First and foremost I am A FAN of fighting. I could care a less whats best for the UFC, I dont see any of their profits....So I dont struggle with the same worries and questions the media does when they seem to just care about and talk about how the UFC will do, whats next for the UFC. "WHAT WOULD THIS DO TO THE DIVISION IF THIS OR THAT HAPPENS?" "WHAT HAPPENS TO THE TITLE?"
(Dana: "if the fans want it we make it"- YEAH bite me)
What do titles mean anymore now they have been so devalued. Lets be real its the CASH that means everything to the fighter the belt is now only a prop. GSP didnt want the belt, he clearly stated all he wanted was to have the opportunity to challenge himself against a man who is looked to be unbeatable and undefeated regardless of what some fans may think of the outcome.
I am a fan of watching the best fights period, we had a chance to see one here. Its not us fans problem if the UFC dont have back up plans for outcomes they dont expect to happen. Its the fight game. All of a sudden they are in the fair play business? This is the type of FIGHT fans wait months to see...A REAL MONEY FIGHT, A SUPER FIGHT (one I personally would have paid $100 PPV to watch) compared to the junk cards theyve been putting together lately.
At a catch weight of 160 pounds which they both were REPORTEDLY good with until the UFC nixed it. I dont wanna hear about catch weights not possible Rich Franklin fought at a couple catch weights and in certain circumstances they have made exceptions to do so. No LW title would be at risk, a LOSS to GSP wouldn't kill Khabibs stock either, losing to the GOAT? BUT what it does for Khabibs stock if he did stop Pierre? Thats the story UFC would be in business for.
FINALLY we would have seen somebody try and beat GSP at GSPs game. Many feel GSP WOULD WALK THROUGH KHABIB. Its possible, I think there is evidence that supports that wouldnt be the case. You have to of considered his age, his time off, I dont put much stock in GSP beating a blind eyed Bisping since nobody took him serious as a MW champion hence why he chose Bisping. Unfortunately thats the truth. GSP IS NOT in his prime and Khabib has stated it has been his dream to fight GSP, he trained all his life to fight GSP, and to me that is a motivated scary man when you were always his main target....GSP in his prime has been taken down before, Koscheck did so, GSP was dropped by somebody as small as a natural 155er Matt Serra and Carlos Condit via head kick. GSP also left the Jonny Hendricks fight with meat loaf for a face. SO telling me Khabib has no shot and it be a pointless fight your just not seeing the big picture.
Whether or not you believe Khabib would win or lose, I have no doubt in my mind in GSP's life today having to make 160/165...it would be one hell of a competitive fight.
