Brendan Schaub calls BS on GSP’s excuses. Says he doesn’t want to fight Whittaker or Woodley - VIDEO

[ermac88]

I call bullshit too, GSP took the only fight he had a chance at MW, always ducked Spider and now is ducking Whittaker, Fedor seems like the only man not afraid of fighting bigger men without chemical help. GOAT by elimination thus far.

Fedor, a russian fighter in an organization that encouraged, distributed steroids and had predetermined outcomes, never got "chemical help".
Lol
Not likely.

 

[ermac88]

GSP WAS the man.

But he clearly wants nothing to do with Woodley or WW contenders, and rightfully so.

Schaub is right.

Just keep in moving George

Are you claiming GSP ducked pre USADA or Post USADA Anderson Silva??

So why bring up post USADA AS weight when it's irrelevant to your argument.

Firstly, GSP did NOT duck Anderson. You can’t duck someone not in your weight class. He was clearly scared of Anderson and avoided him, but GSP had absolutely no responsibility to move up to fight Anderson.

He does, however, have a responsibility to fight Whittaker.

Second, Anderson weighed 195 for Maia (according to Soares), and 198 for DC. He weighed in only 183 for I think Leites, so he clearly didn’t weigh 200+ then as he wouldn’t over cut so much. So Anderson has never been this huge monster MW.

In cage, Anderson both pre and post USADA seemed to weigh mid to high 190’s in cage.

According to Soares Anderson Silva walked around at 220lbs lean. Although they do always say whatever fits their narrative best regardless of the truth

No, not “lean” - fat on McDonald’s.

Walk around weight is utterly meaningless. Only in cage weight is of consequence.

 

[McGruber]

Yea the same AS that couldnt even beat Bisping, that was AS 5 years ago buddy.

He stated himself his walk around weight was 215 - 220(lean) in his prime.

Incorrect. Below is also his bod pod measurements from before his camp with Forrest.

He was 96kg or 211lb's at 19% bodyfat which is low 190's at 10% bodyfat. The whole BS about Anderson being 220 was a myth. The myth always comes up against every dominant champ trying to discredit their performances.

The reality is, he started at 168lb's. Was never greater than 200lb's in the Octagon and as shown above, was in the low 190s at 10% bodyfat in his prime.

 

[TheDarkEmperor]

Says the guy who got knocked the fuck out so many times that he decided to leave the sport and never come back.

His analytic skills are almost as bad as his fighting.

 

[gdmclean]

Well so far Schaub is right. GSP has pulled out of the Whittaker fight. Wonder who he will cherry pick his next fight against? Hendricks?

 

[Sir Galahad]

Darn I knew GSP was going to do this if he beat Bisping. @HI SCOTT NEWMAN @kevy2pale @paynebringer @Wadtucket

 

[fortheo]

Lol, and all of the sudden sherdog values the opinion of schaub. This guy's opinions have been a running joke around this place for the past few years, so if you find yourself agreeing with him, you might want to have some quiet time for some critical thinking and analysis.

Shaub lost me when he said GSP wasn't the draw he thought he was. GSP/Bisbing surpassed most expectations in terms of PPV buys.

Yeah it had half the ppv buys of Conors last fight. Totally amazing.
