George elevates MMA with his class, honesty, and humility.
He lost against Hendricks but didn't really acknowledge it. He knows he lost. Probably why he disappeared afterwards.
Class
TRU MAN no, he won. Just didn’t dominate like he usually does.
@@mikehsu5872 Nah bruh, I watched the fight. He lost big time. The thing with title fights is if you don't knock the champ out you won't win. It's very rare that a champion loses to decision if it goes the distance.
@J T You don't know that lol
Hendricks was 1 win and 5 losses after the UFC started using USADA for testing. I don't think it requires a person to graduate from middle school to see the correlation there.
Causation?
Well, there were no studies done, so I didn't wanna go too far... ;)
Under Pride rules he won but as far as UFC scoring goes it's far from a stretch to say GSP won 3 rounds. He certainly won 3 (iirc) and 5 with 1 being a toss up and the champ usually gets the nod on those.
GSP's biggest mistake in that fight was trying to wrestle him, when he was striking he was winning it's just roided up Hendricks seemed to be largely unfazed by many hard shots and i think GSP didn't want to risk getting caught. I think he could have won a rematch with a better gameplan, but honestly Hendricks didn't deserve it, it was just too obvious he was cheating.
Correlation doesn’t mean causation, dumbass.
Kevlar44 GSP feared Hendricks power to much that’s why he always tried to wrestle with him even the Johny got the better in wrestling exchanges. I think GSP thought if he kept point fighting with Hendricks he would eventually get knocked out
Bisping = tough guy
Prime Penn = tough skill
Condit = tough damage
If GSP fought bisping in his prime in middleweight the fight would’ve gone alot differently
@@skittlemuncher2244 Didn't happen lol. And GSP would have dominated as bad. Tell me why Bisping ducked Yoel Romero and Gegard Mousasi. Lol
Koscheck = tough knuckle damage
@@patricklutherwinchester4260 that's not funny at all, I didn't laugh
@@skittlemuncher2244 GSP still would of beat Bisping. GSP wasn't in his prime either. He'd been out 4 years. Same thing would of happened. GSP would of wrestle fucked him. I like Bisping but it's also GSP.
These Kids these days will never know how truely great it was to watch BJ penn in his prime!
Cain Bradley He was great unfortunately stuck around to long and people forgot about how amazing he was and the true guy that would fight anywhere anytime
Fortunately you can still respect the shit out of him in hindsight for crazy shit like fighting Machida, even as someone who didn't watch that era.
He really was. "The Prodigy". Its funny BJ could have been so much better over a longer period, yet he will still be known as one of the best MMA fighters ever
BJ was the toughest dude out there back in the day.
@Ben Lynd ur a little shit smart ass aint ya? Need ur ass beat.
He's so thoughtful, humble and considered - I don't think we'll see anyone like him in MMA again.
He ain’t thoughtful . Guy must’ve forgot about his Johnny Hendricks fight. Hendricks beat the hell out of him
@@bobdole7292 Isn't that the guy that got ktfo by an adult actor ?
@@bobdole7292 You mean a dude who was popped for steroids?
Bj Penn was an absolute animal. World class jiu jitsu, fantastic take down defence, great hands, crazy dexterous, granite chin and a mind of a warrior.
Perhaps he needed more discipline to be greater than he was - which was already great enough
BJ Penn was his own worse enemy. The dude was an absolute monster in his prime...made a prime Diego Sanchez look like an amateur and did so much for the sport, yet these new fight fans don't give him any credit.
GSP handled that question better than a native English speaker, in regards to the meaning of the word tough
Dude is a fucking genius savant who just happened to be the most proficient at the fight game
"genius savant"? why don't you relax.
you green kid, you too soft
@@Frip36 is your brain sleeping on sunday?! lmao
Tough is a word we use in French in Quebec all the time. A Quebecois who doesn't speak a word of English knows what it means.
so glad he mentioned Condit: "back in the day" Carlos, reliably "beat the shit out of his opponent" even when "losing" !!
I love Condit
That man got robbed against Lawler. Seemed to lose his killer instinct after that fight :/
@@markfrascinella8707 Lets hope he's back
I agree - I really liked both GSP and Condit; it was hard watching that fight. Both were amazing fighters.
@@markfrascinella8707 he won that fight.. Hugest BS by the judges
Fun fact:
GSP once said in an interview that Carlos is the one guy he'd never want to fight again.
