I have all due respect for ground game. I just didn't see GSP coming back so strong from an ACL. The man is Joe Montana of UFC as far as technique and finesse. I swallow my words. Also thought Diaz was better than that by fighter standards.

He has not truly finished a fight in 5 years. He plays it safe and that is what most fans hate about GSP. There is a reason every fight he has had as of late is in his hometown. |

And Silva will destroy Jones. The difference in their ability at stand up is just light years apart. Jones so far, as gotten by on his reach for the most part. Machida was taking him apart in the first round until Jones cut him open in the second. Silva will toy with him for a while then finish him. |

"Even when the two were upright, Diaz got the worst of it. St-Pierre landed 105 of 167 punches, according to FightMetric. Diaz landed 41 of 136 attempts, including only four over the first two rounds. But this was a vintage St-Pierre fight, a calculated one where the longtime champ kept an eye on the clock as he earned the win." |

A lot of his title fights have been lay n pray. He certainly has the right to do what he wants, the Diaz fight was not a lay and pray (was first 2 rounds) Go back and watch the Condit fight, that's all GSP did. I would love to see jones/silva, although I think Jones would ragdoll him. |

I didn't watch the fight dickbag. Now tell me about how much of an expert you are, if you can type with a French Canadian cock in your mouth.

Enough to understand what is and isn't lay pray **** stick. Obviously MMA has it's share of "TrueFans" based on your comments and a few others.

I appreciate the technical and strategic aspect of his fights so I don't think they are "boring". It's pretty amazing that top fighters aren't able to even win a round against him. He controls standup guys on the ground and holds his own striking and ground guys he just stands up and pops them in the mug for 5 rounds. If you are looking for a bar room brawl then yeah, he's not the guy you are going to pay to watch fight.

I don't pay to watch it so I don't flip out but if I was dropping dollars GSP would be pretty low on my watch list.

He's the Lennox Lewis of MMA. He may be a technical master, but for a spectator sport, he's lame.
