I am on the fence about the GSP statement. He went from a balls to the wall finisher to a LnP wrestler when he won the belt and openly admitted it was the safest way to ensure keeping the title and protecting his sponsorships. That diminished him in my eyes greatly and I was one of his biggest fans.
always cracks me up seeing Daniel Cormier DJing in the back
Did he ever stop attempting to advance positions during his fights? It's also worth noting that every single fighter GSP fought late in his career knew his gameplan, acknowledged that they knew what he was going to do and that they had figured out the puzzle. Time after time, they were proven wrong. It was like watching Mariano Rivera pitch. The guy had one pitch and everyone knew it, but still, no one could hit it. That's a stark contrast from Tyron spending an entire fight clinging to the ability to avoid Maia.
Advancing position and not doing anything with it is not something I care about. And just because people couldn't stop him from laying all over them and not trying to finish = I am not impressed with his performance.
We all know the Dana never tells the truth and who the fuck knows what they said on their phone call. Take the call he had with Hunt.
Believe it or not, it's not as simple as just "finishing" the best fighters in the world.
And yet he finished them over and over again and then it suddenly stopped when he won the belt.......
or as competition got better he had more decisions...
One word: Hardy
Please explain that to me!!! Is that seriously not a joke?
Wow, one decision against a guy who he probably could have finished. I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.
- Jon Fitch
- Thiago Alves
- Both Koshcheck fights
- Jake Shields
All very winnable fights.
- He out wreslted Fitch when he could have tried out striking him.
- He laid all over Alves. It was ridiculous. He just blanketed him because he didn't want to stand (smart) with Alves and did nothing to finish him.
- He just circled away from Josh and in the second fight hit him with so many jabs he broke his orbital bone but showed ZERO killer instinct in going after a win on an injured opponent he was slapping around.
- He just circled Jake not wanting to go to the ground. I do believe GSP took an eye poke so that could have been an issue there though I don't remember which round (late or early). I do remember GSP dropping Jake with a head kick in the 1st round and then not following up out of what I can only assume was concern of being dragged down with Jake to the floor and letting Jake pop back up which was a giant disappointment.
First round. If the doctors had heard what he said to his corner the fight would have been stopped. He was blind in that eye from the poke till the end of the fight.
Re GSP changing styles after winning the belt: how do you extend the length of the bout by 2/3's and not expect a change in style?
I'd love to see the top guys in more 3 round fights where they could go balls-out and not have to worry so much about the gas tank.
Also, as long as 1/2 of your pay is your 'win bonus', you have incentive to get a W, regardless of how it's done.

GSP changed his style after his loss the Serra. Before that he was still going for the finish. It's pretty widely known that he was never able to get over the emotional strain that loss put on him. He changed to his safe style after to make sure it wouldn't happen again.
If you guys can even read what randoms would have to say to Tyron on social media, you're some racist fucks, because that's bound to be what's motivating half or more of the "haters" on there.
Yes. I know. That is disagreeable to hear.
But I can't read what dipshits have to say to nonwhites on SM. I already know what they are, what they are apt to say, why, and how outraged they'd be to have their stupidity underlined.
Yes, there are others who are not that.
But there are so many that are that, if you can bear it, you need to look at & question yaself and have a come to Jesus moment.
That is not aimed at you, OTP. I have read enough of your posts in the past week to know the score there.
So do you.
ODY?

I'm joking, but I'm serious.
If you can bear it, it's worth reflecting on that you can.