It was a hell of fight. Condit had fire in his eyes at the beginning of the fight. He was really mean.
@@francisprieur1334 your statement was kinda gay
@@marcelosb6941 if that’s how you want to see it
Such a quality guy. Humble and intelligent.
complex mind & has even seen (maybe been on) a UFO? Higher octave thinking
GSP, the pound for pound greatest of them all !
GSP = G.O.A.T
@Goat James you must be low iq. Jon Jones is 40lbs heavier than gsp minimum. And hes a drug cheat. GSP is the GOAT 100%
@Goat James drug cheats dont get considered for GOAT position, period. GSP is far and away the goat of the sport and millions agree. Get over it kid.
Not as lethal as Khabib.
@@AndreiLucaa If anyone would have defeated Khabib it was GSP.
I was waiting for him to say Condit.. Man I miss Carlos in his prime.. His striking was just something else
Sad to see him lose the split to Lalwer. he deserved to be UFC champ even for a moment
@@paulparadoxia Carlos had the fight stolen from him. Both fighters weren’t the same afterwards.
Imagine using gsp's voice as Ur GPS voice....lol
Ryan Jones ehhh turn to di di leff on burhhjkleeeeyyy ava kneeuuuw
Mora UTD lol
everyone in the car dies and the gps is not impressed.
I'm very glad that you bought this car, but I'm not impressed by your driving performance.
no thanks dont need to hear "im not impressed by your performance" every time i miss a turn
I bet most of you who are talking about the hendricks fight, have never seen the first BJ Penn fight.
*BUT, probably the the biggest reason why he may choose to ignore hendricks is because he's the best example of the USADA effect* , where even hendricks refused to do VADA testing for the fight stating that he thought VADA wasn't impartial (because he saw GSP mentioned on their site, which is a real weak excuse). He even says in this interview that he doesn't consider Jon Jones as GOAT because of the PED issue.
Why acknowledge cheaters?
Mashrur So why did GSP only want to do testing against Hendricks. Why not against Condit Diaz or any of the other fighters he faced. That’s fishy to me
He did with the Condit fight. From what i recall, GSPs obsession for drug testing came about after the first time him and Diaz were scheduled to fight, as Nick Diaz was probably the one who got into GSPs head the most, and begged Dana for the fighter after Nick called him out.
(Diaz lost the opportunity after no showing two conference events and it went to condit instead, and Diaz would fight BJ Penn, then GSP got injured and and Condit would wait. After the Diaz BJ Penn fight, Nick called out GSP, and GSP begged Dana for the fight against Diaz. GSP tore his ACL and was out again, so they made the interim title Condit vs Diaz, where Condit won, and then lost to GSP when he came back, and then Diaz would also face GSP after.)
So with Condit he offered VADA testing, but Condit offered USADA instead, to which GSP said no. You gotta understand that at the time, USADA wasn't popular amongst fighters and it was associated with WADA, WADA which was a joke, known for helping PED users to get passed doping. And also on top of that USADA was really shady at the time (although very reputable), meaning their methods weren't professional, a lot of which was seen when USADA was first implemented, like coming in the middle of the night to fighters, Tim Kennedy (whos in the military, is part of and advocates things that some might want to hurt him for), he pulled a gun on one that was following him suspiciously, Chael Sonnen tells the story of one USADA employee that had no ID took him to a closet to collect his urine.
Idk if anything happened with the diaz fight, i can't find anything either. But Diaz has been caught for using marijuana multiple times, and if you don't think marijuana is a PED, you should see what grapplers have to say about it, it enhances the mind, and GSP even talked about, in his latest appearance on JRE, that PEDs which enhance senses and the mind are more dangerous that steroids in general.
Rock TheElement because PED’s allows you to train 10 times as hard and suffer from much less muscle damage and not having to rest as much and just simply increasing overall muscle strength and endurance , it’s a huge advantage in any sport and if I was GSP I would bring up that steroid freaks name either ... you have to think of it in the long term as well , Hendricks didn’t just choose to use PED’s for that one fight 😂 he’s been using them most likely throughout his entire career , his body was in beast mode lol , GSP should have told Hendricks to fuck himself and fought someone else who isn’t a cheating bum
Dynamic Fastener naa he was on them , any professional athlete who isn’t on them would take the test no problem no questions asked ... it’s like if your girlfriend asks to see your phone and you say no , you only say no if you have something to hide , if he had nothing to hide then he wouldn’t be hiding
Dynamic Fastener it’s a psychology thing but I doubt someone like you would be able to understand lol , but it’s alright not many people have the capability or just simply the intelligence to be able to comprehend something like that
GSP with a brilliant answer.
