Not a fan of Hendricks, but it's easy to keep your record unblemished when you quit before you start losing definitively.
.... Isn't this the dream? LOL! I'm guessing you're a BJ fan

Who are you talking about? GSP never had an unblemished record, he was knocked out and submitted before. GSP did noy quit either, he took a break. He is on the road to come back, to get all the belts and get out before becoming a laughing stock like BJ.Not a fan of Hendricks, but it's easy to keep your record unblemished when you quit before you start losing definitively.

Read my sig and weep.
usada gsp is... yea we don't know yet
Maybe he should develop buffet anxiety. Dude looked fat as fuck.I think Johnny Hendricks will develop scale anxiety, if he hasn't already.
Somebody should measure his Heart rate and blood pressure before he sees a scale, every time he sees a scale, and 10 minutes after the scale is no longer in his field of vision.
That will be an interesting study. haha
You fell for that?he was sporting an huge gut, i'm sure that had something to do with his decision to postpone his return
I will not dispute that, but people are different.I think GSP gets a hard time because he didn't retire definitively and has been a cock tease about making a comeback for the last three years. Then when he finally decides to come back, campaigns for a fight against an easy opponent outside his weight class instead of the tougher fight in the division he vacated. GSP is just like Mighty Mouse. He doesn't care about his legacy. He only cares about the W's. Doesn't matter who it's against as long as he can beat them.
Guys like Chuck and BJ were at least willing to test themselves and go out on their shield if need be. That will always get more respect in my book.

GSP has ALWAYS said that his legacy is the most important thing, that's why he rather not take risks in a boring secure decision win than going for broke and getting caught in the process.
But I disagree with you about MM. He dominates and finished his opponents.
He simply is battling UFC due to UFC's bullying tactics, and I can't fault him for that.
Besides, Chuck never went to HW's to test himself. BJ did. Silva did as well, But I get your point.
At this time though, I don't know if GSP can make WW, which might be the reason he was fighting Bisping.
I always wonder if people who say this actually watched his fights or just read Sherdog. He finished 2 of his next 3 fights after losing to Serra. He didn't change until he had defended the title a few times.Nah GSP is too terrified by the thought of losing to go out like BJ. This is the guy who completely changed his fighting style after losing his belt the first time.
Got it. You'd rather see a guy "Just Scrap" and go on a 5 fights losing streak than see a fighter evolve. It's OK, you might hit maturity soon, don't despair!Nah GSP is too terrified by the thought of losing to go out like BJ.

Agree. but such are wrestler's game.When was the last time Hendricks finished a fight? 2012. For all the criticism of GSP being a point fighter, Hendricks has 10 straight fights where either he has finished or have gone to the judges. He won the belt from Lawler by decision and his only wins since have been a humpfest against Matt Brown and a game of patty-cake with Lombard.

The difference here is that GSP himself said he plays it safe. He said himself he was afraid to lose, so he does not give in to chance. he goes for the sure victory.
Besides, let us try not to compare them both.
GSP had Koscheck in Canada, broke his orbital bone in the first round and yet never attempted anything other than his jabs.
That was the gameplan, that is what he did.
So one thing is to fight to a decision. Another is to choose to go to a decision against someone you injured in the first,m and yet not attempt to close the deal. In that, you can't fault Hendricks. When he smells blood, he goes in for the kill.
well, when was the last time GSP went for the kill? Before he was KO'd?When was the last time Hendricks smelled blood (aside from at Golden Corral)? He hasn't apparently had a whiff since 2012 and therefore gone in for the kill.
You think what GSP did in the WW division was *easy*?Not a fan of Hendricks, but it's easy to keep your record unblemished when you quit before you start losing definitively.
