If GSP jumped in the ring and gave Usman the old “I’m not impressed with your performance” it would be amazing
I always read that sentence with his voice regardless if its MMA related or not haha
I’m very glad you won your fight Marty, but I’m not impressed by your performance and I hope to fight you very soon
Cage*
GSP would take Usman’s back and choke him out via rear naked choke
GSP is the biggest coward to ever step foot in the cage.
Sometimes, i look at guys like GSP and Khabib and think it must be nice to retire at top
ain't Johny Hendricks beat him but then the judges just gave it to gsp anyways
@@hustleman1340 exactly he retired at the top
@@hustleman1340 Even if you think Hendricks won, GSP still retired on top. He choked out Bisping
Khabib has beaten no fighters that will ever be considered HOF, except Conor and that’s because Conor literally can’t wrestle to save his life. GSP has beaten hall of famers.
@@benlewis5312 he lost to Hendricks so that bisping fight never happens, gsp has Dana white privilege
"I don't miss it at all!" *holding back tears*
He would get very nervous before fights.
He doesn't miss getting beat up.

Who... masvidal?

GSP wasn't beat up enough to miss anything.
He's one of the most dominant fighters in UFC history.
"Hit him with your groin George" - Greg Jackson:
Haha the best advice I've ever heard the corner man give
@@raginhaver it actually was good advice though 😂
haha iconic line
Best coaching in ufc history 😂
hahahahaha🤣
Gsp is having too much fun teasing us. 😂
I think he was just answering the reporter's hypothetical question. He said twice in 45 seconds that he's not coming back. Dude never really liked the job, he was just too good at it to not do it.
@@thenostalgiabusiness He's still teasing tho?
Connor would knock gsp block off
@@timbuck2406 nice one haha
It's the reporters and fans that keep bringing it up, GSP already moved on with his life lol
Good for him. Dude has literally *NOTHING* to prove and to expect him to come back is pure selfishness
Then why'd he come back for Bisping?
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu $ talks
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu because he wanted to obviously.. not because we wanted him to
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu to be double champ, to say that he’s done it
@@ClearChoiceMethodology then that would fall under selfish which the original comment is talking about when reasoning why he shouldn't
The fact that GSP puts Khamzat in the same convo as Usman and Khabib is impressive
The impression that I get from all the different fighters I've seen talk about him on CZcams is that almost all the pros agree that he's terrifying. And as a casual fan who happens to have been around a lot of tough guys trying to fight all the time, I gotta agree that the guy has the crazy eyes. And if you watch his fights you can tell his bloodthirsty and violent he wants to be, he jumps at guys like an attack dog fr.
Khamzat strongest of them all
@Kubratov eh. Kind of. I agree with that a little bit. Khamzat also looked good in that fight and got the W. If anything they should fight again and I bet they would both have different game plans and it would be exciting AF again haha
@Dady that fight was closer then you think bro. Burns was by far khamzats toughest fight to date that I've seen
@@Revan27271 it was a true fight and they both laid everything in that cage it was closer then people realise both dominated at times both had key strikes that could've finished the other it was as Jim Ross says "a slobber knocker" 😂😂😂😂😂
Congratulations on a near perfect career and thank you for everything, Georges.
THE TRUE GOAT
@@juliomenendez5164 Khabib is perfect. GSP is near perfect
@@michaelneilvalencia2205 khabib fought more nobodies
@@s66s46yeah justin , dustin , Connor mctaper , barbosa is nobody okay I understood, that 4 name at that moment is top 10 lightweight and u just said khabib fight nobody hm okay I understand that u just a stupid haters that just watch a ufc yesterday 👍🏻sometimes its okay to be a stupid haters
Idk how you would say it was near perfect I’d say it was a picture perfect career he beat matt hughes and Serra after losing to them and after all that came back 5 years later and beat bisping. 12 title defences
All you khabib meat riders are high if you think khabib was better
Alright, I'm coming back!
