Im glad you acknowledge GSP and WME are both making poor decisions based On greed.
*Bisping, you knob
I think you had some animosity way before he quit, obviously.
We can't all love the same flavour of ice cream, but I think you're entirely wrong with his intention financially. He was earning fucking millions a year and he's hardly been Connoring it about.
WME decides, and the fighters will take that oppertunity, every single one of them. All of them.
As for GSP, he is goat with or without this belt. He can afford to abandon it. What's the problem with that? Many fighters had to or did let go of a belt to do other stuff, Jon Jones for example, he went off took part in a demolition derby he thought was going on in traffic. I just don't see why this is all so upsetting. But I respect your opinion.

you're doing my tweed in now. "greed'? Explan.
GSP wont need to be stripped.
I want him to come back and put this illness to bed along with Woodley. Desperately. I just can’t see it.

Greed as in the pay for the fight, 2 weight champ status and mostly the sponsors that were throwing him millions. Renewing the sponsors is easy if you take the easiest top 10 fight in any weightclass plus a belt.
Him beating bisPing isnt that big of a deal since he wasnt the only blown up WW to beat bisPing that month. But dont intentionally take the belt for hostage for personal gain. I dont like any champ that fucks off in any manner not defending. conor and bones included. I didnt like cain and aldos injurys but i wasnt really vocal and i dont like woodleys "thats racist/money fight/ill vacate for a superfight" BS. I want champ vs #1 contender
Im more into the fight itself and styles vs styles and the fighters warrior spirit. I dont see alot of warrior spirit in GSP. When the shit gets tough hes bails. Taps to serra and retires after hendricks beats his ass and now might duck contenders
My exact thoughts.
It really is a distorted achievement in beating Bisping. Bisping is a legend, but his career is coming to an end. A well deserved win over Rockhold (which I believe Bisping wins 1/10 times), and we all know he got the fight due to a pull out. He got gifted a queue jump, made the most of it, became champ, defended against the non-contenders.
They really do need to start promoting the fuck out of Whitaker. Such a nice, humble dude that will fucking kill you. Fighting wise, he's as exciting as it gets.
Warmed my hands up now, lovey.
Don't ever say GSP was after a pay deal, he's, simply not that sort of person. I don't know how to explain how horrid it was seeing him fight Mike but I couldn't actually bring myself to watch the finality, someone had to pull my head out of my hands in the middle of a bar full of which mostly people I'd decided to drag out to watch. He beat Mike the fuck up, and I dealt with it.
Fuck me, you annoy me with fighter spirit with GSP. FFS. I started really in on this I'm sure later than you but 10 years and some months.
This is exactly why I was rooting for Bisping. I hope this
is a ploy to get more money. If not its some shady bullshit
in my book

So if you were GSP you would have turned down the opportunity? Declined the millions of $ to be made?

Im sure GSP will turn down an opportunity to make millions when he has to defend.
GSP is a multi-millionaire, he doesn't have to work on Dana's slave farm for money anymore. And if he doesn't want to fight at 185 he doesn't have to.
One thing that I am noticing is that fighters seem to have more power in this stage of the new UFC. GSP screwed over Dana even though Dana had this written into GSP's contract that he would defend at least 1 time. GSP is not doing it. Yet silence from Dana.
Luke Rockhold crapped all over the UFC and called them out for their title defense nonsense. He said the sport is losing it's integrity. Again silence from Dana. Instead the UFC gives him a title shot against Robert Whittaker in Australia.
Conor went to Ireland and jumped in the cage and shoved a ref. Then he tried to jump back into the cage and slapped an executive. Again silence from Dana.
I think I am gathering 2 things from all of this. IMG has basically seemed to muzzle Dana and put him on a leash some. In the past he would have been doing interviews and shitting all over these fighters. Now is silent. Fighters seem to have much more power now in the IMG UFC era. Whether good or not we will see. I think it's all about making money now and not offending the fighters.

Lol
Some ignorant people on this thread so let me educate you. GSP struggled with his fight camp for Bisping because he was sick. He didn’t know he would get sicker as it went on when he signed for the fight. He has now been diagnosed with a chronic illness, one which could end his career depending on how bad it is and how it is treated. It is debilitating and how he managed to fight Bisping while suffering with it I will never know.
Those of you saying he’s ducking anyone are full of shit. He has a big battle ahead of him now to maintain his health, it’s hard to keep weight on with colitis so staying at an unnatural weight is going to be that much harder. He will drop weight and I wouldn’t be surprised if he dropped to lightweight or welter at the max. That is if he is able to fight again.
This guy was nothing but humble and a good ambassador for our sport, one kids can look up to and who martial artists aspire to be like. He didn’t get coked out of his head or beat women up or hit and run and he’s never been done for steroids. Say what you will but I’d rather one GSP than 10 Conor’s.
Give the guy a break have some fucking compassion and respect for a guy who deserves it.

But the kids got Jon Jones for that.
Remember, he is a role model, he used to snitch on kids in school for pot.
