Oh yeah I agree with what you said and even though what went down wasn't necessarily correct by any means, GSP has been there for UFC for such a long time that throwing him a chance to have some fun wasn't the worst thing ever. I would have preferred he gone to welterweight since that's HIS division and there was no proper contenders.He did hold up a division for quite some time tho.
Of course you can blame Bisping and the UFC, but lets not play stupid.
GSP knew:
1) That Bisping wasn't a good enough fighter to take a fight and risk losing out on a GSP payday.
2) That an interim champ had already been declared that had actually beat the #1 and #2 contender.
3) That he didn't deserve a titleshot at MW.
He still took the fight (and the months negotiating) despite what he was doing to the legitimacy of the sport and the top contenders of the MW division.
The GSP I remember from 4 years ago did everything he could to prove he was the best, and actually made a convincing case (only second to Fedor in my book and the distance between GSP and #3 is a chasm)
This new GSP is EVERYTHING that is wrong with MMA now.
If he wants to make money fights, fine. But he needs to stay the fuck away from belts so that there are money fights for other guys in the future.
He's trying to play the game like a really lame celebrity instead of like the true champion I remembered.
Was there an actual callout? It's a completely retarded idea.
Yeah that was all I knew.No it was Firas who said it..
Hes an independent contractor who now starts to act like one. Good for him, he got smart people around him. Who did we think he was? An employee, the «what ever UFC wants next im ok with» guy?lol at his mayweather call out. He is not the guy you thought he was, am I right gspgoat boys?
Exactly. As if GSP doesn't deserve to make money after putting his ass on the line for all of these years in fighting.Hes an independent contractor who now starts to act like one. Good for him, he got smart people around him. Who did we think he was? An employee, the «what ever UFC wants next im ok with» guy?
From 2004 to 2013, GSP fought the toughest schedule of opponents maybe in the history of the sport. He also built a legacy that is unmatched. He then stepped away for 4 years. He's back for money fights. He's not trying to hide that he's only back for money fights. His legacy is already set.lol at his mayweather call out. He is not the guy you thought he was, am I right gspgoat boys?
Did gsp call him out or did Firaz ?lol at his mayweather call out. He is not the guy you thought he was, am I right gspgoat boys?
