of his opponents to fight his way
His opponents all knew if they opened up more he would finish them, so they all fought conservatively.
Yeah of the steroids killers era.
@@Lolife86 he kill all of those steroids killers
Always hated that criticism of him. Being a champion is about imposing your will on your opponent. No one was better at imposing his will on another fighter than GSP.
GSP was such an interesting champion! He was most exciting BEFORE he won the belt and when he got KO'd by Serra that transformed him into THE most intelligent fighter in MMA history... but imo he was fighting NOT to lose rather than to win b/c he had SO MUCH to lose. Which is completely understandable. NOBODY wants to lose, let alone in front of a viewing audience and countless people online.
There's absolutely no denying his success but for me I only watched b/c watching GSP fight was history. Once the fight started, it was fairly uneventful. Was a real shame, too! If he fought the way he did before getting KO'd by Serra at a championship level, I think he would've been not only the BEST but the most EXCITING fighter in combat sports history. Georges "Dey can't andle my riddum" St. Pierre was the best Georges imo lol.
This has gotta be the most lovable cast of champions ever! Hughes, BJ, Serra, GSP, Condit, LAWLER, etc...
Hughes is a PoS
@@johnychrist2559 how so?
@@PERIDOTPIMP he trippin big time
@@icemike69247 I think because he had some weird fourth century type shit of christian values
@@JRF1004 doesn't mean he's a PoS
Always liked Carlos Newton. Dude had great wrestling and submissions and was really fast on the ground. He didn't always win, but it was always fun to watch his skills on display.
I still think his loss to Hughes was a double KO
Same. Always enjoyed his fight on any card I saw him on.
@@brentwoods7450 submission and ko
This was when tyron wasn’t falling in and out of love
in and out of love again
falling in and out of consciousness
he fell in and out of love with fighting fr. the twood 2013-2016 was hungry. the one who fought marty and dilbert was old and worn out. just showed up for paycheck
Feel bad for him
Hopefully he wins his next fight
Tyron definitely one of my favorite in the ufc
Shoutout Carlos Condit bruh one of Welterweights forgotten legends
Lots of people underrate Carlos. Dude threw a top 5 elbow in MMA history.
Justin Matias Nowadays he’s 2-8 in his last 10 fights and 0-5 in his last 5 while only being 36
Carlos Benedetti Na they’re including interim champions aswell condit was never the actual champ
@@vinaybhatoa1061 Condit was Robbed against Lawler
Silent Gaming Elite was he?
Newton was so entertaining. Win or lose, his fights were always memorable. He had Hughes choked out, too. Matt was so lucky that the ref didn't notice.
11:26 When your opponent starts charging at you like an angry gorilla, it's time to reconsider your life choices
lmfao im dying
GSP is the greatest welterweight that ever stepped into the octagon.
No doubt
Think Usman could be in contention in a few years. Woodley is no where near though, terrible fighting style and some lacklustre fights.
@@MONAHAN97 I'm not saying he isn't capable, but it would take more than a few years. GSP had 9 title defenses against absolute monsters of a very different era.
@@MONAHAN97 in few years lol he will get slept by masvidal
He might still beat the whole current division while creeping up on 40.
GSP: Hippoty hoppity your title is my property.
I totally imagined this with George's voice and accent
nice profile picture Questionable
What’s with this Hippoty hoppity estrogen crap? Who made this popular?
@@alexandercrush His extra classes at kindergarden are paying off since he now knows how to make words rhyme.
Proppity
Gsp's skills definitely improved by a wide margin
I agree. Juts before his retirement, IMO he could take ANYONE down virtually at will. The only way he could lose at that stage was if he bowed to public pressure and decided to stand and trade.
@@PaulSchober gsp is a smart offensive striker anyone who stands with him is getting destroyed
Matt Hughes deserves more respect for what he did. Back in the day when I was first getting super into becoming a crazy fan of MMA, I remember Pat Militechs team but specifically Matt Hughes being so damn dominant as the champ with how strong he was and wrestling. Matt Hughes was like Khabib before Khabib ever came around with how strong he was and how he demolished people with his wrestling and toughness until GSP came back after his first loss to him to become the GOAT welterweight.