You give this guy 1 question he has 3 answers... AND That's why he is so good im the octagon👊
thank you for the comment octagon.
That Condit kick was scary good. All is GSP 🐐 fans seeing our guy stay composed and fight through it is one of the greatest moments of his storied career.
I think I remember watching his interview on Joe Rogan. He said he hates fighting and gets nervous every fight. Coming from one of the best fighters in the UFC, what a humble guy
GSP is a smart guy
yeah you can tell he wants to say something but his english is holding him back
Such a class act, that GSP. I always respected his amazing skill as one of the undisputed all-time greats of MMA, but appreciate him so much more now in retrospect.
He’s always a class act. Awesome guy and I liked how he answered the question.
Such humility from such a badass. Everyone can learn a lot from this guy.
GSP is GOAT when it comes to humbleness. GOD bless GSP!! The GOAT period!!!!
The GOAT.
gsp asking in the end if the way he answered was okay, it was amazing. gives us much more insight than just a normal answer
I love it how George is so smart that hes answers a lota questions with different variations that makes the person asking the question contemplate things about the question they didnt even consider...George a real thinker,not alota people like that
Such a pleasant and intelligent man. Thank you GSP!
i remember his first fight against THE PRODIGY. that's one of the greatest fight i've seen. two legends in one octagon going at each other. oh missed those kind of fight.
I’m glad he didn’t mention Hendricks
Legend.
The Roger Federer of MMA.
Respect.
you mean the rafa nadal of MMA
GSP is such a humble, respectful person. He is proof you dont need to be an act like a bully to be a great fighter. One of the best ever.
As usual, an amazing answer from GSP, and entertaining as hell
A COMPLETE answer from a COMPLETE fighter
GSP is a Treasure
You are awesome GSP not only that you are tough and disciplined and humble. You are also smart in answering questions.
A true class act and one of the all time greats of MMA
Great answer !
Like most things....it’s never a simple as it seems
That was the best way to answer that question
+1 on Bisping. That dude is a savage, gave an eye for the sport. Respect.
The Greatest fighter of all time in my eyes and his humbleness and respect just add to the legend that is GSP.
Nice to hear him praising Penn. Those two r in my top 5.
💯
Yea i think Penn gets written off because he ruined his legacy, and the way hes acted outside the cage. Hard to pick a guy as one of the greatest when you see video of him getting KTFO by a drunk fatty outside a bar
GSP such a king god damn....
GSP, always the gentleman 🙏🏻
GSP is the guy for me to admire and respect.
a gentleman and a monster.
I agree with GSP. Michael Bisping is definitely one of the toughest fighters the UFC had.
The guy fought with one eye. He is legally blind in one eye. Imagine he had 2.
He definitely is. He survived multiple Hbombs from hendo. Which is impressive because that shit knocked out heavyweights.
He had to be right .20 pounds...thats crazy
Respect
@@yettiman2817 watch the gastelum ko, he hits him right in the blind spot. Bisping never saw it coming, really goes to show that maybe if he had both eyes it would have went a little differently
Nobody is The Greatest. But he definitely is one of The Greats.
deekay2 Jon Jones is the greatest, juicing or not. Anyone who knows the sport will agree
@@chrishandsome4267 I know the sport from 20 years of analyzing it and jon jones is a cheat, never able to be called a goat
@@chrishandsome4267 I wanna see gsp kill jon Jones
willpower242 then who’s the greatest kiddo? Jones has been off the juice for a few fights & hasn’t lost. Y’all are a bunch of biased casuals period, probably think Trump is racist too lol
@@chrishandsome4267 1 Fight. He tested postive in both the Alex and Smith fight. Only the Santos fight was Clean.
Liked all the honesty.
I always liked GSP. Great attitude and a good Champion for the sport.
I guessed right he was going to say Bisping
Same
Canada's pride and enjoy humble champion.
I think you meant Québec's pride!
