Deluxe corner

[LamaIronFist]

I am always amazed to see GSP corner and carry the water bottles of low ranked fighters on his team he is trying to help. Guys like Haqparast.

That young guy probably does not have much in his wallet right now. Hope the UFC will bring him up slowly.
UFC and Bellator burnt a lot of young guys in recent years. Guys like Aaron Pico come to mind. E-Z on those kids guys. This is a tough and complex sport.

It is very clear that GSP loves to share all the tricks he knows.
Lots of guys who went to Tristar got plenty of one on one tips from GSP for free. Some is documented on youtube, some disclosed by those fighters in interviews with the usual question: how is it to train in the same gym than GSP?

GSP synthetized a wackload of tricks from Europe to Thailand and gives it on a silver plate to some young fighters of modest means.

GSP is one of the rare guys Dana had a hard time taking advantage of. I truly believe that money will talk and that the UFC will cave in and set-up something between GSP and Khabib. They both respect each others a lot but they both want it. Big payday for both. However it can't be for the belt as GSP won't defend if he wins. They would need a catch up weight otherwise this will wreck the division.

people are overestimating Khabib's PPV drawing power...

Do we have the PPV numbers for GSP vs Bisping?? Iwas just curious, because Bisping seems to be more popular than Khabib with casuals, I don't know.

875,000 buys.

Bisping with 29 UFC fights, 3 Ultimate Fighter seasons, spearheaded UFC's reach in UK, has been with the company since 2006... of course he's more well known to the casuals. Nothing weird about that.

I know, that is my point. Khabib is not a drawing power like Bisping, so since this is a high risk fight for GSP, he won't take it unless he is paid Millions.

GSP's game isn't that impressive. He just jab jab jab and then double leg. Then he lays on you to tire you out.

The word "casuals" in relation to Bisping just triggered me, I guess. And I agree. I don't think Khabib is a draw. I believe Ali buys comments, likes and followers to his clients, so Khabz' social media following seems fishy as well. I think most of what he has that's legit came from the Conor shindig. UFC 242 will be the first real test, though. Maybe I'll be proven wrong.

Fact that everyone knows exactly what he'll do and they still can't stop it makes it impressive. Quit hating.

Agreed. Being the GOAT WW and multiple division champion isn't impressive at all..

You think GSP would be able to laynpray usman? He was champion at a time when MMA was still developing and arguably lost to Hendricks. GSP proved he is not invincible.
