It's all good, but it's important to those of us who instruct to distinguish the difference. What GSP DOES can be learned, not particularly his speed. But his positioning facilitates that speed being useful to him. Like in wrestling, strong guys being a dime a dozen, the same is true for fast guys in striking Arts. Eventually everyone is at the very least, quicker than you think until you're in there with them.
But the key phrase I mentioned was putting him in position. That's what has to be done, and in most of his fights but one (Serra) he makes people have to work EXTREMELY hard to land. In the case of the first bout with Serra, he did all the work FOR Matt.