Nah no wait
Let’s go Pete you got this champ
The most anticipated return since Brock Lesnar
No no no no.. 💀
Nah nah nah
I love how gsp is not hesitant to mention how he hated the actual fighting part of martial arts
Getting hit in the head and choked out is hard to miss lol
He didn’t hate the fighting part, he hated all the training, weight cuts etc etc
@@hassanamir387 no, the first person is right, he had a documentary on HBO I think many years ago and he stated this, it caused him mental stress to fight and hurt people. He felt it was a big contradiction within himself.
Yeah, he said he loves training but hates fighting.
@carlosplatero2581 As a former boxer I concur the constant weightloss and stressing about "did I make it to this very minute specific weight?" Was incredibly stressful
More than anything, i love his last statement: "...and i don't miss it at all."
George always played by his own rules and i respect him for that more than anything else.
Good for him, he didn't enjoy violence and he looks amazing with his whole life ahead of him. Compare that to Lidell and Tito, who are destroying what'sleft of their nervous systems still trying to hold on.
My favorite of all time..gracious..
Im coming back! Nah nah nah 😂🤣😅
You forgot “Allright”😁
Khabib vs GSP was such an intriguing stylistic matchup.
Oh well... Maybe in the next life.
GSP is a horrible match up for Khabib
Gda Rippa Khabib is a horrible matchup for everyone
@@calvincalvin3132 - GSP and Usman both beat Khabib. You think Khabib is gonna rag doll them? Khabib is the better wrestler out of the 3 but their wrestling will cancel out so they would turn into kickboxing fights and GSP and Usman are better strikers than Khabib
@@gdarippa69 how though? Khabib wouldn't stand up against Usman. If Colby can challenge Usman with the wrestling and grappling, then Khabib would ragdoll Usman. I like both Usman and Khabib, and Usman is much stronger physically, but stylistically, Khabib has the advantage against Usman. In fact, Khabib has an advantage against Izzy too. Khabib wouldn't stand up with Izzy, all he would have to do is feint and get into range without taking too many shots, then its end of story for Izzy. GSP on the other hand, is very good with offensive grappling and quite good with defensive wrestling too. GSP would still be an underdog but would be a more even stylistic matchup than Usman or Izzy. It's just that Khabibs style is awful to draw any sort of gameplan against.
@@gdarippa69 Nah, I wouldn't say a horrible match up but it would be a pretty close fight against GSP. And I think Khabib wouldn't ragdoll but he would outgrapple Usman.
I actually wouldn’t want GSP to return. He’s the GOAT and the conversation is over. Good to see he’s happy in retirement
Facts the mma goat honestly isn’t even debatable. Anderson had a sick run but lost a bunch, Jones would of been if he kept fighting and didn’t juice all the time lol
Really and truly GOAT is debatable but 29-0 will always be the highlight of the conversation
@@hassanchaudhary9300 13-0 in UFC compared to GSP 26-2. Half Khabibs record is absolute nobodies. GSP fought the best of the best almost every fight
@@tmac2798 facts.
@@hassanchaudhary9300 khabib fans make it hard to like him
Surprised when he say chimaev
And also glad
He is intelligent... A person with high level of grappling skills instead of a striking fighters
I love when the good guys like him become legends of the sport. Its good for the sport.
Just like wonderboy or people down to earth like Jiri
Because it doesn't become a egos battle but a display of sportmanship, respect and mixed martial arts
The fact that chimaev was one of the 3 ‘best’ guys on the 🐐’s mind is everything you need to know about 🐺!!!
Lmao what…. He just mentioned him because of the hype obviously. I love Chimaev but he cannot be put on the same level as Khabib and Usman yet. That being said, Chimaev beats Usman by decision lmao
@@Chris-2 If you never been humbled or even damaged in an actual fight then you would of understood what kinda animal Khamzat is…
The fight with burns was nothing. He got emotional and burns strategy was SURVIVE.
@@Chris-2 he’s not on the level of Usman but beats Usman? What’s it like up there on that fence your sitting on?
@@damascus6155 We all saw the fight, Burns did just fine. You’re making it sound way worse than it was.
