GSP should be nowhere on this list.

Undefeated Lineal MW champ, bro.

[SirKratos]

GSP on the list with 1 win against a handpicked opponent... This is why people with brain damage should not do any sort of MMA analysis, even the ones who seem eloquent and knowledgable

 

[BayAreaGuy]

I feel Rich Franklin should be on the list.

 

[Herwald]

GSP should be number 1.

Chael with his contrarian bullshit again. GSP... ffs.

 

[Anaconda99]

1.Bisping
2.GSP
3.Whittaker
4.Adesanya
5.Anderson

Chael has the hots for GSP because they used to train together and Chael used to look up to him. Chael should never be taken serious with his opinions, he’ll say anything to get attention or make a headline.

The list is also bullshit, Bisping is no where close to top 5 lmao. They both work with ESPN so it’s no surprise he puts a co worker in there.

I mean...call me Krazy with a K, but outside of beating Bisping for the Middleweight strap what has GSP done at Middleweight to not ONLY be ranked, but #2 over Adesanya and Whittaker? Granted this IS Chael Sonnen we're talking about, but not even Weidman made the list?

I'd put Yoel at 5, if he was luckier with decisions he would have wins against Izzy, Whittaker, and Costa

 

[Muaythaibrit]

I’m a huge GSP fan and I think he’s the goat. But he should not be on this list, especially above Izzy

Because Chael was once a top MW in the world and got whooped by GSP in training in his prime.... Chael knows firsthand how great GSP was

If he was more ACTIVE he'd have those wins. He shares part of the blame for not doing enough. Him and Adesanya showing more aggression after the final bell sounded was the most frustrating thing about that fight. They both showed more urgency and the need to get in each others grill after the fight, when they had the 25 minutes prior to do so when it actually mattered.

Tom Foolery on both their parts.

Yeah over here in reality Roidero lost to all 3 and is no where near that discussion.

So MMA fighters can't be analysts? Kind of a weird take... I'd say MMA fighters are generally pretty knowledgable about MMA...

I feel dumber for reading this.

Yeah he does, that's why he is at 5 and not 2 or 1, but it's tough to be active against someone trying to disengage as much as possible. We saw what happened in the Whittaker fights where Whittaker actually engaged him.
