GSP haters should be automatically banned .
using that word unironically
We need to put an end to the use of the word hater all together.
I always rooted for GSP until after the Hendricks fight. Walking away after he's finally pushed to the brink in a tough fight...that sucked.Im confused, are the haters of the most accomplished and most humble WW champion of all time a loud minority, or has it tipped so that there are more haters at this point?
If any mods want to make this a poll, feel free.
People tend to voice their opinion more often when it's negative. People rarely talk about a time when they were treated fairly but always shout about being treated unfairly. Same kind of thing I think.Im confused, are the haters of the most accomplished and most humble WW champion of all time a loud minority, or has it tipped so that there are more haters at this point?

if there's a fighter who deserves MORE hate, it's GSP. GSP fans have convinced everyone that not only has GSP literally never done anything poorly, which is untrue, but that he has never done anything bad, which isn't true. They explained away him getting greased up, they explained away steroid accusations for YEARS, they explained away him dodging Hendricks to fight Diaz, they explained away every single shady thing that happened to Diaz in montreal, they explained away him retiring in the ring after finally being forced to be in with Hendricks and getting away with a narrow decision, they are in the process of explaining away him cynically ducking Robbie Lawler and finally saying he's ready to come back now that there is a weak champion at MW. He was too small then, he made sure to remind us he's a small welterweight now, but it's about skill, not size.
Yet he was too small to fight Anderson Silva. didn't stop him from letting people talk about him fighting Anderson after EVERY SINGLE FIGHT to keep his name popping, but he was never going to take that fight, it was a threatening fight.
Fuck GSP. I'm sick of GSP. Go away, Leave.

I could accept him never fighting Anderson, but now he wants to come back and fight Bisping at MW? And it's because skill matters more than six?

And the richest part of #GreaseGate was that GSP needed to cheat to beat a featherweight! It is like Hillary having to rig the primaries, go all #ExitPollGate, in order to beat a 120 year old Jewish socialist from Vermont....you seriously can't make this stuff up!
Every fighter can show professionalism and sportsman ship..maybe he really didn't want to offend people. But there was something about him that he wanted to say more.I have a love/hate with him.
He seems like a nice guy in interviews but I always got the Jon Jones vibe from him that he was holding something back. He's trying his best to be flawless and a role model but it felt like he was afraid to really speak his mind to not offend people or sponsors.
My biggest problem with him was how everything always had to be in his favor. He looked at MMA like a math problem and if the odds weren't 90% in his favor, he wasn't going to do something. That meant not taking risks in fights, weight classes, etc. He literally would have submission opportunities and wouldn't take them because he would lose position. Also, despite being one of the best of all time, he completely ducked Middleweight and Anderson despite saying he's a traditional martial artist and technique beats size.
Other than that, he clearly greased in at least one fight and I'm still suspect of his body.
I do like Georges and I think he's good for the sport but he tries too hard.
