Good card and I like GSP to pick up his first finish since UFC 94

It will be crazy if Hendricks catches him, but that's all I see for Johnny, GSP is better everywhere.

GSP surpasses Silva, breaking multiple records with win Saturday

Come Saturday night (Nov. 16) at UFC 167, champ Georges St-Pierre will have the opportunity to surpass Anderson Silva as the most victorious fighter in the organization’s history. Here are the three records he stands to break.

• Win, lose or draw, if St-Pierre can keep the fight going longer than just 39 seconds, he will break current record holder BJ Penn for the most time in the octagon–currently at 5  hours, 3 minutes, 51 seconds.
  
• The title of most victories in UFC history is currently tied between Matt Hughes, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, Anderson Silva and GSP with 18. Will St-Pierre break the tie with 19 wins, being the most victorious figter ever in UFC history?
  
• The most prestigious IMO is title bout wins. Currently tied between St-Pierre and Silva at 11, GSP has a chance to surpass the current GOAT with a possible 12th title bout victory.
  

Should St-Pierre win Saturday, he will technically be the most successful fighter the organization has ever seen, passing up Anderson Silva the man most consider the most successful. However, there is other variables that most consider, such as finishes, which St-Pierre has a deficit in comparison to Silva. Should St-Pierre still desire to be known as the greatest, he will not only need a win but to get the finish in order to convince the majority.

GSP has the better resume.

Won't be that crazy. He has a better chance of "catching him" then anyone GSP has ever fought. Atleast a 30% chance he lands the big one. 10% chance he wins by decision.

That's very generous. GSP wins inside the distance

Yeah I wont say it's by a big margin but I think overall GSP has fought the better competition. Only Dan Hardy didn't deserve the title shot.

Serra didn't deserve a shot, and technically neither did Shields or Diaz. BJ probably shouldn't have been in a title fight at ufc94, but I see why they made it one with the rivalry and the fact that he'd held it before and was a current champion.

Shields was on a 15 fight win streak and in that streak he had beaten Dan Henderson, Robbie Lawler, Paul Daley, Mike Pyle, Carlos Condiit and Yushin Okami. He did deserve the shot. Diaz arguably beat Condit in the number 1 contenders fight.

Either Diaz didn't, or Condit didn't. Shields hadn't competed as a Welterweight in two years when he fought Kampmann, and arguably lost that fight.

Diaz and Condit were clearly the top 2 guys after GSP at that time.

Except for Hendricks, and Kampmann, and Rory.

Tim Elliott with one of the all-time retarded strategic performances there. Jesus, talk about just handing a fight to your opponent

edit

Robbie is dat nigga! Always moving forward and not giving a fuck lol.

Also LMFAO! @ Josh! Can't beat the niggas cause he's half of one.

Robbie FTW!

Strikeforce!

Pretty clear 2-1 for Lawler. Suck on that Rory you nazi sumbitch.
