Ok. Makes sense.
Next question!

GSP haters incoming.

"I never had a contract put in front of me" is an old cop out used by many fighters over the years.

If your management asks for too much or puts too many obstacles in the way, you will never get an official contract put in front of you. Then the fighter gets to say he never officially declined, while unofficially refusing to budge.

I am not putting blame on GSP here. I have no idea if the rumor that he priced himself out by asking for 8 figures is true or not. And I never did and never will expect a fighter to move up a division to fight - that's an unreasonable expectation fans have of fighters.

I'm only saying his reasoning in this specific video is untrustworthy.

quack, quack

Serra turned Rush into Patience.

was afraid no need to explain next

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

the stock market?

 

[tat2man5k]

It's ashame they never fought, too. Chael laid down the blueprint to beat AS. I wonder if GSP regrets not fighting him, and potentially being the one to beat him.

 

[Frode Falch]

The only way to save face would be to come clean with the fact that he knew he would get beat.

That would actually be met with respect.

i'm a gsp fan, that said, the reason i didn't buy a ferrari when i was clearly looking at them at the dealership has nothing to do with not being able to afford it. its because nobody put a contract in front of me.

What was Anderson Silva's explanation for why he never fought Jones?

 

[SuperAlly]

He’s a bitch straight out. He could of beat silva for sure but never had the confidence for it. That’s why I rate Silva ahead of gsp. Even tho if they fought I would give the edge to gsp.

Him waiting out going to MW till the weakest champ in recent memory got there and dipping out once he would have to defend against Bobby Knuckles speaks louder than words.

TBF Chael was juiced to the gills and is bigger than GSP even when Chael isn't juicing. and in the end Chael was subbed.

It was probably way to high risk for a safe fighter (during his championship reign) like GSP. If a bloated LW BJJ guy can make you tap to strikes, imagine what one of the GOAT strikers in MMA history would do to you, especially one who easily finishes people above his weight class in under 1 round.

No, I totally get that, but GSP has much better sub defense, and, if timed right, would be able to take AS down, assuming he doesn't get clipped from a distance.
