Love him or loathe him, GSP arguably demonstrated the best MMA adapted wrestling in the history of the sport. Often out-performing high level decorated wrestlers. Was it just natural born talent? An intensity of dedication to training? He's often criticized for his lacklustre striking but is it possible that his striking is great enough to trouble his opponents and throw them off of their game? Allowing him to dominate them at their own proficiency?
While he gets shit on a lot for not being a finisher it's difficult for anyone to deny his dominance. Even his haters post fight predictions like "GSP 50-45" as a diss. But what I'm wondering is how? How does a guy with zero wresting pedigree, no amateur boxing and, a self admitted, life of growing up as a soft "nerd", become so dominant?
