I hate how people have to love one fighter but then hate on another fighter. I hate how some fans of Anderson Silva have to disrespect GSP, and vice versa. With all the talk we used to hear about how "GOATs finish fights" and all that crap, I'm glad how it turned out with GSP and Silva. Silva ultimately paid for his reckless style and was punished badly by Weidman, and GSP went out on top like he should have.
But yet, to me at least, Anderson still has that mystique about him, because both of his losses had such insane and unusual finishes, you can't help but wonder if Silva was on his way to winning the first Weidman fight, and the way people were talking about Anderson's leg kicks on Weidman, after the first fight but before the second fight, talking about how that was one of the areas Weidman had a weakness. Then Weidman fixes that weakness and, possibly because of poor technique by Silva, breaks his goddamn leg in half. So epic.
GSP is not making excuses. The guy doesn't have to make excuses, he's a legend and the Greatest Fighter of All Time. He only lost twice, earlier on in his career and avenged both losses brutally. You simply can't deny it. If there was no time limit, GSP would finish every one of his opponents eventually, he just fights smart and dominates. The Hendricks fight is one of the greatest fights of all time and it was a war. GSP was looking for that right high kick and landed it quite a few times, Hendricks just has a granite chin, GSP also almost subbed him at the beginning of the fight and right at the end with the kimura.
Fuck GSP haters/
