No he didn't.
He was talking about retirement long before the Hendricks fight and the UFC basically showing him zero respect regarding drug testing probably helped his decision.I am going to be the devils advocate and say GSP retired young because he was scared for a Hendricks rematch or a fight with Robbie Lawler. He knew he could of lost either of those so he retired young.
He also was likely a Steroid/HGH cheat.
This is a GSP thread. Not a Fedor thread. Fedor is good but GSP subs him easily if they fight right now.
I rank him 2 all time behind Fedor. He is definitely the best UFC fighter ever, considering Andy and Juicehead are cheating bums, but let's be real: he got out in his prime because the strikers learned to wrestler and the wrestlers learned to strike. He ducked Hendricks like the plague, put up a massive stink about testing and then ceremoniously got the shit kicked out of him and retired promptly after the most corrupt champions gift decision since Bas Randleman. In the annals of MMA, it was probably the single most unresolved saga ever and very bad looking for GSP. The cherry picking of blind Bisping was also incredibly embarrassing.I am going to be the devils advocate and say GSP retired young because he was scared for a Hendricks rematch or a fight with Robbie Lawler.

He said he kept missing periods of time and didn't know how he got there and thought aliens were responsible.
He said a few weird things on Joe Rogan's podcast about him being scared of aliens and some nervous talk about abductions. It got blown out of proportion.I must have been on hiatus from here or it was before my time. What exactly is with all the GSP alien talk?
Just your average Saturday night.He got abducted, probed, and the rest is history.
