Does GSP have any non-Canadian fans?

[West Linn]

Serious question. Whenever I see someone praising GSP or slobbing his knob, I look at their location: Canada.

Does GSP have any non-Canadian fans or are you all just Canadian marks?

I was just watching Ariel's bit on GSP. And so much of what he says was tied to being Canadian, GSP being Canadian, being proud as a Canadian. Why is GSP fandom so tightly tied to nationality? You see it with other fighters and nationalities sure, namely Brazil, but not to the extent that you see with GSP. What gives? Is Canada really that deprived of sports stars that you cling so tightly to your one?



It's crazy how many Canadian posters there are here. I wonder if any of you would be here if it weren't for GSP. Which is completely fine and understandable. It just blows my mind how loyal (and biased) his fans are.

I’m a fan even though I do think he could of challenged himself more

 

[Leinster Rugby]

This is an idiotic thread and yes. He has plenty of fans outside his home nation, myself included.

It blows my mind how insane his haters are around here.

Let me guess. Canadian?

I guess I have to stay out of this one.

But 100%

Well, considering every one of his fights was outside of Canada except for like 3 and they always sold out, I would say yes. Also, in all those fights in the US and elsewhere, he was always given a hero's welcome.

I agree with him.... not Canadian.

 

[West Linn]

You tell me...

Lol. That's probably sitting in a trash bin somewhere.

Unless your favourite fighter is Conor McGregor, he is probably more popular than your favourite fighter, Einstein.

I like the last comment about fan bias. Please oh please tell me who has a fanbase that is in the GOAT discussion that doesn't? Or even a current champ .... All biased fanbases.

You'd know about trash bins.

I doubt it. But thanks bro.

I'm a GSP fan, he's a great guy, but his hardcore fans are borderline retarded.

P4P worst fanbases in MMA history:

1. GSP
2. Khabib
3. Conor

 

[bobgeese]

Of course.

 

[Londonjitsu]

I appreciate gsp as a martial artist.
I agree with other posters and wish he could have tested himself more.
Jones, Fedor, Silva etc
would definitely have rematched hendricks and fought Woodley.

Jones proving that by fighting cormier and rematching Gustafsson
