for anyone who doubts his wrestling, these videos are only his wrestling for MMA. theres great videos of him wrestling with people in colorado state and olympic team members and you really see how freakishly good he got at wrestling.
@@edinsimic9867 it’s not about doubting his wrestling, it’s about the fact he never really wrestled until he got into MMA and became of the greatest to do it
I understand people may think Khabib or Charles has the best grappling in ufc history I’d argue it’s still GSP the amount of elite wrestlers he manhandled is honestly terrifying but it’s not just that it’s the fact he had no background in grappling he was a karate guy the level of the grapplers he destroyed is amazing
He's just so good at timing that takedown when the other dude is thinking about striking, especially ducking under punches.... or literally while the other guy is striking he's taking them down. So it becomes a huge dilemma to try to land shots on him knowing that that's what he wants so he can get to your leg/hips. Master of timing
he has outwrestled a number of accomplished collegiate wrestlers, even more than khabib has.. i think gsp is the best mma takedown artist ever, if we base it on the number of collegiate wrestlers a fighter has outwrestled..
@@user-xg6sx5ev9u Bro, I'm talking about Grapplers in MMA, Khabib and Charles are better than Gsp on the ground in Grappling and not in MMA as a whole that GSP was clearly better, Charles is the greatest finisher in ufc history and Khabib finished his opponents with a lot of pressure control and Ground and Pound agressive
I hate when people act like you cant know takedowns or defense just because you didn't do scholastic wrestling, its idiotic. This man proved that you can learn later on and dominate the people that actually practiced it.
Listening to the bias Joe Rogan commentary against GSP, particularly with Hughes and BJ Penn (but also with the likes of Parisyan), makes you realise just how exceptional GSP was, despite not having grown up a wrestler.
Never fails to make me smile when Joe reluctantly had to finish the sentence he was gagging to repeat over and over as GSP ragdolled BJ almost at will: 'BJ's got such impressive takedown defence, watch what he-' *GSP launches BJ onto the ground* 'does now that he's back up'.
Not in any way shape or form. Hughes was bigger, Hendricks was bigger, Alves was bigger, Koscheck was bigger, Condit taller, Diaz taller, it just didn't matter.
"Honey, my mom asked me today, 'Sweetheart, what is it about those fights that gets you going?' And I'm like, 'Mom, I'm not even sure what I'm looking at, but that body, oh my goodness, it's just... wow. And then I saw those lines, that power force on that canvas, and I was like, 'Girl, this is art.'"
lmao, most of them in this video look like they never practiced takedown defense once in their life. These are very early days of MMA, when people were still figuring out what to do.
Can someone explain how GSP is able to shoot without dropping one knee to the ground upon entry, and somehow still managing the takedown. Is it his brute strength, opponents balance, and distance management that helps him with getting the take down ?
It had a lot to do with establishing his ranged tools, in particular the jab. His level change became increasingly difficult to read as fights went on. He also was a beast of an athlete so his reactive double was an ace in the hole.
he said his karate background helped him a lot with his timing and distance management. also hes setting it up with strikes, so when his opponent expects a strike and covers up, gsp goes level changes and goes for td.
He has amazing timing and shot a lot of takedowns when his opponents were standing square. Which eliminates the need for a really good shot He also was able to reshoot if his opponents stopped his first attempt a great example of this is at 4:31 where he shoots on bj, bj stops it he frames on bjs head and picks up a single
This is pretty much all he has,a double leg and lay n pray. People dare call floyd boring but floyd has a higher finish percentage. Gsp is 85% lay n pray.
The single greatest wrestler in the UFC's history. Compare the amount of D1 and All Americans or BJJ masters (Penn) he dominated or cancelled out compared to someone like Khabib, who at best, had RDA (world champion grappler) and Gaethje (D1).
Great Fighters rarely make great trainers but in this case Mike lost it long ago and represents a radically different physique so I'm thinking more publicity stunt... That said I'm a huge Mike Tyson fan because I'm a short heavyweight
Excellent video displaying GSP's effective development of the double-leg takedown. Low double-leg takedowns are not as effective as high double-leg takedowns. Low double-leg takedowns, whenever you drop a knee, need more technical skills to turn the corner while changing levels and low double-leg takedowns are easier to counter and take more energy. Why drop to a knee when you come back up on your feet 🤦. This video proves high double-leg takedowns are more effective, especially when teaching fundamentals and new people in the sport.
Yes but with good timing and technique it won‘t happen. Thats like saying o floyd threw a lot of jabs from a low guard he exposes himself to overhand right hands.
It’s not his wrestling that makes him special it’s all in his shot. Wrestling starts once he has the guy down but his brilliance all comes from ability to put the guy down.
good work brother, nice video. no BS
Thanks brother 🙌
so many single legs and double legs, with the occasional tackle. nothing fancy, he sticks to the tried and true fundamentals.
fancy is rarely consistent. when you perfect the fundamentals you become a champion in wrestling and fighting
In mma no wreslers really does anything fancy. It's really just double and single leg all day. Judo guys are the fancy ones.
@@fourtwo5619no mma tem muito caras sofisticados,Anderson Silva era um

