That's not what a household name is. A household name would be someone known outside of the fandom. The Rock would be an example.


Gsp IS that original guy whether you like to admit it or not... especially in the countries that are fight centric which account for the largest populous'.

Now for good or worse its currently McGregor.

But to say GSP will be or has been forgotten is just plain stupidity.

True say. Aside from being the Goat his negative attention also has propelled him into mainstream media.

But i have to admit Conor is still a million times more talked about.

And unfortunately i can see him still being more talked about long after his career. He really shook the mma world.

I was never arguing against that. I always talked about how dominant he was. Boring for a casual without a doubt but what he did was top 5 all time at very worst.

I was just saying he isnt a household name. Any fan of the sport should at least understand his greatness. Whether they like it or not is up to them
