props to GSP for outwrestling everyone he faces. GSP is a great fighter. I'm not saying he's not. But the way he fights and uses his skills is pathetic. He point fights, and the UFC bigs him up likes hes the GOAT. On one hand Dana tries to promote exciting fighters, but on the other hand GSP is the champ and is the king of lay and pray
I like how just because GSP's strengths lie in wrestling and takedowns, it's deemed as a lesser fighting style because he isn't knocking everyone out. It may not be as exciting but is it as effective? yes

thats the thing though, GSP is probably the most well rounded fighter in the game. He is a great striker, but he chooses to use his wrestling and takedowns to fight a "smart" fight. Yes, it gets him the W's, Yes it keeps him as champion. But :scusthov: as a fan, I ain't tryin to watch that shyt.

GSP's chin wouldn't have made it out of the first round.
He's only been knocked out once. Hendricks is gonna count on that way too much, and as good as he thinks his wrestling is GSP has made great wrestlers look like amateurs.
