GSP vs Georges Laraque - The Fight - Round 1

Round 1, plus a bit of round 2

[@Kmasse8]

Laraques thighs are wider than my car. Always liked him, gentleman player and great sport.

[@Arbs72]

Yeah, that’s why he never got shoved over in fights he was so strong on his feet!

[@akimboslice9867]

Just two dudes named Georges doing what Georges do

[@bobm3393]

Laraque is a good sport .

[@snap403]

Both class acts, thank you guys!

[@josiahjones9521]

Theres no better cardio than wrestling. Its burns you out quick!

[@richardmorris7063]

Gsp walks around about 190 lbs too. He has 1 of the best takedowns pct in mma.he had to be outweighed by 50-60 lbs.

[@_JM-]

He actually doesn’t, if you watch his interview on joe rogan he said that he’s a light welterweight and doesn’t cut much (if anything) to fight at 170. He mentioned he had to actually gain weight to fight bisping at 185

[@b-radagent2411]

on numerous occasion it was noted he is only about 180 even. So giving up about 60-70 pounds in all likely hood

[@BatSygnal]

​@@_JM- GSP is ~190 admittedly before cutting to 170. But that guy is about 260 so it's a 65-75lb weight difference.

[@SublineYT]

​@@_JM- He had to gain weight so he wouldn't be undersized compared to Bisping who would have been like 200lbs in the cage. Georges said himself he bulked up to 197lbs before that fight (but he only weighed 192 during the fight due to his stomach issues).

[@chxmpyfn1045]

Gsp walk around 175-180lb...

[@gtrefghuk]

Damn! no jersey to grab onto. Kinda like fighting Rob Ray.

[@CommonCentrist82]

The hardest place in the world to fight is on the ice. When you have to think about your feet instead of just throwing punches, it adds another level of difficulty. I give hockey enforcers so much credit. Their jobs are so dangerous.

[@mikkoalanen1344]

Hmm. 1st off, they don't need to think about their feet, they are hockey players. 2nd: fighters also have to "think about" their feet placement. I say in quotes since it's second nature to both

[@yourworstnightmare_yt]

@@mikkoalanen1344 Are you a fucking moron? When he said they have to worry about their feet he obviously meant that when you fight on an ICE you have to worry about how/if you fall down. Worrying about your stance and where your feet are plays a big part. You don't want to fall on your head. Before you try to patronize people with your uneducated comment how about you learn a thing or two.

[@mikkoalanen1344]

@@yourworstnightmare_yt No, I'm not. And no he didn't. They 100% do not think about their feet like "oh this is good placement if I were to fall down" 😂. If they fall down conscious it makes no difference and is not dangerous since, you know, they are conscious. If they get KO'd then they are fucked. But neither have to think about their feet.

[@yourworstnightmare_yt]

@@mikkoalanen1344 No idea where you from but as someone that been through that we do think about that. Trust me.

[@mikkoalanen1344]

@@yourworstnightmare_yt You maybe. But that makes you exception to the rule. If you'd think about stuff like that you wouldn't fight with skates on.

[@Keplerb-od1lr]

Really shows the effectiveness of BJJ and wrestling that GSP could handle a much bigger man like George

[@croatianwarmaster7872]

Don't forget GSP is strong as shit tho

[@davidvaval1818]

oh please its a fun grappling match. make it an all out no rules fight and Laraque chances double .

GSP. Gives up 100 lbs. and dominates. Incredible. Laraque is pure class and sportsmanship. A true mentor. 🇨🇦

Gsp has sufficient weight. When you approach 75 kg you can beat most people with enough skill

@slugslum I have a question for you : Where have you been injured the most : In fighting sports or in hockey ?

Do you know what hockey is? Fighting is a part of the game since 1920.

very cool

@ehbabbeh yeah, Laraque may not know what sprawl means, but this isn't his forte, he's used to doing this with skates on lol!

[@Snakeeyes1585]

would also have been nice to see gsp fight laraque on the ice, in George yard.

[@Darkasknightfall]

GSP would smoke any enforcer in the NHL. I’d like to see GSP slap lucic and reaves around.

@theroc5851 puncher's chance has shown itself to be an ineffective concept

[@elmers2005]

As a rugby player the double leg is preferred but when you are the smaller man. Go fish for a single leg. I have put numerous big men on their back by fishing a single. You can go high crotch or just lift their lower leg as high as possible.

[@fremen99]

Je suis fier d'eux, les deux Georges sont des gentlemen en dehors de leur sport. Et c'est complétement ridicule de comparer les deux hommes. GSP est l'un des meilleurs dans sa discipline, sinon le meilleur et GL s'il se battait comme il le fesait dans la LNH contre GSP, je suis pas sûr que GSP ferait littéralement le poids. Ils sont pas d'la même catégorie, 100 lbs de plus ça parait !

[@rickrick5041]

[@user-mj5pb9gk6b]

А теперь на коньках на льду:)

[@bolo5190]

If Laraque had greater wrestling technique to use his appropriately 80lbs advantage over gsp, he would have won and probably easily too..but gsp is very very strong for guy that weighs only around 170lbs and gsp's technique is phenomenal as well I mean that's what he trains for he's a MMA fighter so it's not a surprise it's absolutely incredible but being a great wrestler it is not just about strength even though it does have a lot to do with it but it's also about technique too as well for sure..

[@Boats025]

I wanna see Chara wrestle GSP. Because Chara is trained in greco-roman wrestling.

Ok, Prochain combat sur la glace avec l'équipement de Hockey.. et le droit aux coups.. eheh

[@noreivy]

This is why he was able to beat bisping because gsp had been training with much heavier guys before

[@idontknow88100]

Lol no

[@billyin4c514]

He was able to bear Bisping, because Bisping was fighting with a fucked up eye.

[@josiahjones9521]

​@@billyin4c514was his real eye still in when he fought GSP of did he already have it removed and replaced with a fake one?

Bet any money if they had normal shirts on and George Laraque fired 25 of them left hands he’d of whooped GSP !

[@tuxminator31]

Laraque is out of shape and do not have any technic. But that was funny to watch!

This ain't a fight. It's a wrestling match. Talk about false advertisement!

[@steverogers7601]

This is a testament to GSP being able to handle a big guy like George who is stronger and has a 100lbs advantage. However, George will be able to handle himself against a blue belt.

This was meaningless. What WOULD be interesting was if they then moved away from what is a strength of GSP and now move to George’s strength. Punching. He then knocks out GSP in 2 seconds. Equal challenge

[@zhesandman]

gsp could probably beat laraque in hockey too lol

[@slugslum]

@Redisthecolor5 I take wrestling, boxing, and muay thai at Raw academy. I can tell you that hockey is actually a bit harder. I play AAA hockey too. Sure theres technique, stance and shit. But a punch is a punch and both deserve respect. Plus... hockey isint about the fighting, although it is apart of the game... and awesome.

[@offfaceoff]

gsp kind of 'falls asleep ' at times in the technical stuff.

[@SLproductions1000]

yeah but if you do this like a hockey fight goarge will win!

non

[@nodo7575]

GSP has very limited pure wrestling if you add striking GSP would beat him even more easily.
