@Chosey im 31 and no not many fighters if any study frame data they study other things like a fighters tendencies and rhythms and weaknesses..they don't study the frames it take to throw a punch, block, or when its "they turn" thats a video games approach... every fight game is based on frames as it takes frames to move
@Chosey u think bones Jones or floyd studies frames they don't and they are goats which is why its impressive that gsp applied video game logic to actual fights
This is what Conor somehow forgot. His kicks and movement used to distract people from his left hand, now he just plods forward waiting to throw the left.
I feel like Conor's lifestyle really affects his cardio. Specifically his drinking. I don't think he always had horrible cardio. Just weird how a 170lb guy gasses as hard as a HW. He's not even that fast-twitch either. Just my thoughts though...
High level players do this in fighting games like Street Fighter, they study the frame data (start up, active, recovery frames, etc). It's funny how someone figured out how to do it in real life fighting, lol.
It wasn't sustainable, he used the cutting edge of mixed techniques and fight IQ to dismantle his opponents. No freak athlete, but he made up for it with weird power and intensity.
Facts. Now that I think about it, I picture him fainting constantly in his fights. But with efficiency, unlike most... because it's a lot easier said then done.
@Dr retardo yes although he did get taught a lot from other people that’s what made him so good he seeked the knowledge and for that he deserves every bit of credit for putting it together , raw technique and strength too
Makes me happy hearing GSP praising BJ Penn. The only times I hear his name come up these days, people talk about his downfall, but I haven't heard anybody talk about how great he was in his prime. I guess I just miss those years of the UFC. Less theatre, more combat. Rankings mattered.
He was called the "Prodigy" for a reason... Bisping picked on GSP, and said he brags about beating a featherweight. OK. Well that Featherweight was apparently a formidable foe to the best Welter weight of all time, that happened to beat Bisping. Perspective. Lol.
You say the rankings mattered "back then" GSP fought BJ Penn in 2006 and in 2009. The UFC introduced rankings in 2013. So the question here is, are you a new fan from the Rousey era or the McGregor era? Out here talking about missing "those years" of the UFC spewing the most casual b.s. lol.
@@basicdefaultchannelname So the UFC introduced their own ranking system in 2013, but there were other organizations outside of the UFC that ranked UFC fighters before then. Also, it really doesn’t matter since the UFC always ignores their ranking system and books fights based on what is best for their brand, they did it before the ranking system, and continue to do it today.
Dude a prime BJ Penn was incredible. Newer generations only know some of the greatest fighters for their losing streaks and not their accolades and how great they were. It's a sad thing being a fighter because they almost never want to quit. I was so happy seeing gsp going out on top and not leaving a legacy of brain damage and losses after being a champion.
Bj penn was honestly the man, he fought lyoto Machida weighing under 165 pounds, that’s just fucking crazy, and I believe it went to decision, it was a relatively close fight
It was huge. I was on MMA Mania back then; people from all over the world picking sides and fighting in the comment sections. I got pissed more than once, and I pissed people off more than once. In the end, my side was right: GSP was the man.

@@TheCrazykid439 I think that has more to do with being able to take hits. Everyone one the planet would think they were punch drunk......but they've always been that way.

Well it's just part of Cowboy's persona. He's a mean brawler who's just in the ring to kill. That's why he's so popular even though he'll never be in any GOAT talk.
His philosophy towards overloading an opponents CNS and reducing their reaction time is interesting as hell. If you watch the video on why GSPs superman jabs were so effective (which nobody else seems to emulate well), it basically goes hand in hand with his fighting theory. GSP was a master at being able to chain his superman punch into multiple options such as a kick, takedown, or another punch. On top of that he could start multiple techniques using the same motion, so he could start throwing something, read the reaction, and then change his own move into something different, eg faking a superman jab into a double leg fighting him must have felt like a nightmare trying to figure out what was coming at you which, like he said, would then overload and lower your reflexes and then make everything so much worse
There is no way around this too, because "Reacting" uses a different neural circuit from "choosing an option". The shift is about 200-250 milliseconds but that is enough time to delay a muscle reaction.
