Bisping retiring a fight later doesn't change the fact he was the champ and knocked out a prime Luke Rockhold. The MW division is weaker now than it was when Bisping was champion and Usman is 0-1 in it.Setting aside all the other stuff, I feel fairly confident there are a number of ranked welterweights that would have beaten a retiring, one-eyed Michael Bisping.
I mean Kelvin Gastelum did it literally the next month.
Finishing Sean Sherk, BJ Penn, and Matt Hughes (all in their primes) is one of the greatest trio wins of all time. Insane careerI have a lot of respect for Kamaru but I believe GSP has the better legacy at WW.
GSP cleaned out the entire division and defeated everyone he ever faced- avenged both losses in undisputable fashion.
Kamaru had a very impressive streak, but ultimately he defended the title 2x against Colby and 2x against Jorge.. still a super impressive run but not as impressive as GSP. GSP never actually lost the title after all of those defenses.
GSP retired on a 13 fight win streak defending the title and winning another one in a higher weight class. He laps Marty three times over it's not even a conversation. lmao
On another note, Dana White made a comment about Kamaru being WW GOAT and people immediately thought it was because Dana is salty about GSP winning the MW title and vacating immediately.
I think that's only partially true. GSP was instrumental in calling out imbalances in fighter pay in UFC. Dana would be much more upset about THAT.

Georges St-Pierre net worth increased when "Rush" demanded more money and a better contract from UFC which was a risky but profitable bet on himself.www.mmamania.com