Agreed
@@nicbanning2182 it’s crazy how fast people’s memorize are in this sport. Like Conor says this is a “what have you done for me lately” sport. Even just a year passing feels like five years in other sports.
he's such a piece of shit as a person though, it's hard to pay him respect for what he did in the octagon
When Hughs submitted GSP was crazy, crazier that GSP came back and fucken wrecked em
Maan, GSP is a MMAsterpiece. He should have his own monument in Canada.
He probably will, if he doesn't have one already.
We should start a petition
@@LNMarls I'm down for that
His hometown is actually making a statue of him
@@dylanmcgregor6891 where?
To this day no one is on GSPs level, GOAT 😎
Jon jones goat
@@gg-eu3tr Picogram
@rnarayanan2023 bro using 'casual' is the new 'casual' word by amateurs. Stop using it, you seem like an idiot
@@Pumpkinmountain ok so what is it? Jones was caught ounce and he never again like Silva you don't know how tough usada is
@MambaMMA 24.2 bisping would have destroyed any ww as he's a mw. Gsp took the harder fight and won no matter how you downplay it
I see fighters started to dial down their use of steroids around about the same time Joe Rogan started to dial his up.
And lose his hair
He was using them all lol
WHAT A DIVISION!
All the fights involving Newton Hughes Penn Serra Gsp are so fun to rewatch crazy times
0:53 STÉROÏD ARM
they were all on it so its even
Lmao it looks like something out of a superhero comic book
He take useman that night lol
In the wise words of the Diaz brothers “everyone’s on drugs”
Juicy Triceps
GSP the mma GOAT, not even close when you consider he never failed a test. I suppose if Khabib could win 170 belt I might reconsider.
Samuel Prime He looked very beatable in his last fights against Reyes and Santos
@Samuel PrimeHow many failed tests Jon have?
Talking about failed tests isnt an argument specially when you see how GSP looked liked pre usada. Some people dont get caught but are clearly on something, like Paulo Costa
@@MattSalema "looked like" he always looked the same. Freak athlete.
@@saulwest8254 If you want to believe that, okay. But it's pretty obvious he wasnt natural either
3:32 didn't know justin gaethje was a commentator

I love how the highlights are always angled towards what the judges decided; not what actually happened.
I don’t think I know of another fighter that embodied what a “Champion” is, better than GSP.
Love the content UFC is putting out recently.
Facts!
@Colby Covington ROY El Cucuy JONES Jr. & Nate DIAZ dumb casual kid
Khabib and his brothers are the king of THE UFC they fked up the diaz kiddies
There are so many welterweight champions, but no one like GSP !!!
suren Usman is just another level though 👀
lawler's the most entertaining
@Adrian Lagos gsp lost rounds to Condit, shields, Hendricks, koscheck. Usman fucked Colby's face all up your delusional. Colby outstruck him in 1 round. The other rounds were close except usman winning the 3rd. Colby lost 2 rounds to dos anjos. Usman dominated him
Hendricks should won.
@The last Methbender lol you'Re fucking nuts
0:52 Jesus Christ how JACKED was Carlos Newton? Dude looked like he was created in a lab! Dude out here looking like a bloody super hero!
Great idea and well executed! Thanks - hope there's more coming for other weight classes!
GSP is brilliant, the best welterweight for sure.
Maybe at one point but he quickly turned into Mr lay and pray at the end of his career. Shit was annoying to say the least.
@@JonCollinsMedia annoying to many probably. Doesn't change the fact though, that dude is the best Welterweight of all time.
CM punk is the best welterweight 😂😂
Maybe your favorite but no
🤔🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Really UFC lightweight and Welterweight are the best divisions 🔥🔥
Thats 50/50 but light heavyweight also good..
That's bc most human men are between 150 and 170pounds. Makes for the most stacked divisions
@@cliffw7249 Light heavyweoght is complete shit. There are like 5 good 205ers in the world.