I have been a long time Tekken player and now am a black belt in Kyokushin karate a well as been training Kickboxing for over 6 years. The biggest things I learnt after I built a solid foundation in martial arts was from Tekken. I always tried to react to things and be faster but as I got older I learnt very fast I wasn't as fast as I thought. I had so much trouble dealing with fast and tricky fighters. But Tekken taught me about 'option select' which in the game was basically using movement and spacing to understand the range of risks that could be thrown at you at a given spacing so you have to calculate the least amount of options in your brain and predict moves and counter appropriately. This changed the way I fight because it's easy to be overwhelmed in a fight when the person is fast and tricky. But understanding the relationship between the space and the strike reduces that feeling and allows you to reduces your sensory overload, thus reducing fatigue, thus increasing efficiency. When I paired 'option select' with 'whiff punishing' and 'challenging' I noticed my fight IQ really grew and my success went up. Don't get me wrong reactions are still essential in combat Sports but it's not everything it's made to be. Sometimes reacting to a combo isn't just the 'physical' reaction, it's reading the space and conditioning of the opponent that made the opponent's settup readable. Once you've committed to the educated low energy mental decisions you commit to the counter with 'confidence'. And the more confident you are in your reads the less taxing the body movement will be. In theory the better your deduction skills under pressure the better you are at effectively fighting.
@grimm jow I guess it wasn't that big of a secret but Georges is one sneaky guy ... He purposely took the risk of going up in weight bc he knew it was the easiest challenge. Imagine GSP v Luke Rockhold...
I think the left hook was put in throughout the fight actually, I remember Freddie saying it during the fight to fake with the overhand right and go up with the left
bisping said in a recent podcast. he used to train wiith gsp's coach before he was with gsp. bisping told the coach about the eye.. after years they fought and then the coach must've told gsp about it.
That punch that knocked out Bisping was planned by Roach GSP talks about that exact punch he knew he could hit Bisping with.l Him and Roach practised that punch for thrree months straight GSP once said
Frame-by-frame footage of his opponents to gauge reaction time -- a secret weapon ... yet he literally revealed this in his very first podcast with Joe in like 2013 when he was still actively defending his title lol
This is a whole new level of professionalism to what I try to do in jits: I liked to refer to a "move/technique" as a unit of time, so it provides an idea of when one would be able to successfully implement a move, depending on distance/complexity; but breaking it down into frames makes it so much more specific, both to the move & to the person. GSP, this is why we still respect you as the consummate mixed martial artist!
Imagine being that guy measuring frames of ufc fighters for fun when suddenly the best welterweight of all time drops in to see his work. Unreal, GSP and his team changed the modern era of mma.
It's like playing mortal Kombat and you look up the moves that have the shortest frames to have that advantage it's crazy. At that time MMA fighters even now they don't understand the faint game
I remember a friend of mine who compete many times against Lyoto in Karate, saying he was the fastest guy on UFC. And then we were there giving him some names to compare and he was saying : "Lyoto is faster" so someone said "BJ Penn" and he hesitated and said: "Man, BJ is a bullet".
@@tinkertanner165 I still think it’s so crazy BJ got all the way up to 190 to fight him. It’s also super cool in the context of the comparison of their speed!
Man I love it. Talking about overloading his opponents, not just physically tiring them out but mentally exhausting them as well. Giving the brain too much to think about, overwhelming them, and if they're overloaded, then they're open and vulnerable.
@@Gematrinator but he's old now, and he doesn't want to fight, why should he. He's living his life and training other people, he's even gotten into television and movies and stuff. one fight doesn't make the difference between whether someone is a great fighter or not.
