    GSP is perhaps the most complete MMA fighter at the moment and sure in the top 3 of the sport. However, as Van Child said, GSP is not a big WW and when you want to fight against the top machines at 183, size become a factor. As much as I admire GSP, I wouldn't bet all my money on him against the 180 + top fighters.

    GSP would out wrestle most in Pride if they were closer to his weight however he would be outweighed by most. He wouldn't be as affective as he is now in the UFC because if your referring to the no weight classes in in the original UFC and old Pride then no he would be out muscled.

    GSP is more well conditioned than nearly all opposition and given his ability to control the action and pace of a fight he would thrive on the longer first rounds.
    The men who fought in Pride were less rounded fighters so the guys from the past would actually have major problems with Georges.

    The weight would be an issue, but as Georges has been so hesitant to commit to a move to 185, if forced we would see a much larger athlete.
