I don't think that GSP viewed this sport as a fight but rather as Martial arts and sports competition but not street fight, Ancient battlefield, gladitor-type, dog fight or however people like to view it.
He viewed this thing pure and knew that the possibility of defeat is always there and so in a sense he never got carried away by his own hype or ability because he knew that defeat is part of reality. As Rashad famously said once ''Everybody believes his the one until someone comes and beats them but the truth is that there is no one''
GSP trained his butt off in every single fight as if it was his last fight and always did the best to avoid saying alot of bullshit and turned up at fight nights mostly without saying any insults or carrying a grudge but purely wanted the W more then anything in his life. Nothing personal but just bussiness.
I see alot of guys going into fights with Conor McGregor carrying a grudge or some sort of ill mannered hatred. hatred and grugde really makes a fighters judgement and decision vivid and lacking. example pride will delude them in seconds. Lets say they get rocked and there reactions would be different then usually because they will start to give back right away without thinking I need to recover ASAP and re-group. when Grudge and hatred is involved you start to belittle your opponent automatically finding yourself underrating his ability and it surprises them later in fight nights most of the time.
Do never enter the octagon with hatred, grudge or pride then you will start to see things clear and your vision will be clear as daylight and it will remove unreasonable fear of humilation, hesitation, sloppyness, and stiffness.
To put it short you will be the best version of yourself