@@Gematrinator Hendricks was on so much goddamn juice for that fight he could have opened up his own smoothie bar by just pissing into cups, also right before usada started cracking down heavy. Yes he got robbed but GSP literally brought a knife to a gun fight for that one. As far as avoided hardest challenges I couldnt disagree more
If BJ Penn had the same preparation and work ethic GSP had he would have been unstoppable in the UFC. Probably the most naturally gifted fighter I've seen in the sport. Just didn't always have the work ethic and heart to turn him from a great fighter into the goat
tldr in Fighting Game terms - talk was about IRL frame data. - BJ PENN: fastest start-up frames, lowest recovery frames. - IRL start-up frames and reaction times lower if you overload their nervous system with animation cancels (fakes/feints). people's frame data actually change as the fight progresses.
this dude is pretty high level and smart about his fights. I've probably heard more interesting and unique training ideas from GSP interviews than from all other fighters combined.
That technique reminds me of those old b/w bruce lee clips whereby they tried use the camera to capture the movement of his punch but it was just too fast.
Just because people joke about his accent that doesn't mean he isn't taken seriously by Americans... I don't even know how you came to that conclusion because people all over the country and world comment how he's the goat under any video he's in. People say he would be a UFC hall of fame member. He's respected and loved already. It's called doing a caricature. Exaggerating the most obvious traits of an individual.
Canada doesn't love him. Québec does. I'm sorry to say but English speaking Canadians don't respect anyone from Québec who speaks french. They think we're racists, bigots, and eat the babies of anyone not born in this land. True story. Google Amir Attaran. He's a true representative of what English Canadians think of Québécois. I lived among them for years, and I know exactly what I'm talking about.
He wasn’t only an incredible martial artist but man he also brought the highest level of intelligence to breaking down his opponents. Just amazing. I doubt there is a single fighter who thinks like this even now. The guy is literally a living breathing Goku.
The absolute humility of this guy. "I won the fight by an inch". When he pretty clearly won 29-28, first round he lost rounds 2 and 3 he won pretty clearly by grappling.
@@leroyalflush5026 ehhhhhhhhh idk man gsp never had to deal with.usada for all we know gsp couldve been in canada with needle up his arse but ig its all about wat u can prove. Picogram or not jones is a talented man
They both arguably were gifted decision wins. GSP vs Hendricks, Jones vs Gustafsson 1, and Jones vs Reyes. Khabib though, he smashed everyone… except Tibau.
Gsp with this haircut is killing me. He is my favorite fighter but he was always bald for no reason. He has a great head of hair but went with the spartan bald look.
It was for one round, got cleaned with the towel after that because BJ's corner said it to the ref, the outcome would have been the same without it. Total domination from GSP.
Love GSP, but Khabib would have destroyed a lot of guys that GSP struggled with. Khabib represents the elite of the elite in wrestling who actually became a smooth striker. Khabib was barely entering his peak.
GSP is the greates but isn't what he's describing just a feint that boxers use all the time regardless of the opponent? Wouldn't throwing a bunch a feints mess anyones timing up? Just curious.
It’s similar but he’s talking about it in regards to all different types of attacks. In boxing you can feint different types of punches and hip movements, but in mma you can feint a huge amount of things. Because of the threat of takedowns you can feint entire body movements causing the opponents body to tighten up and prepare to sprawl as a defense, which would take a lot more out of you than just needing to parry a punch.
People often do it for short time advantage. Like i feigned the previous punch so my next punch will land. He is talking about long time advantage. A plan for the first rounds to dominate the last rounds

He probably figured out about Michael Bisping's blind right eye with this method. Then landed that left hook in the fight after his discovery
@grimm jow I guess it wasn't that big of a secret but Georges is one sneaky guy ... He purposely took the risk of going up in weight bc he knew it was the easiest challenge.
Imagine GSP v Luke Rockhold...
I think the left hook was put in throughout the fight actually, I remember Freddie saying it during the fight to fake with the overhand right and go up with the left
bisping said in a recent podcast. he used to train wiith gsp's coach before he was with gsp. bisping told the coach about the eye.. after years they fought and then the coach must've told gsp about it.