@@niqowyd do you know what sarcasm is?😂 I was talking like Khamzat fans jesus I thought the “lmao” was an indicator enough
For Khamzat to not win a championship yet be considered the best by GSP is something else. Respect to Khamzat
Yessir respect to gsp and khamzat love em both 15:17 apr 18 2023 lets get triple champion pls
The thing is personally khamzat is not a ww but a lhw if he were to do a title run for lhw he could win with like a 70% chance
@@whatyoulookinat1095 really? is he normally lhw. i thought he mididlewight lel, hes only 6"2 man isnt he how can he be built for 205
"I don't miss it at all!"... except for when you came back for the Bisping fight! Lidell, Meisha, Tito, Rampage, etc... There's a fire burning in a fighter's heart. Who knows if can ever be put out.
Khabib vs GSP would have been super fun to watch. Shame Dana kinda messed it up when it could have been booked.
Yeah maybe could have happend but Dana was pushing for khabibs last fight to be Conor for the money
@@IshakE1 It should have happened in 2018-19. GSP was younger and more recently active, not to mention both fighters wanted it. It's absurd that fight never happened
Gsp is always in shape and trains..it's his life style. He doesn't like the build up to the fights that's it
@@playerroku4412 no bro, age has a reason. Look at arnold right now
@@IshakE1 a GSP vs Khabib ( Khabib's retirement & GSP's return) that would easily break 229 PPV buys
The Greatest Of All Time
Certainly in MMA the greatest resume,the greatest fighter. And one of the best martial artists to ever live.
Agreed completely
Fedor is the GOAT
Use to be he 2nd after Kobe got the heavyweight belt and never loss.
Right after Jones
It's a young man's sport. He's got out with success, made his money and he's still articulate and isn't too badly injured. Smart man
I love how honest this man is. Always respectful and honest. A real example to follow
Even gsp count khamzat in bests now haters gonna need some burnol lol
Didn't he got wobbled by tiny Dilbert several times in their fight lol. I though he was supposed to smesh him. Sloppy Cumshot has no chance against Usman or even Colby lmao 🤣. Where's the noise with Cumshot? It looks like he had lost so many casual fanboys after the Dilbert fight. 😆.
@@genesiscruz2000 "tiny Dilbert" wobbled the champion too lol.
@@AztecUnshaven Yup just for a brief moment then the Champion Usman came back to stop him while tiny Dilbert was wiping the Floor with Cumshot. How many times did Khamzat wobbled tiny Dilbert but he still couldn't stop him? Weak LMAFO., Usman is the better striker and the better wrestler. Cumshot have no chance. Try again casual.
@@genesiscruz2000 is that you Colby?
@@ticogarcia8514 Is that you 😳 Masvidal? How was jail? Feels like home ? 😆.
Dana's pride let this one slip. Sad that we didn't get Khabib vs GSP
Oh yes. And if Khabib was to win it would make much more difficult for people to say Khabib had easy fights.
@@franciscohestnes not really that would have been a drained and old gspmcoming off a long layoff. Maybe if the fight was at 170, but khabib seemed hesitant to fight up a weight class. If khabib beat usman however then he'd undeniably be the goat
@@franciscohestnes People still would have said GSP was too old or cutting too much weight. Some people will hate Khabib no matter what he does
Hows it pride? GSP is totally done with fighting. Was never gonna come back to fight Khabib.
Dana white offered khabib the gsp fight but khabib turned it down
Somewhere in the multiverse, a gsp variant didn’t retired and still continued fighting 👊👊🔥🔥🔥
Colby is just punching the air right now
Gsp would wreck Colby
GSP IS THE GOAT OF MMA 🙌
What a life. To have lived like a warrior and to get to retire at an early age knowing the legacy you left behind. I bet this man wakes up feeling blissed, not lost like 90% of the population who are stuck in a job they hate.
Bro talking like he is gsp himself
Bro took a lot of punches in the face for that.
Something 90% won't accept.
