I feel like Prime Chael Sonnen would have Decisioned GSP

Just too strong, too fast, too explosive. His wrestling was really good!

He outwrestled bigger stronger guys than GSP.

I think he gets on top of him and beats on him. Doesn’t finish him.

GSP doesn’t sub people off of his back. He wrestles and gets to his feet.

GSP has obviously better standup but I don’t think he hits as hard as the guys that Chael has been out wrestling. Chael doesn’t get knocked out easy.

Lord Chael is the greatest warrior this world has ever seen.
 
Look up Chael's story of getting second grappling Georges

How many times have we seen GSP on the bottom?? His TDD was nuts. 50-45 but he would get insulted alot because of being french. Would have loved to see it

GSP already proved he could make very good wrestlers look silly aside from Hendricks. Chael was a good fighter and grappler in his prime, but if GSP decides to go up to MW and stay there he could have been just as strong, maybe stronger than Chael. I see it competitive but decisive for GSP (4 rounds to 1)

I think prime gsp would've done well with Hendricks in wrestling. This was gsp with 2 torn acl already. He wasn't explosive with his double leg in a long time.

Except for Chael himself said that GSP was one of the strongest P4P guys he's sparred with, and they were in different weight divisions.

Chael says GSP is the strongest man he ever came to grips with, for what it's worth.

Chael talked about training with GSP and getting demolished lol

Not to mention he is a weight class up

Sonnen said exactly the same about Yushin Okami.
Sonnen talk a lot, take what he says with a grain of salt
 
Prime juiced to the gills Chael might well have found a way to beat GSP, but not in a rematch.

Yeah probably. Chael is the much bigger man, and hadthe perfect style to capitalize on that advantage.

On the other hand, his wrestling was always tremendously overrated. I could imagine GSP stuffing him and landing takedowns of his own, especially later in the fight.

His wrestling was anything but overrated, i would go as far as to put his mma wrestling in the top 10 of all time, still i would favor gsp cause he was way more complete than sonnen

Chaos admitted GSP bested him in the grappling department and that’s his strong suit and only chance to victory.
 
Chael Sonnen fought Fedor, Anderson Silva, Jon Jones and sparred with GSP, and went on record multiple time saying that GSP is the best fighter ever.

GSP is basically a stronger, more skilled Chael Sonnen.

Sonnen was a great talent, a true MW contender, but GSP is the GOAT.
 
Yes Chael outwrestled prime bisping and GSP failed against retirement Bisping so Chael would obviously win
 
This thread was made so people who don't know what they are talking about could flood the masses
 
Chael prbly

BUT

Chael would be out matched in striking
AND
He said he struggled mightily when he grappled with GSP in practice

And I'm a huge Andy fan