That punch that knocked out Bisping was planned by Roach GSP talks about that exact punch he knew he could hit Bisping with.l Him and Roach practised that punch for thrree months straight GSP once said
@@texasbeaver8188 The Rockhold that got KTFO by Bisping?
Only the OGs remember motivated BJ not motivated Conor
Frame-by-frame footage of his opponents to gauge reaction time -- a secret weapon
... yet he literally revealed this in his very first podcast with Joe in like 2013 when he was still actively defending his title lol
Wow good memory 😂
Did this method start with boxing
holy shit og move
Most greats got signature moves even though you know it's Coming. Nothing you can do to stop it.
Looks like even Joe Rogan forgot that being mentioned too
GSP "And now we get into what I call secret weapon stuff"
Joe Rogan "You mean like DMT?"
“Have you ever seen a monkey’s reaction time?”
GSP "you wanna do things that stimulate him"
Joe Rogan *chub appears*
This is a whole new level of professionalism to what I try to do in jits: I liked to refer to a "move/technique" as a unit of time, so it provides an idea of when one would be able to successfully implement a move, depending on distance/complexity; but breaking it down into frames makes it so much more specific, both to the move & to the person.
GSP, this is why we still respect you as the consummate mixed martial artist!
“The hands can never match the eyes” Champions are made from their ability to study and improve themselves, case in point; Georges St-Pierre
GSP and Tom Brady are the the kings of study for their crafts.
GSP + Firas and Brady + Belichick.
This just shows you GSP is on another level. The 🐐 imo
Watched from UFC58 St.Pierre vs Penn, & Still Watching in 2021‼️GSP▫️🐐❕
GSP will always be one of the GOATS in the UFC and MMA, such a class act, so smart, so dangerous, and such a well rounded human being.
This is one of the coolest clips on fighting iq i have ever seen, i wish i was still competing so i can implement it to my sport
Wow, this had me smiling so much from the brilliance of it all.
The GOAT..what a mind!
Love to see George showing BJ respect one of my favorite fighters
Gotta love GSP the GOAT, a true rolemodel
Imagine being that guy measuring frames of ufc fighters for fun when suddenly the best welterweight of all time drops in to see his work. Unreal, GSP and his team changed the modern era of mma.
It's like playing mortal Kombat and you look up the moves that have the shortest frames to have that advantage it's crazy. At that time MMA fighters even now they don't understand the faint game
Israel understands this
That’s was brilliant! I admire GSP so much.
Thats crazy. The insight into fighting these days is so advanced.
GSP’s new secret weapon is his hair-mesmerizes his opponents, too strong for headphones even.
I remember a friend of mine who compete many times against Lyoto in Karate, saying he was the fastest guy on UFC. And then we were there giving him some names to compare and he was saying : "Lyoto is faster" so someone said "BJ Penn" and he hesitated and said: "Man, BJ is a bullet".
BJ fought Machida. Should watch it.
@@tinkertanner165 I still think it’s so crazy BJ got all the way up to 190 to fight him. It’s also super cool in the context of the comparison of their speed!
Fascinating stuff!!! GSP and Firas are absolute legends.
Wow you learn something everyday. Fascinating stuff 🙌🏼
Brilliant insights by GSP.
“And now for my secret weapon, unknown to all mankind, I use video footage and feints”
Man I love it. Talking about overloading his opponents, not just physically tiring them out but mentally exhausting them as well. Giving the brain too much to think about, overwhelming them, and if they're overloaded, then they're open and vulnerable.
That’s why GSP is the greatest of all time. Dudes out there attacking his opponent’s nervous system at distance! 🇨🇦 🐐
One of the many reasons why he's the GOAT.
robbed johnny hendricks and quit the sport, avoided all tough challenges. goat? nah
@@Gematrinator but he's old now, and he doesn't want to fight, why should he. He's living his life and training other people, he's even gotten into television and movies and stuff. one fight doesn't make the difference between whether someone is a great fighter or not.