@@thedonofthsht76-58 Welterweights don't weigh 170 though. The lightest welterweight is probably 180 or higher.
TheDonofthsht76 - Not necessarily. If the ufc paid big money like the top boxers make, then you would see people who don’t make the pros in football, basketball, soccer etc. some would move to mma. I’m speaking of the bigger athletes of course. Then heavyweight, light heavy, and middle weights would be way more popular.
Matt sera’s upset was the craziest fight ever. The cold blooded nature was epic.
That second Lawler vs Hendricks fight was crazy aswell. Lawler went full on savage killer mode
GSP was so Consistent throughout his career and easily the best welterweight period . Also I miss Mike Goldberg
Damn i miss the old UFC belt 🤦🏾♂️
Same here
Yeah more gold and shiny!
I enjoyed this GSP highlights video Thank You UFC
So much hard work distilled into a few minutes.
Damn, they were on some serious RIODS back in the day
Yeah, Hughes and Newton look like super heroes but it was pre USADA so still a fair ground kinda.
@@nodo7575 Who wantes some got some XD
kinG iZZy nah nah never he acc was against steroids his whole career and asked the ufc time and time again and the people saying otherwise are just trying to discredit him but no he was never on gear
@@ogpage972 GSP looked like that all his career lol if you see his training regimen you'd understand how he's in such good shape
Carlos Newton wasn't just drinking protein shakes that's for sure
*UFC posts every welterweight champion*
Me: (:
*Nick Diaz loses*
Me: :(
To be fair Nick got robbed
Chris Pedraza calling that a robbery is demeaning to true robberies. Thankfully you and the rest of the Diaz army aren’t judges.
See Jay nick was robbed
Nick Diaz was a bum who can't defend takedowns and throws a tantrum when he losses
Kane K. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion I just think Nick won the fight and I didn’t mean to discredit condit , and yeah I would be a pretty bad judge that’s why I don’t do it
Being the champion doesn't get any easier it gets harder and makes you a huge target for the rest of the contenders, such amazing fights!
dang I can't believe I've been a fan of the ufc for so long that I remember all these champs and fights. pretty awesome getting to be part of history and this new ,ajor sport since the beginning which not many can say they were around or a fan of sport since the beginning
I want a replica of the belt worn by Carlos Newton.
@@timothy6129 No
@@timothy6129 He's related to Sir Isaac Newton.
@Nightstar steroids*
@Fritz Or you can simply mind your own damn business and let people be. You must be a miserable sack of sh*t, if collecting replicas bothers you.
I want to look like Carlos Newton
BJ Penn's win was an amazing upset at the time. So was Serra'a. This montage was great to watch.
Cracking up listening to young, pre-TRT Rogan's voice during the Hughes-Penn fight.
welterweight champions have always been absolute beasts, which just makes GSP even much more impressive. favorite division of mine by far.
Nate Diaz: my brother Nick Diaz the greatest fighter in the world
World: Are you intoxicated?
Imo nick at this time was the second best ww on the planet but George is on a different level than anyone he fights
@Alex Amaya Hendricks was scared of Nick lmao
Well he was the best, after the condit robbery he lost interest in fighting
Vastvik Sewani Hendricks would have gassed out trying to kill nick and nick would’ve just drowned his ass by round 3 lol
Diaz Bros have 10 extra rounds in their gas tank at the end of a fight, and many decisions Nick lost was just him not having enough time to get things done.
GSP will forever be the GOAT, at least to me.
Me too. GOAT ST. PIERRE is the epitome of what it means to be a professional.
I don't even know these new kids.
But I watched Hugh and gsp in their prime. Great fighters
That beat gives me goosebumps…
I'm happy that Robbie Lawler won and defended the title . Top man!
*Great look at the past. Thanks for the nostalgia* ✅👊
Why did you put this in bold
Would love to see GSP and Nick Diaz back in the game. Watching this makes me nostalgic for some of those fighters that aren't actively competing.
GSP is the greatest of all time . Fighters will come and go but GSP will always be there remembered as the true champ .
