thanks for sharing those gifs and videos. very instructional as no one never seen these before.

Those things remind me what GSP said one day: ''In the UFC, Im not the best boxer, not the best wrestler, not the best grappler and in the gym I get my ass kicked so this way, I always have to work hard in order to sharpen my skills in every departments to become the best''

And you are Georges, you were nothing but the best to ever do it and we are all grateful to see you performed and bring the game at another level. You inspired an entire generation even the stupid casual dorks who know nothing about mma, period

I know a lot of uneducated fans and GSP haters will get mad at these facts , Greg Hardy was labelled as an "A-level athlete" by many MMA fans and is still labelled as so despite that same "A-level athlete" was visibly gassed by the first round against Crowder despite years and years of athletic experience.
A lot of people like to consider players who run after a ball in team for minutes while having long or several breaks as better athletes than fighters who get punched in the face while fighting for a living , but those comparasions are simply silly.
GSP in his prime had it all: Striking , Wrestling(He became the , BJJ simply everything , He is simply the best fighter to ever do it as he could do it all in his prime while having amazing athletic feats.
Not only was one of the most dedicated and professional guys the sport has ever seen , He also had the intelligence and the athletic gifts to go with it while being a clean and a natural fighter unlike many other fighters who feeled the need to cheat with PEDs.
Some very short athletic feats of the GOAT:
GSP became the best MMA wrestler of all time outwrestling every opponent he faced (Excluding Hughes 1 , who he still outwrestled in the other fights) including several NCAA Div 1 wrestler(More than any other fighter) and other high-level grapplers despite not even having a grappling background , instead he had an Karate/Striking background and still went on to embarras high-level wrestler who have been wrestling their whole lifes.
GSP was ragolling way bigger and NCAA Div I wrestlers such as Chael Sonnen and Rashad Evans in training while many other fighter , coaches and mma personalities have talked about how GSP ragdolls much bigger fighters in training.
GSP was one of the strongest guys pound-for-pound in its prime and had a great body build while being completely natural and ped-free , When other fighters were doing everything they could to avoid stricter drug-testing GSP was calling for it almost begging for it.
Not only GSP had a great body physique and was incredibly strong , He also had unlimited cardio and was one of the best conditioned fighters in its prime.
When GSP thought about giving the olympics a shot after training with the Canada Olympic Wrestling Team the officials were interested as well as they were likely aware of GSP talents in wrestling , He reportedly held his own against olympic wrestlers and judokas also(Despite not having a grappling background).
After suffering an horrific knee innjury GSP managed to come back from it and defeat three great fighters in their primes (With two of them being current/future champions) in Condit(UFC interim WW champion) , Diaz(11-1 prior to fighting GSP , Former SF WW champion) and Hendricks(Future UFC WW champion).
After retiring and suffering another knee tear , GSP managed to come back after a four-year lay off , move up in a weight he had never fought before and finish the then middleweight champion (former LHW) Michael Bisping despite battling collitis through camp.

GSP is simply the GOAT , His athletic feats are amazing but in reality thats just a small part of why he became the best fighter to ever step in inside the octagon.
