Odd to say the least
Only had one more Victory in his MMA career 1-7-0-1 since this interview
I timestamped the relevant part but the 5 minute interview has some very interesting nuggets in it

This thing, all things devours.
Birds, trees, beasts, flowers.
Gnaws iron, bites steel.
Grinds hard stones to meal.
Slays king, ruins town,
AND BEATS HIGH MOUNTAIN DOWN!

Yes

Though this surrender to father time was mental, instead of physical
He obviously wanted to go to boxing in that interview

His style with his hands low and timing/accuracy based striking really suffered from loss of speed, and they say speed is the first thing to go

Is normal.


Anderson Silva would have stopped GSP standing at middleweight in their respective primes.

Anderson Silva would have BEEN stopped by Jon Jones on the ground at 205 in their respective primes.

These are my opinions.

I would love to hear from anyone with apposing views.
