    Nog "obviously not the current zombie version"
    Nick Diaz
    Fedor
    Rampage
    Shields



    Easiest

    Let's see some more!

    Jardine is the easiest fighter to finish

    Thiago Silva is easy too

    Thiago gets finished one time by Machida at the last couple seconds of a round so he is easy to finish? You make no sense.

    Well you just haven't had the chance to see it much but mark my words he is soft and glass chinned. I love him though one of my favorite fighters!!!

    Please explain your reasoning. After all, we all know that you have none.

    Well, Silva gets Rampage next so I have a feeling we will see what kind of whiskers he has.

    He gets rocked by average punches. I don't really see the need for justification.

    Rocked?? Are you kidding?? Did he go down? I don't think so.
    How can that possibly be considered easy to finish?

    Thiago definitely can't be labeled "easy to finish". There is just justifying it.

    Yeah, I remember Thiago absolutely stalking Rashad Evans seemingly without regard for being hit. Obviously Evans limited the striking but I don't think he ever even gained Silva's respect for his power. Silva may not have a granite chin but I don't think there is evidence to call his chin glass, yet.

    Because he's chinny and has terrible cardio.

    Because Rashad couldn't hit him.

    Rashad has absolute abhorrent striking. Outside of a few counter haymakers, he makes Chuck Liddell look like Anderson Silva.

    He basically made slow ass, gassed Thiago Silva looked like Nicclino Locche.

    Rashad can only counter, so Thiago made him lead because Thiago himself couldn't lead and get chin checked.

    Rashad proceeded to whiff on several punches then nearly get KOd.

    If you say so. I thought it was more because Rashad was thinking take down for the most part.

    Nevertheless, Rashad tagged and stunnd Rampage but could make Silva blink. Just saying.

    Rashad caught Rampage flush once then never landed anything again. His striking is so hard to watch, nothing more than a bunch of blocked/grazing jabs and a few hooks while he escapes to the outside.

    Jon Fitch is hard to finish.

    Tito Ortiz is fairly easy to finish.

    Laughing at someone saying Thiago Silva is easy to finish. He has been stopped by one guy in his career. A guy that many had in their top5 p4p a year ago. And now he is easy to finish. :kick:

    Best choice in my opinion. He was stopped early in his career at 205 pounds. But he ain't getting stopped at 170. If he withstood the GSP beating, Fitch won't get stopped.

    Yes because GSP's finishing skills are legendary and his punching power is Tyson-esque.

    Seriously, do you try to come off as a fool? You would try to contradict a fence post.

    Figures you would look for a way to degrade the sports #1 p4p fighter. You are laughable.

    Seriously, do you watch fights?

    GSP has never finished a single fighter with one strike and he's notorious for not finishing guys when he has them hurt.

    Jay Hieron was probably his most impressive stoppage to date, and that was what? After the 4th time rocking the guy? If he had any recovery ability he would've survived GSP easily. He wasn't even that convincingly stopped, he was still reaching out to tie him up.

    Hughes survived the first round against him, Fitch survived him multiple times, it took him damn near 4 tries to stop Hieron, he went to a decision with a damn near blind Koscheck, etc, he couldn't finish guys he had hurt in the TKO circuit either.

    GSP stops guys on accumulation, his finishing is shit and he has little power.
    You are acting like the man survived Shogun.

    Who ever said GSP stops guys with one punch? Where did you ever get that from?
