Maia-RDA-Woodley-Colby-Masvidal-Burns-Masvidal is an absolutely insane run. Literally all killers. If he beats Colby in a rematch and then whoever is after that (Leon or Wonderboy?), idk man. The discussion gets interesting
I think at this point GSP is done. He's 39 and that's ancient for any non-heavyweight. He's fought once in 8 years. He would've had a big size advantage on Khabib and would have taken away Khabib's crown as P4P of all time. I don't think the risk/reward is there for an Usman fight. It doesn't add to his legacy as much as a Khabib fight would, and Usman is just as much of a monster.
If anything, Khabib keeps saying he wants a challenge. Go fight Usman. That's a damn challenge and would sell huge. Not as much as GSP, but in the same universe at this point. Especially if Usman runs through Colby or puts on another thriller like the first fight.