@@Gematrinator Hendricks was on so much goddamn juice for that fight he could have opened up his own smoothie bar by just pissing into cups, also right before usada started cracking down heavy. Yes he got robbed but GSP literally brought a knife to a gun fight for that one. As far as avoided hardest challenges I couldnt disagree more
@@actionjackson1332 everybodys on steroids including ur idol gsp
@@Gematrinator legit he was the first person to voluntarily admit himself into the usada testing pool yearsssss ago but ok you know better
God damn, GSP has such passion for MMA still.
I know right?.........I miss those days yrs ago.
I just realized/remembered......he actually said he doesn't actually like fighting/competing.
Its great that GSP was open to learn from someone like that.
love the cursor on the middle of the screen for the whole video, thanks substitute teacher.
GSP is the Bruce Lee of UFC. He's ahead of the game and ahead of his time.
Bruce who?
If BJ Penn had the same preparation and work ethic GSP had he would have been unstoppable in the UFC. Probably the most naturally gifted fighter I've seen in the sport. Just didn't always have the work ethic and heart to turn him from a great fighter into the goat
Gsp a legend in life I like this George guy
GSP is very interesting to listen to. Such a smart guy.
tldr in Fighting Game terms
- talk was about IRL frame data.
- BJ PENN: fastest start-up frames, lowest recovery frames.
- IRL start-up frames and reaction times lower if you overload their nervous system with animation cancels (fakes/feints). people's frame data actually change as the fight progresses.
Damn. This is the science of fighting. GSP does strategies unlike anyone.
this guy just sounds like a legendary man
He was always such a strategic fighter and the gsp reign was my favorite ufc years 🙏
Good thing Khabib escaped GSP's framing.
Lol fr. Khabib just stands there, but tbh he doesn't flinch much.
Fast Reaction time.
Poor reset time.
Tiring CNS with Feints, to slow down Reaction time
intelligent polite skilled all Top Class!He learnt from every fight,esp his losses,comes back stronger!😃
GSP is such a fucking legend, best fighter in UFC history
For anyone who's wondering, it's Lyoto Machida who had the second fastest reaction time.
Until Jon feinted with his knee and caught him with a left overhand.
Martial ART to the fullest degree. Just listening to his strategies and revelation is nothing short of inspiring.
GSP is just on another level. 🐐
This was a fantastic clip. Good eye.
this dude is pretty high level and smart about his fights. I've probably heard more interesting and unique training ideas from GSP interviews than from all other fighters combined.
That technique reminds me of those old b/w bruce lee clips whereby they tried use the camera to capture the movement of his punch but it was just too fast.
Stop
One of the REAL G.O.A.Ts in the UFC
GSP basically talking about the boxing art of feints
I find it funny that a gsp gets made fun of by Americans for having a funny accent but if they took him seriously they’d realize why Canada loves him
Just because people joke about his accent that doesn't mean he isn't taken seriously by Americans... I don't even know how you came to that conclusion because people all over the country and world comment how he's the goat under any video he's in. People say he would be a UFC hall of fame member.
He's respected and loved already. It's called doing a caricature. Exaggerating the most obvious traits of an individual.
Gap is the only guy that doesn’t get bullied for having an accent
Canada doesn't love him. Québec does.
I'm sorry to say but English speaking Canadians don't respect anyone from Québec who speaks french. They think we're racists, bigots, and eat the babies of anyone not born in this land. True story.
Google Amir Attaran. He's a true representative of what English Canadians think of Québécois.
I lived among them for years, and I know exactly what I'm talking about.
@@CdeHavillandMosquito Quebec people are racists 2 face bigots and everyone loves GSP...
@@leroyalflush5026 I rest my case
He wasn’t only an incredible martial artist but man he also brought the highest level of intelligence to breaking down his opponents. Just amazing. I doubt there is a single fighter who thinks like this even now. The guy is literally a living breathing Goku.
I don’t doubt we’ve seen him use kaioken
The absolute humility of this guy. "I won the fight by an inch". When he pretty clearly won 29-28, first round he lost rounds 2 and 3 he won pretty clearly by grappling.
