As an Overeem fan: I'm almost glad he lost.

I bet that UFC belt tastes sour anyways.

Not true. If Sherdog were to be better moderated, the forum would be so slow and messy they would lose most of their traffic. Why do you think Sherdog is the most popular MMA forum despite being hated by fighters, promoters and Dana White himself? It is active!

Did you ever try to browse other MMA forums? Sure, the Underground is pretty active but compared to Sherdog? It's a snail! You can make 20 posts and never get an answer or a debate because, well, very few people are there. Other forums? Nobody's there!

Sure, Sherdog has a big problem with trolls, redditers and keyboard warriors. But at least when an intelligent thread is posted (like this one), people respond! Sure you have to browse through meme pics and unfunny one liners but isn't that better than refreshing a page 10 times and still having no debate?

I don't think so and that's why I post here.

now if you really want people to take in your points and have a decent discussion then maybe some cliffs would help.

if you just want to insult sherdog posters then continue on.

Those one out of ten people are probably the only ones worth discussing anything with anyhow. If anything, a long post will help weed out the idiots and assholes.

Good op ts. I agree and hopefully he comes back better for it. I'm wondering how good of a camp the Blackzillians are for him.

So you say us 33 million Canadians drive your 315 million USA population's PPV industry by the nose? Having known that before, I would have entered the PPV business in a heartbeat! Are you aware that California ALONE has a 38 million population, 5 million more than ALL Canada? Where are they when their boy Diaz is fighting? Damn, 280k for BJ-Diaz, in a state right next to California.

Judging by the deepness of your post and your literacy skills, I bet you didn't know that!

As for the exciting factor, you are entitled to your opinion. Normally, a couple of teens on Sherdog weight way less than hundreds of thousand people ready to get their money out to watch GSP but what do I know, I'm just a crazy Canuck living in an igloo...

Poor GSP, he is hated on Sherdog. I bet he needs to bury himself under a mountain of American money to sleep at night.

And yeah, you may be right that the holes in his game could prevent him from getting the title; but that's no reason why I should not be a fan of him. If the calibre of fighter was the only quality that mattered when it came to being a fan of someone, everyone would just cheer for AS. Also worst defence in MMA? That's a pretty outlandish statement; maybe not as good as needed for the elite level of his division.

I've never been able to see the side that PED's are morally ambiguous. They are against the rules (not that i'm huge on rules) but more importantly they pressure others to drug themselves when they don't want to. Not to mention risking ones health. Even if a doctor prescribes them, the kind of doctor thats gonna risk his career over an illegal script is likely a shitbag that doesn't know what he's doing.

Overeem has his share of decent victories, but yeah, i think his striking defense is some of the worst in MMA. He uses his gloves like K-1 gloves for a long time now, and it looks silly as hell. Not that i'm gonna bash ya for liking the way he fights... I prefer heart over skill.. but theres definitely a line. We'll see how Reem does from now on, but I'm not sure he even beat Roy Nelson striking.

Agreed. If GSP was American he's not coming close to selling tickets/packing stadiums.

Exactly. Good post.
