what is he, 24 years old???

already hes the champ and beat hughes, let me rephrase that, he destoryed hughes, hes awesome and i cant see anyone beating him for a while, already a big name and headlining a ppv at ufc 69, and hes only 25, this guy can fight for atleast 10 if not 15 more years

does anyone have a more promosing future???

Yeah, and he's had to cancel two fights becuase of injury. At such a young age, you know the injury is going to plague him rest of his career. Especially if it is constant muscle injury.

yea I worry about that because I love the guy and think he is great.

Two names I can think of would be Mauricio Shogun Rua, and Alistair Overeem, Mauricio the better of the two, is only 25 or 26, earned the Pride Middleweight GP title at 24, also serving as the main event of Final Conflict 2005 at 24, Alistair overeem is i think 2 years older maybe 28, hes never held a major title (i think) a little older than the other two, but he's still pretty accomplished. Also although his MMA career is just begining I would have to also mention Roger Gracie hes only like 22, very accomplished BJJ, hes 1-0 beating ron h2o waterman(?) in MMA, im watchin close to see what happens with him

There's always my boy...Diego Sanchez...

Only time will tell if he surpasses GSP.

GSP is a already a great fighter at 25. I'll call it it now, when he is nearing retirement he will go down as the best WW champ in the UFC and one of the best P4P fighters in the world. I think he'll hold that belt for a while.

Just a thought, it'd be cool to see him enter the Pride FC Open Weight Grand Prix to see how he does against some of Pride's best. But i doubt that ever happens.

unless Pride instated a 170 class, or GSP really does move up to 185 full time and does a Pride WWGP, i dont want to see him doing anything there

he would get annihlated in an OWGP. first round

in the next couple of years gsp will hit new heights as he becomes one of the p4p best in the world. IMHO b4 retirement he will go down as p4p better than fedor.

I dont think he'd get annihlated but it's very doubtfull he'd win. But seeing him in a WWGP he'd have a good shot. Just a thought tho. But im sure he'll be in the UFC for a while.

some of you fools take this nuthugging to a whole new level. Is this a contest to see who is the biggest GSP nuthugger? Get a hold of yourselves. He has yet to defend his title and he squeaked out a win against out of shape BJ. Best p4p? Sorry to say it but that is plain retarded at this point.