Legend man
Jon jones has the god given talent but he will never be a GSP
Jones pissed dirty,not even allowed in the top 10
@@leroyalflush5026 ehhhhhhhhh idk man gsp never had to deal with.usada for all we know gsp couldve been in canada with needle up his arse but ig its all about wat u can prove. Picogram or not jones is a talented man
The only thing to beat Jon Jones are piss tests, usada, and the iron head of Matt hamill
They both arguably were gifted decision wins. GSP vs Hendricks, Jones vs Gustafsson 1, and Jones vs Reyes. Khabib though, he smashed everyone… except Tibau.
Gsp with this haircut is killing me. He is my favorite fighter but he was always bald for no reason. He has a great head of hair but went with the spartan bald look.
He looked cooler and tougher bald tho.
Legit he looks like a metro bisecual hair stylist with this hair, js 😂
Wait do you like him with or without hair? We wait on your response, sir
Better for a fighter to shave his hair off
My favourite UFC guy. Always loved seeing GSP beat up the guys who trash talked him beforehand.
Ok ok ok, now I am impressed by your pre form ance. GOAT for a reason!
Gotta love a rich dude like bj etc that just fight for the sake of it
Being a "rich dude" coming from a wealthy family with all the natural talent in the world led to BJ Penns weakness. Laziness.
@@bentleyfonsworth9604 hard work beats talent
I thought he was gonna say his corner rubbed Vaseline on him in between rounds 😂
It was for one round, got cleaned with the towel after that because BJ's corner said it to the ref, the outcome would have been the same without it. Total domination from GSP.
@@S.H.N.80s you see how I put the laughing emoji to symbolize that I was joking
@@koryggg Irony is different in different cultures bro. Here are many guys that claim it's the only reason GSP won. Sry if i missunderstood.
@@S.H.N.80s I hear you though I’m from Hawaii and gsp is still one of the goats to me without a doubt
TRULY GENIUS 🙏🏻
Really great explaination for why high level fighters feint a lot at the start.
GSP is such a master , a real warrior , smart as hell ,he would figure how to beat khabi for sure
Khabib knew it too.
Love GSP, but Khabib would have destroyed a lot of guys that GSP struggled with. Khabib represents the elite of the elite in wrestling who actually became a smooth striker. Khabib was barely entering his peak.
I thought BJ won that first fight but it was super close.
GSP. What a great fighter!
GSP is the greates but isn't what he's describing just a feint that boxers use all the time regardless of the opponent? Wouldn't throwing a bunch a feints mess anyones timing up? Just curious.
It’s similar but he’s talking about it in regards to all different types of attacks. In boxing you can feint different types of punches and hip movements, but in mma you can feint a huge amount of things. Because of the threat of takedowns you can feint entire body movements causing the opponents body to tighten up and prepare to sprawl as a defense, which would take a lot more out of you than just needing to parry a punch.
People often do it for short time advantage. Like i feigned the previous punch so my next punch will land. He is talking about long time advantage. A plan for the first rounds to dominate the last rounds
Yo! GSP is talking about my boy Weasel! His youtube channel is dope. Dude is a mma genius.
well what's his channel?! Lol
@@godiegolem Dude! what's mine say!? SWEET!
@@Tony-bv7gz ? I still can't tell what the name of your friend's channel is
@@godiegolem I thought you were trolling me. His channel is "TheWeasle" he is literally a scientist of Fighting
@@Tony-bv7gz Cool! I wanted to check it out, a real life fighting frame data analyst sounds so interesting haha. I'm a fighting game fan and a mma fan and never thought the two could have something in common haha
This right here is the Science in Fight Science. Thanks GSP
GSP studying so he can speedrun through the UFC like normal people speedrun Mortal Kombat
What a true genius of mixed martial arts. Dude's literarilly analyzing frame by frame for weaknesses.
I thought it was the IVs he used on Nick Diaz xD
yeah and the earth is flat
You believe pothead Diaz??
He protecc, he attacc
But most importantly, he watch the fight bacc
George’s was always a clever mental fighter.
