GSP(mma fighter) vs Brian Shaw(strongman)

[Mikearade89]

At what point does technique not matter any more and strength and power just override anything



Here is GSP, he is 5'10" 170lbs


this is Brian Shaw, he is 6'8" and 460lbs


Both athletes are at the top of their sport, who would win in a no time limit fight?

GSP when shaw gasses

[mynameisuntz]

My guess is GSP would run circles around him.

[GamerMisc]

first off, honey badger.

secondly, that big fat **** wouldn't come close to hitting gsp

[OldBobScoo]

If shaw could catch GSP, then he would be done. Shaw is a human tank.

[EasternHammer]

I would bet on Shaw, but not be surprised at all if GSP won. I'm just not sure exactly GSP is going to hurt him.

[agm1984]

im guessing the michelin man would destroy the baby

brb limbs pulled off quickly

Depends if Shaw has any take down defense at all. IF GSP can take him down, he'd ground and pound or submit him for the win. Standing however, I don't think GSP could damage him.

[sword_]

GSP walks around 190-195...

[Orzel8]

what does lifting things and putting them down have to do with fighting? look at mariusz pudzianowski, 5 times worlds strongest man and he sucks balls at fighting.

gsp would hurt him easily, just cause he can lift a lot of weight doesnt mean he cant feel pain. the only way i can see him standing a chance is cause of his size but all that does is constrict his movement which is very important in a fight to be flexable and quick

gsp gets my vote..

[craig84]

lol at sumo video

shaw could grab an arm and a leg, put his foot on gsp's back, and deadlift his limbs off. pretty sure shaw would get knocked out before he could get his hands on gsp

the point was at what point to skill not triumph. you think he sucks because he fought a guy in his own weight class. talking about a guy 6'8 and 2.5 times the weight, pure strength, against a skilled but smaller person

[Mr. Manlet]

im sure Shaw is far more athletic then that slob

[2xDay]

No matter how big you are, if you have a glass chin you are going to go down. Even though GSP relies on "lay & pray", he still knows how to strike. Shaw probably has never even been taught how to throw a proper punch which involves using your first two knuckles so you don't break your hand and using your body to put power behind it.

GSP all the way. Trained elite MMA fighter would crush any elite strongman any day.

[Uncle-Phil]

There's hundreds of videos showing the professional fighter winning against strong guys. Why is this even a question any more?

[Fit1NYC]

U guys don't remember that black sumo in old UFC? He got destroyed
Gsp would wreck that guy

[Pad264]

Weight matters, guys. Shaw wins.

[FearThisjake]

of course shaw could win if he happened to get a hold of him, he'd just over power him if GSP didn't slip away. shaw could literally mold and shape GSP if he had a good grip on him

but, GSP is a trained fighter, shaw isn't. my vote would go to GSP, but I wouldn't be incredibly surprised if shaw actually did win and if he did, it would likely be from submission, not ko or tko

[topperstyle]

LOL at comparing a strongman competitor with a fat sumo wrestler

strongman wins.

saying that guy and shaw are on the same level of athleticism...lol

lol holy **** you just took every single stance on this possible in one post. lol

[brah.sensation]

blows to the head = that fat kunt passes out

[buckfangs]

i don't know i think GSP could win by jumping in kicking the crap out of his knees and jumping out until the dude collapses and then he could mangle his face, but i see the strongman winning more times out 10

[DrewDoingIt]

You guys are absolutely nuts if you don't think GSP would kick this guy's ass. Being massive and strong does not make you a competent fighter. Definitely not capable of defending yourself against a great MMA fighter.

[MattySinz]

strongman, I don't he weighs 460lbs and how much of that is muscle? quite a bit. Don't see a much smaller mma fighter having the strength to submit him.

[Flexz0r]

this has been done before, gsp ran through some nfl player on a youtube vid - like 240lb guy with barely any fat and gsp tossed him around like it was nothing

here

Georges Laraque
Born December 7, 1976 (age 35)
Montreal, QC, Canada
Height 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m)
Weight 273 lb (124 kg; 19 st 7 lb)

[p7nk]

Shaw would gass and basically just be a punching bag and i'm saying this as a GSP hater. but then again GSP would try to LNP him and get crushed

Actually Hackney was getting pounded on early in that fight. He was just lucky that Yarborough (the sumo) went full retard and pushed him out of the octagon which caused the fight to be broken up and re-started.

All a guy like would have to do is keep his hands near his face to protect his chin and then cut off the octagon until he can grab you..... and once he does... goodnight sweet prince. Shaq isn't some fat fuk who can barely move.... he's pretty athletic and if he put you in a bear hug he'd probably snap your spine.

Laraque isn't a strong man and he's almost 200 lbs lighter than Shaw lol....

This isn't a contest of lifting heavy things.
