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 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.

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.

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

Forgot how good GSP was - Diaz never stood a chance outside of a lucky hit. Glad I didn't bet on that one.

He was also letting everyone know how displeased he is with MMA rules. He does not subscribe to the opinion that taking someone down and laying on them for 2 minutes should be viewed as an advantage. I'm a Nick Diaz fan, but, man, if you don't like being on the bottom the whole fight, don't let your opponent take you down.

I'll say I found several of the decisions tonight questionable, not GSP though.

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.

Diaz is a ****ing shit head. He's the reason why I didn't pay for the fight. I could give a shit if I ever watched him fight ever again to be honest. Nothing but a loud mouthed overrated punk. His brother is a ****ing tool too. Must run in the family. Bet his parents are ****ing morons too.
So Ronda Rousey is going to be the next TUF coach? <---- wtf? ![]() Its going to be women AND men supposedly....you think any male MMA fighter is going to listen to her garbage about arm bars? Dana is desperately looking for his cash cow ever since Lesnar left UFC.

Not as this stage of GSP's career. His biggest strength was always his superior athletic ability and that's diminished over time and with the knee. The only fight for Silva is Jones and he won't take it.

Hendricks/GSP will be a hell of a fight, I'll say that much. The takedown/takedown defense battle will be amazing. It could either be a better version of tonight's Main Event (eg, Hendricks defends the takedowns, and forces better standup action), or it could be a VERY technical ground game. Hendricks is no joke. Condit is amazing, too. If Hendricks could beat GSP, I'll bet we see Hendricks/Condit II before Hendricks/GSP II.

Why do you think that is? Does he see something in Jones that is a major concern? Or is he just afraid of tarnishing his legacy by risking the weight class move and losing?