Pure class thanks reporters miss him my altimeter favourite fighter and athlete
God bless him for this response !!
also GSP:
"My easiest fight was i believe Johnny Hendricks" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a guy
Very thorough
Any other person just would’ve given a flat out name and wouldn’t have delve any further into it
Always fun to hear GSP talk about the wars he's survived. Good to see that he has his mental faculties intact.
Gsp always class.
Johnny boy for sure
He was on his way to losing that fight when Penn began to gas in the second round and of course George never runs out...consequently 29-28 x 3 (from what I remember).
I remember that fight, BJ fucked GSP's face all up. When they showed the two fighters right before the decision, BJ had no real damage and George looked like he had been hit by a truck. At the time, I thought that BJ should have got the decision on the discrepency in damage alone, but I had a ton of respect for George's toughness.
@@bwdrums1 they can't take visible damage into scoring. Tbf to GSP, you flick him and it leaves a mark. Some guys bruise and cut so easily, others can be punched in the face 100 times and not a scratch.
Class!
Gsp is the reason I got into the sport! He’s a great martial artist and even better guy
The GSP Vs Hendricks right was close. The first time I watched it I thought clearly Johny won but after rewatching it sober I can see the judges decision being justifiable. Possibly 2-2 going into the 5th and Johny thought he had it in the bags so he decided to take round 5 off while GSP came in looking like he wanted to win the fight. If the judges saw the same thing that’s prob why 2 gave him the nod
URDeThroned For once, an honest and correctly assessed review of that fight.
3-2 rounds.
16 more significant strikes.
That clinch control in the 5th...Johnny lost.
who? hendricks? Who is that? Are you taking about the guy with the beard that consumed more steroids than all race horses since time began? if so, that guy never existed. now hendricks the guy with the beard who without steroids lost every match since , ya that guy is a douchbag, cheater.
Exactly. I had GSP winning 1, 3, 5 (as two of 3 judges did), but was very nervous because round 1 was basically a toss-up, I felt that it could have gone either way.
Hendricks only won round 1 and 4 , that's it lol. Hes cardio just wasn't their bc he needs to lay off beer and potato chips. George clearly out landed jh
That's exactly how I read it
Hendricks: “I wanna thank God first and formost for Steroids....”
...also Jon Jones
What a great answer! 🐐
such a down to earth dude, and yet, still a badass.
I was thinking Hendricks and Hughes would be in there
Clearly his clothing stylist.
@Jeffro Lans 800 dollar shirt but still looks like a picnic table
@Jeffro Lans If it is, that's exactly 10,000% too much.
That was a great, analytical, thoughtful answer - from a gentleman who does know of what he speaks. I found his answer very interesting and educational.
People don't remember how close the first GSP vs Penn really was. Could've gone either way. Penn really was the prodigy.
You guys. That was an honest answer. He was in the cage not you. Face damage isnt the same as internal or brain trauma like condit vs hendricks.
Hendricks was juiced up to his eyeballs when he fought GSP so i wouldn't mention him either
@JJ Kingman it's all speculation.
Legend, GOAT martial artist ❤
The GOAT..the legend...My hero
GSP: I had to go to the hospital to get one of my veins fixed.
Translation: I had to go up to my spaceship so the aliens can replace the chip that was broken.
He avoid saying Hendrix but we all saw gsp's face and damage he took after that fight and Hendrix's looked like he didn't even fight.
Because Hendricks was on steroids
@@walterpitts9863 where's your proof? your not one of these dummies that's accuse a person of steroids without no evidence are you?
@@frankiecal3186 the fact he went 1 and 5 after usda came in
@@MystiCalBEING89 that's speculation usada also removed iv's which he admits helped him iv's are not steroids. Also no actual evidence of that just speculation.
iv's are still bad it u use them u use steroids no but ur right not a single ufc fighter was ever on steroids
I remember watching Matt Hughs and gsp fight for the first time. I wanted Matt to win and he did barely. I was amazed at gsp conditioning and speed. Fun watching him through the years. GOAT for sure. Also I remember in that same time both GSP and Matt Hughs fighting Penn. Penn was a beast and put a hurting on them both. Penn gifted with his boxing and superior flexibility in his legs and hips. He was hard to control.
My Fravourite fighter of all time honest exciting inspirational. True Legend.
Nick Diaz: am i joke to you?