@MambaMMA 24.2 GSP defended his belt 9 times and won the middleweight belt.
13 wins in title fights and never tested positive.
@MambaMMA 24.2 u r such an idiot lol😂😂😂
@mambamma 24.2 the reason why I consider him GOAT is because what he has done in UFC is what others didn't do in strike force and UFC combined
MambaMMA 24.2 you know GSP is like rorys mentor right ?
@MambaMMA 24.2 ur just a hater bro u sound salty
I completely forgot newton won the title I always remembered him because of the slam
I remember him from his fight with Anderson Silva
I remember him for getting a chub while getting slammed by Matt Hughes
Georges St. Pierre. The greatest WW there will EVER be.
Usman is about to surpass him tho
@@mrcrackdonald_1 kamaru has only 3 title defences george has 9,so if usman would surpass him well maybe in a few years
@@JakaaaHasan It’s about quality not quantity
@@mrcrackdonald_1 well yeah of course since you said "Surpass" him i thought you mean in title defences
@@mrcrackdonald_1 GSP dominated everyone that ever stepped in the octagon with him when he held the title. It was for like 6 or 7 years. That's stupid impressive. I don't think Usman will hold it for half that.
Newton on that radioactive suplements
All I got from this that GSP is the real GOAT of mma. A true professional. A real champion.
Old UFC is out here looking like the WWE.
Wut??
Wtf are you talking about
What a casual it’s more wwe now idiot
James Baron I think he means that the UFC used to have ramp entrances. Also had pyro as well.
It used to be good now it’s like wwe and awful
@Fall Matic Chill
I like these videos the title is like a torch get passed to the next champ
Awesome video. 👏 Thank you 🙏
Where’s CM Punk?
It doesn’t matter if he’s not in this vid he’s still the people’s champ
jk
This is WW, not openweight. Casual.
@@Khonnell66 How dare you disrespect the GOAT

That thumbs up 👍from Matt Sierra at 03:57, is ICONIC!! He's such a legend!! 🤴
A legendary division with legendary fighters.
First things first Rest in Peace Uncle Nurmagomedov
Gsp is a unique athlete .. brilliant fighter 🐐
Damn Matt Hughes was actually the man for a minute, super underrated
What an incredible division. So much history.
Damn!! I forgot how stacked this division has been through the years!
Amazing champs we had in the welterweight!
Hughes headbutting newton for the k.o. is one or my favorites lol. Just slammed into a inertia driven headbutt
As much as I love GSP, Matt Serra reacting to the belt being put around his waist is one of my favorite MMA moments.
2:46 Dana’s hair is what’s “UNBELIEVABLE”
GSP and Matt are the true Beast in this Welterweight Division ❤️
Robbies stare down is the moment to remember. Ruthless Robbie !!
This series is awesome
i’ll forever miss GSP🙌🏻❤️

there is only one WW Champ : GSP :)
If you watched the video you would’ve seen that actually there are quite a few welter weight champs
@@tomayres3057 no shit Sherlock
MambaMMA 24.2 because he was old and he wanted to do one last thing before retiring which to be MM champ! Prime gsp best Twood Usman and Colby no doubt!
MambaMMA 24.2 what I mean is that he mentally and physically more tired because of everything he did in the pass!
@Truth God Exactly!
11:38 Cruz sounds almost sarcastically bored lol
Gsp is the first ufc fighter who implement a very good game plan. I still remember when he defend againts thiago alves, everyone think its going to be striking match but then gsp shocked everyone when he wrestle thiago every round and the takedown is so fast. So exciting to see.
3:11 is one of the slickest arm bars I've ever seen. Rousey-esque.
GsP is my favorite n is the greatest in n out of cage, facts!✔💯🇺🇸✨😂🍻
Lmao he's Canadian
I remember thinking Lawler's title run (including the Brown and 1st Hendricks fight) was the most violence dished out in combat history. It was pretty much all 5 round dogfights. Absolutely insane.
While the earlier days of MMA weren’t as technical as they are today, they sure were exciting. Sweet video
Very nice history on the Welter Weights