The ONE MAN THAT HE WAS ALWAYS AFRAID OF FIGHTING AND NEVER WAS AFRAID TO SAY IT!!!. MUCH RESPECT AND HATS 🎩 OFF TO THIS TRUE GENTLEMAN 👏👏👏
Love GSP… classy dude on top of being one of the best fighters
Prime Anderson Silva vs Prime GSP would've been epic just like a primed Anderson Silva vs a primed Jon Jones would've been great for sure.
Jon Jones would have absolutely destroyed Silva with his wrestling.
Silva vs gsp would’ve been nice
Jones vs silva would’ve been ugly
Jones would’ve absolutely dominated him
Jon jones would’ve destroyed both, but prime gsp and prime anderson would’ve been gsp shooting for the legs 24/7
I miss gsp
Absolute legend. You know 100 percent he would fight these guys.
wow im surprised he said khamzat, he is my fav fighter but being that he is so new i would have never expected GSP to say he would like to fight him, he must view him as a real problem for the division
I bet if gsp said he would do one more fight but has to be khabib i believe def khabib would come back for that. I think gsp could beat all those guys right now at his age
Easy
I feel like Khabib could make gsp come out of retirement and vice Versa
That would be the biggest ever ppv
Khabib is never fighting at 170 so 🤣
@@thewheelchairhistorian4062 no it wouldnt, nobody buys khabib ppvs
Amazing fighter ❤❤❤! Always honest about how he feels ! One of the best !!
GSP was one scary dude when he was fighting. I'm glad to see that he has found happiness after MMA life.
GSP still one of The 🐐
The MMA Goat, without all the controversy. Clear GOAT.
@@MDXXIV True dat! Only real controversy is when Hendricks beat him and judges gave GSP the Win🤔
@@Bigload992G johnny juiced?
Hendricks dominated him
@@Bigload992G That’s true idk how I forgot about Hendricks. Idk if he was juicing or not but I do agree that GSP lost that one. Hendricks fall off was crazy too
Gsp vs Colby Covington would be a good, real technical fight I think, 8d pay for that ppv
As much as I like Colby, GSP Takes Chaos to deep waters he's never experienced
@@outlaw._.lazines facts way too strong gsp absolutely double legs Colby into the cage and then the rest is history
@@solomonnesby6281 With Colby's Cardio it's going to be a long beat down for him if he we're to last a 25 minute Beatdown.
His words say he doesn’t miss it. But his mannerisms says otherwise. GSP will always be a fighter at heart.
Love GSP, such a humble and cool guy plus considering his childhood and being bullied really bad he could’ve chose another path but he chose humbleness and sportsmanship. On top of pounding on em all when he was fighting
T H E G O A T 🐐
Khabib vs gsp in Montreal would be epic
Instant sold out
Good for you, you look amazing and hopefully healthy you were the face of ufc for a long time, happy retirement
He was always honest about how he hates fighting. He just happed to be great at it.
Izzys like "hello darkness my Ole friend....."
Middleweight
Surprised he didn't mention him
Gsp would be a bad bad match-up for him
@@D3aN953 gsp won the middleweight belt aswell
Notice, he mentioned Khabib…it’s because Khabib’s big head should have been fighting at 170 welterweight.
Cry more.
He mentioned Khabib because Khabib was so dominant at LW that even top WW's acknowledge him. And Khabib would definitely be one of the best WW's.
Post all the lightweight weights that are publicly known, i dare you .
top 5 welterweights: Colby, Khamzat, Burns, Leon, Belal.
Khabib would have def been a Top 5 contender to fight Usman. Wouldve been cool to see how (or if) Khabib can take heavy power shots from guys like Usman or Chimaev.
He is already a Legend. Nothing left to prove. Enjoy your life buddy. Thanks for the memories.
Thank you for your fights George, you are greatly missed. Nothing lasts forever but I cherish the moments.
If my 11 yr old nephew ever gets into MMA as a fan I plan to give him all of my GSP dvds.
@@Torgo1969 tell em to be as athletic as he can be man. Gsp was very athletic which was a big attribute
Chimaev 😍
That’s an amazing tree 🥇
I love how he says idk and for sure had this list down in his head already 😂GSP is still hungry for competition
Look at that smile he is happy af not fighting anymore lol
I'm glad he's enjoying his life after fighting
so gsp rates chimaev more than izzy???
