RE: Top 10 Best MMA Fighters of All Time
They matter but don't matter any more then any other dominate finish. A KO can be seen as getting a lucky shot in. A sub can be seen as being lucky and catching someone but completely dominating someone for 5 rounds ... well there is no denying who is better more skilled fighter in that scenario.
True but when a fighter is finishing fights most of the times then it's not luck right
Some finishes could still be considered luck regardless of how many finishes one has. Anderson Finished allot of opponents ... he got lucky to catch Sonnen in a sub to finish him in the last round of their first fight.
Dominating someone for 5 rounds leaves 0 doubt.
Yeah but in GSP's case he didn't always dominate, sometimes he just controlled his opponents and against Hendricks he arguably lost that fight (I had him winning but I still remember so many people that night thought he lost).
GSP has won 33 consecutive rounds .... It doesn't get more dominating then that.
The Hendricks fight was a tough one but GSP got the win. Which is what matters most. This fight was also at the tail end of GSP career and certainly not at GSP's Peak. Age and competition catches up with everyone. He retired directly afterwards and has since only had one fight in which he captured the 185 lb belt.
I don't know man, when I think of dominating I think of Cain Velasquez against JDS. To me GSP was always able to control the fight and neutralize his opponents strength but again dominating to me is another thing. But hey I'm a fan of GSP...
