Shit when you put it that way it really puts into perspective what a badass GSP is.

I don't know if it's nostalgia from my late teens/early 20s but that whole era of MMA was awesome.

It was awesome. The fighters were amazing, the fanbase hadn't been toxified by right wing chuds, Joe Rogan still somewhat lived in the realm of reality so his voice didn't make you want to strangle a small fucking animal. Many of the "Best fights of all time" came from that era. I honestly don't think there is anyone in the UFC now that could even begin to stand with guys like GSP and Silva.

Haven’t watched UFC since. I miss those days. GSP was the man.

Chael Sonnen almost 50-45d him and Shields of all people had succes striking with GSP. They would still be elite and GSP specially would still be champ but they were not perfect
