Tahune

What does everyone think?

Could Bigg Rigg do it?
Or does he get put on his back and UD'd

SolidStateLogic

Yes

He could do it, probably won't though.

He could but won't. GSP makes him a statistic.

GSP has not looked good with his wrestling over the last few years.Guys like Condit and Diaz are tall and lanky,VERY easy to take them down.
Hendrick's looked very big,like 195 for sure.
IMO GSP would tire out badly if trying to win a 5 round wrestling match.It is possible ,he could wear Hendrick's out,but GSP would struggle to get a TD rounds 3/4,giving Hendrick's ample time for a KO.

I feel GSp's game has not evolved,he struggles at everything other than superman punches, a rare jab and of course TD's,the rest of his game is weak.He does not use arm triangles or any wrestling moves,he is terrified to take the back,terrified to try any finishing moves until the last 30 seconds.He still does not know how to utilize elbows,he is still throwing strikes with his arms,which is WRONG technique.

One of the most important aspects about striking is HOW yo uavoid and again GSP does it wrong.He relies on speed to run and avoid,he backs up too much,a guy like Hendrick's would chase him down and connect for sure.Sure early fight GSP might duck down and take him down,but not forever.what GSp SHOULD be doing is learning to sidestep and counter,he has absolutely NO counter game,which is HUGE in MMA or any striking.

My long winded point is that unless GSP's camp/trainer and himself,smarten up with his techniques,he will lose to Hendrick's ,i am 70-30 sure of it.

GSP 50 - 45

Even the haters should come to terms with it, like **** you can't stop it from happening its inevitable

If Hendricks fight last night taught us anything, it's that Johnny will gas. There is a great chance he could catch gsp in the first two rounds, but gsp wins all 5 rounds if he doesn't get caught with that left hook early.

sobercuban

Yes

Look ... I really thought Hendricks was going lose last night if he couldn't get Condit out early ... he surprised me

Built2Destroy

Yes

GSP will be in for a treat or two once Hendricks fights him.

Darksjeik

Yes

100% Condit took shots that would have put GSP away

Yes

Hendricks by being better.

Hendricks was just swinging his left hand like a windmill last night, Condit was just backing up in a straight line if he had gone back in angles Hendricks would of missed everytime.

He simply can not do that against gsp or he will end up on his back. He has the power but he won't hit George with it.

PunchBag

gsp has worse head movement than condit

wanderleisilva101

Yes

I believe if he lands like he did on Condit GSP will get finished Condits chin is excellent GSP's isn't as good, Diaz barely pulled the trigger and is a accumulative puncher not a huge power puncher but still hurt and damaged him alot.

If Hendricks can keep it standing and land early he will win by KO. Definitely needs to up his cardio or pace himself more tho so he can do the full 5 rounds GSP looked slow later on against Diaz but he never stops working on the ground Johnny won't be able to keep that kind of pace.

Thiago Alves, Josh Koschek's right hand, Dan Hardy, Carlos Condit, Matt gaylord Serra, and how many other KO artists said the same thing? Hendricks will not and cannot do it.

This probably. GSP will time his TDs whenever Hendricks is loading up that left and jab him to a decision. Hope not but that's what I think will happen.

I feel like GSP Haters theme song should be

50-45 easily. Takedowns, distance with kicks. Only chance at finishing is with a submission. GSP COULD submit him.He was timid to take Diaz back, if he just **** confident in his skills he can submit Hendricks.

PunchBag

hendricks will not be like the koscheck fight, hendricks can cover distance quickly

ThePack19

Big Rig will have the first two rounds to make a KO happen, otherwise GSP will dictate the pace and outwrestle him all five rounds. If GSP gets hit by Big Rig, he will get wobbled and he knows this, which is why he favors his ground game.....no brainer......so his opponenets should be stepping up their ground game OR..........actually try and take GSP down FIRST!! Fail.....well keep trying!!!! Which is why I think Maia will be the one to give GSP wrestling problems.

Hendricks lost to Koscheck, its the same circus after every GSP win lol

Frontline_Rioter

It will be Grease's 4th fight in a row where he looks like he was mugged in a dark alley after the fight is over but they will proceed to put the belt around his waist once again.

If Hendricks wants to knock him out he just needs to hit him. He doesn't have to load up and wing his punches. He can't just throw a left hook followed by another left hook followed by another left hook. He should watch the 3rd round of GSP's fight with Nick. Nick is just touching him with half powered punches and Georges was wobbled for a moment.

Uhh no he is one of the heaviest welterweights in the world. That will play against him in a 5 round fight with Grease though. Dolce tweeted that he took Johnny from 212 to 171 for the Kampmann fight.

He was easily 195 last night if not 200 pounds.
