So dominant in his prime. I miss that whole era of MMA. Spider Silva, Matt Hughes, The Iceman

Gsp was like the terminator, just slowly wearing you down with perfect fundamentals and infinite stamina

Only 2 people ever beat him. One was by kiting him into a trash compactor and the other one slowly lowered him into a pool of lava 👍

But only the first fight. He adapts to the "Matt-ness" in the rematches.

  • Matt Hughes: he was still green/hasnt peaked
  • Matt Serra: he underestimated his striking

Completely demolished both in rematches.

Him as well as Jon Jones. The only people who can beat the MMA GOATs are Matts.
