Super fight between two Legends
"The danger is not to set your goal too high and fail to reach it. It’s to set your goal too low and reach it" - George St-Pierre
Tonight, GSP faces the biggest test of his career. He's trekking through uncharted waters by fighting in the middleweight division. St-Pierre has had a legendary career at welterweight, but can he win against a heavier man in Bisping? Bisping has done amazing things since GSP disappeared from the sport four years ago. He's beat Hall of Famer Anderson Silva and Knocked-out Luke Rockhold for the UFC middleweight belt. This super fight will have many eyes tuning in tonight, and I can't wait to witness it.
St-Pierre will be looking to use his power double a lot in this fight. He will try and put Bisping on his back and grind him out. The champ will like to keep it standing. He will use his boxing and range to frustrate the smaller GSP. I'm not sure St-Pierre's gameplan will be effective against Bisping. He's much bigger than GSP, and his takedown defense is very underrated. In MMA, Fours years is an eternity. I'm not confident that St-Pierre is the same monumental fighter he once was. I expect GSP to struggle, I hope I'm wrong, but there's just too many things against him in this fight. It's honorable to test himself in a heavier weight class, but I've got Micheal Bisping by Unanimous decision.
Who do you think will win this fight? Thanks for reading!