didnt he do jiu jitsu?
@@outis439-A not until he was a pro fighter but jiu jitsu is not a place to learn high level takedowns and defense. gsp was a freak of nature
Charles is history now. He is rode like a horse. Dont you ever mention that crap
It's GSP or Cejudo, Olympic wrestlers are on an entirely different level than NCAA etc

Yeah, gsp seems to have been a better wrestler but khabib had better grappling the way he submitted his opponents easily.
@@DarkWarrior_1 i agree
@@mikerems8861 the way you wrestle in mma is completely different from a mat though but gsp still the best mma wrestler out there
Underrated video. Especially since GSP has the most takedowns in UFC history

some serious double leg action
His Jab Feint to double leg is money.
The king of take down
Prime for prime, GSP is one of the strongest fighters that ever lived.
Look at his size he was kinda of a bully in the Ww
@@Ziyech1 Not really. Usman, and Leon for example are bigger than him
@@Ziyech1How was he a bully? Dude was 5’10 and walked around at 185, lmao.
Not in any way shape or form. Hughes was bigger, Hendricks was bigger, Alves was bigger, Koscheck was bigger, Condit taller, Diaz taller, it just didn't matter.
Interesting fact Georges had only started training wrestling at age 19 yet was able to takedown and control lifelong high level wrestlers.
"Honey, my mom asked me today, 'Sweetheart, what is it about those fights that gets you going?'

Crazy thing is, most of GSP's opps were litteral wrestling MACHINES.

@@marwin4348 most of them were olympic and freestyle wrestlers before switching to mma tf r u on normie?
Nice video. Simon Says also goes well with a GSP takedown compilation
Excellent video mate ! Can you please make gsp TDD compilation? Much appreciated
yes I would love to see that
He was a fucking train
He has good wrestling

It is his timing
Its also a big thing to know that wrestling takedowns and mma takedowns are very different, same way boxing hands and mma hands are different

He also was able to reshoot if his opponents stopped his first attempt a great example of this is at 4:31 where he shoots on bj, bj stops it he frames on bjs head and picks up a single

People forget, or weren’t watching when GSP was king.
Ion care who ya favorite is, 9 mins of takedowns is banaaaaannas
7:55
🔥🔥
5:33
5:42
Without a doubt he would have been able to beat Khabib
It wasnt the speed in his takedowns that make them insane its that fucking timing power and comit ment to that takedown jesus i need to train mors

Karo was so tall on his legs for ajudoka
gsp TDD video please
So he fought bums
I'm still bummed we never got Prime GSP vs Prime Silvia ... *sigh*
This must’ve tooken hours
To say the least.
Best grapplers in the UFC in order
1. Khabib
2. GSP
3. Jon Jones
4. Daniel Cormier
Gsp and jon jones are better than khabib

GPS was on the juice his entire career
where did gsp learn how to wrestle? he did karate but had no experience in wrestling
The only fighter to not wrestle in high school or college and able to out-wrestle those who did. Khabib is the best wrestler, but GSP is a close 2nd
GSP does a lot of Jab+Takedown or fake Jab+takedown. He really exposes himself to knee on the head
In most of these clips his opponents had already committed to throwing a shot when he was shooting. It'd be impossible to knee him mid strike
How many knees to the head did he got hit with?😒
yet never happened, its all a question of timing
Yes but with good timing and technique it won‘t happen. Thats like saying o floyd threw a lot of jabs from a low guard he exposes himself to overhand right hands.
@@liamdoes8580 yeah gsp was great at shooting takedowns when someone is over extended and off balance
Gsp siuuuuuu
Gsp eats all recent fighters except Jon Jones maybe and i'm talking pound for pound
Khabib can rag doll him
Khabib never fought a high level wrestler in his entire career, lmao.
It’s not his wrestling that makes him special it’s all in his shot. Wrestling starts once he has the guy down but his brilliance all comes from ability to put the guy down.
GSP had zero chin. Only way he could win is lay and pray. Look at his strategy after he took diaz down.
