Usman vs GSP is starting to make more sense than Khabib, but GSP should stay retired


GSP has no reason to take that fight at all

Because GSP is on the verge of being 40 years old and completely wiped out the WW division when it was the best division in the UFC.

Usman has 6 decent fights to his name.

GSP in his prime was the 2nd greatest fighter of all time behind Jon Jones. It's not a money fight for him because Usman cannot draw to save his life and nothing is on the line.

GSP isn't fighting guys for a title

yes because usman just broke gsp's longest welterweight win streak record or something by 1 with this victory
if gsp came back, he would tie and break his streak

And GSP still has the record for most title defenses.

Usman is not the greatest welterweight of all time. It’s still GSP. But you have a hard time convincing me that Kamaru won’t catch up

A lot of people forget also when GSP was in his prime the UFC put a eventt together every 3-4 months. Now you can fight 6 times a year.

Different era but imagine if GSP could fight 6 times a year with how little damage he took in most fights