GSP:....dude...i gave u a 5 round beatdown
Erick Miranda hugged him for 5 rounds
u both right..he beat him, he hug him, he tried everything, only seen despair 2 times in GSP face, against Hendrix and Nate..was not the toughest fight but he raised his hands in the end like holy shit this guy.. good times
The Aliens must have brainwashed Johny Hendricks from GSPs memory
Or he legitimately didn't think Hendricks was a very tough opponent.
Because you shouldn’t celebrate cheaters
The aliens must have taken the steroids out of Hendricks body when USADA came along.
Steroid abusing freak, who lost every single fight but one right after USADA came in, yea let's count that guy.
If you don't know how good PJ Penn was, he might have been the greatest natural fighter ever. 2 years into studying BJJ he won the worlds. Unless you have no fucking clue that level of skill that takes, you know GSP is being honest in what he says...
Salute to the legened.. gsp
Such a humble guy
BJ Penn was such a beast in his prime, the rematch was such a bad beatdown.
Yes. GSP would have probably done severe damage to Penn if it went to Rd 5. But good for Penn to have such a great run at 155. I always liked watching Penn fight and I cheered for him as long as he wasn't fighting Georges.
Carlos condit
That’s a thorough response, he says it like we saw it. GSP is a champ in and out of the ring.
such a thorough answer
“He close my eye with strike” Hendricks must’ve messed up his memory too
JD057 he is french moron....tcapable parler une autre language sans problems?
tom russell French-Canadian and yes I understand what you’re saying but if you got my joke maybe you wouldn’t have made an ass out of yourself friend
how did I make an ass of myself? your joke was dull
i dont even like gsp lol
people make fun of gsp for how he speaks English yet most speak only one language and not even properly
and its usually Americans, so if you flew under the radar not my problem :p
tom russell you made an ass of yourself for calling me a moron without knowing maybe if you were less impulsive you could avoid it. I am American btw so nice job lumping everyone together learn to not insult people for no reason friend
I love how he doesn’t give Hendricks any credit
@Steve Barnes Thats bullshit no one made him retire except himself.
The humble champion 💪
So humble
Big controversy in that 1st fight between GSP and BJ Penn. GSP cheated. I bet most of these Millennial fans didn't know that. GSP isn't as Invincible as he appears.
GSP was having issues with BJ's rubber guard on the ground, so GSP's corner clearly started rubbing a shit load of Vaseline on GSP's upper Back making it impossible for BJ Penn to use his rubber gaurd. Dana was so pissed after the fight, same time Dana couldn't do shit! 😂😛
home sanitarium Romero?
GSP wants nothing to do with Romero. 😂 You can say the same for Michael Bisping.
home sanitarium Romero would get killed by DC
@@snowrabbit4829 I think so also. Romero doesn't have the lungs to keep up with DC.... Still, it would be an interesting match-up. DC admits Romero would most likely school him in the Wrestling department.
Micheal bisping was the toughest guy gsp fought that says a lot
#BigBispingFan
Gsps the man
Go GSP a legend 👍
What's that, mush mouth?
GSP forgot to mention Johnny Hendricks i remember that fight he look like he got in car accident fighting against Johnny
Denny Cadieux You gonna copy and paste that comment on every post?? Lmao still salty Hendricks kicked his ass. GSP still has a W under his record why are you so defensive? Maybe because you like George’s knows he lost that fight
Silvafox but he is a steroid head
Denny Cadieux Jonny would have killer bj at any time in his career good Jonny vs good bj . Jonny wins every time on roids
I guess you forgot to mention steroids.
Silvafox if someone looked at Fedor from the right angle his face would bruise and cuts would open. Looking at someone afterwards isn’t a good tell for who won the fight.
I thought he was going to say Johnny Hendricks
props to GSP
He explained it best thanks GSP after all you were taking it you know
I thought he was going to say that tablecloth he had to submit to make that Jackirt
His toughest fight has to be Hendricks?? He battered the head of him
He doesn't remember how tough a fight it was because he got beat down so bad. He admitted as much in the post fight interview.
He didn’t mention him because he was on roids , that’s why he stepped down cuz everyone was on the juice
Xerces No he stepped out so his body could re adjust to being off steroids while all the other fighters had to suffer the effects of being off roids. GSP is mad Hendricks had better gear then he had
Denny Cadieux he basically "retired" him for a few years
He tapped dude
Class act
What a legend