I think he was just thinking about the division he was competing in when he was active.
He was a welter
Khamzat is better. Izzy really isn't that good he's just long and it helps him win on points
Yup
Izzy is not exciting. I think fans would want to see Khamzat vs GSP more than Izzy vs GSP(including myself)
“I dont miss it at all! Hehehee” he said. Like a liar
You can tell this guy is perfectly happy with his after career ...
He'll come back for a money fight. If Conor called him out he would do it. Same with Khabib.
Conor had been calling Khabib for a rematch a million times you butterhead.
Khabib was not interested with a rematch with Conor. Didn't you see his retorement speech?
lol ok
@@truthseeker96 I was speaking hypothetically. Obviously.
🐐
Lot of respect for GSP and what he's done for the sport and setting the bar. His mindset of wanting to be the best and hunting down the best guys, is the mindset of a champion. GSP mentioning other fighters shows his wisdom and respect for their talent.
Thank God. You were already blessed with incredible longevity, it’s the worst when a legend comes back way too old and is not who they used to be.
“So you’re saying there’s a chance…”
Oh Lloyd
G'daaaaaaaaay mate, throw a few shrimpies on the barbeeeeeee.
And you would get destroyed by all 3.
I love the fact that he keeps his strong accent, and don’t try to hide it or improve it
As a Canadian this man exemplifies a man with his head screwed on tight. No inflated ego. No delusions of grandeur.
The UFC would make any fight with you except a fight for a belt because you're one and done
"I want to fight the best", waited confortably for the easiest MW title fight lol.
I thought that too at the time, but looking back at how well Bisping fought it was no easy fight.
@@smokey6455 agreed but let's be fair easier than whittaker,romero and maybe rockhold as hilarious as that sounds rn in his prime man was a beast
Well it was for the title
@@smokey6455 gsp declined the silva fight. ignored the weidman and rockhold fight, but went up vs bisping.
Would love to see Colby VS GSP
Such a cool guy. Truly one of the best. Inside and out. Sorta speak.
I have immense respect for this man, he is honest, real and a joy to listen to
1 year later: “gsp returns for grappling invitational event”
It’s nice to see someone actually satiated with their fighting career. He’s like the Andre Ward of MMA.
This man is definitely a true champion. He won me as a fan every time he would come back and dominate the few who beat him in the UFC. And he's very humble for as good as he was
i’m glad he emphasizes that because it seems like he’s really happy outside of it
Crazy how he says he doesn’t miss it at all. Smart man.
Legend has it he models his hair after the saint Elias mountain range of Canada
GSP we appreciate all that you have done for the sport. Hope your new chapter in life of retirement is great 👍
GSP is such a grounded man. All good things Brother.
What a GOAT ❤ He didn't like to fight but it was his job.
Live your life brother you will always be remembered as a Champion!
My favorite MMA fighter and this shows how smart he is. Stay retired and don’t tarnish your stellar career or get permanent injury
Wish you the best GSP 🙌👌🙏
He seems like one of the nicest guy from UFC
The glow in his eyes when he started mentioning.
Super humble, perfect killing machine.
This is the first time I actually feel he’s truly happy where he’s at with his life and does not feel to prove himself anymore . Thank you GSP for all you’ve done . ❤
love his attitude. my favorite attitude out of any retired fighter
Dude this guy being retired looks like a million bucks compared to most guys after they retire
Long life and good health to ya' Bro. 🔥👊🥊
A true gentleman and a savage slash LEGEND
"I don't miss it at all" i believe him, must be physically and emotionally the hardest job on the planet
Much love and respect for gsp from 🇧🇷
I love GSP man!!! My most favorite MMA complete fighter and definitely left a huge mark on the world of MMA.
The Goat
George thank you for giving us some of the best fights in MMA history you proved yourself just ride off into the sunset like you deserve
And i don't miss it at all ! *weeping internally*
You gave us enough good fights brother. Enjoy your life.
These fights would be epic 😭
