Yeah shame on GSP for not wanting to fight a guy that everyone and their Grandma knew was doping. Yet, he still showed up and fought his heart out. GSP was burn't out and wanted to take a break after the Shields fight. He had been fighting 2 to 3 times a year for 10 years and wanted a break. Yet because the MMA world kept saying to him, No you gotta fight THIS guy. He fought 3 more times when he didn't really want to. GSP wanted to take a break from MMA long before the Hendricks fight and he deserved it. Yet because the Hendricks fight was so close the pinheads on this website cried that he was ducking. GSP fought EVERYONE in the WW division for a decade. Get the fuck outta here with this "didn't wanna fight Hendricks again' shit. He wanted out YEARS before that fight.
Do you happen to understand what speculation is? Apparently not Booby.
I thought Hendricks was doping too. I also thought GSP was using PEDS . However I have absolutely zero proof either guy was on PEDS. Hendricks never failed a drug test.
Everyone and their grandma knew he was on PEDS is a poor statement at best. Lies.
Maybe he wanted to retire before the Shields fight, maybe he didn't. Nobody was forcing him to continue to fight if this was truly the case. You are making it out to seem like GSP was the victim of the MMA world and he was forced to fight. He wasn't. GSP could've retired at any moment.
I already stated my case in regards to GSP trying to avoid fighting Hendricks. If you want to close your ears and ignore it, I do not have the clear ability to change your mind or even care to.
GSP is and always has been a Welterweight fighter. He was a champ that cleaned out the division. He is and was never under ANY obligation to go up a weight class and fight. How do you duck a fighter that isn't your weightclass ? That's just braindead fan nonsense that does not hold ANY credence whatsoever. There have probably been over 100 UFC champions since 1993 and somehow only GSP is dumped on for not moving out of his weightclass to fight another champion. Why didn't Anderson fight Jones? Why didn't Jones fight Cain? Why didn't Frankie Edgar fight GSP? It's bullshit backwards logic that holds no weight. GSP put in his time as WW champion. He fought all contenders, then near retirement wanted only legacy fights. He thought he could beat Bisping, so he moved up in weight and finished him. The idea that GSP thinking Bisping was more beatable than other champions is some kind of shady manuerver is utter nonsense. He moved up and beat the champ he thought he could beat. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I agree GSP had no obligation to move up. If you look up my posting history I've stated this many times now. I also don't think MM should have to move up if it does not want to.
The issue with GSP is him claiming a bloat load of obstacles to why he never wanted to move up and the moment Micheal Bisping is champion the guy has never been more hungry to prove himself against a MW. Hilarious.
Many of us on Sherdogger have been saying since day 1 Micheal Bisping was one of the weakest champions in recent times and this is the reason why GSP chose him. Hell, Micheal Bisping said it himself.
You are only picking this fight with me because you think I am a weak champion. Well he was and he lost to GSP. The irony.
I mean can you seriously sit there and tell me Bisping was a dominant Middle weight champion? For the majority of his career he was getting beat up by half of the LHW/Middle weight division. The dude almost got put out by Elvis Sinosic. Your account is pretty new, so if you don't know him, feel free to do a little school time homework. Anyway back to what I was saying; Up until he beat old man Anderson Silva and Luke Rockhold, call it lucky or not, the guy's had a pretty warm career. Then he fights Dan Henderson, who at one time was a great fighter himself but his best years were behind him. Henderson plods forward slowly and almost knocks him out again.
Was he really a strong champion? Was he a dominant fighter in his career?
You are a very deceitful poster.
Looked like a giant next to Bisping. Thats funny stuff. GSP was never going to go for a second run as Middleweight champion. If you bought into that. Thats on you. You got played. The guy is 37 years old. His legacy is set in stone. His career is coming to a close. If you thought it was anything more than a one off and that GSP was going to try and clean out the MW division, you're delusional.
So you admit he wasn't going to defend and he lied about it, yet you are willing to believe all his other stories? You have so much to learn about being gullible.
It's the equivalent of GSP fans telling me he's a genuine guy and that's why we should believe GSP about him telling us he's clean. The Rock is also a very charismatic and genuine guy. Should I believe him if he told me he doesn't do PEDS? Only a fool. Only a fool.
GSP has nothing left to accomplish at WW. He's done all that. He should pass up fighting Khabib or Conor fucking McGregor and being the first 3 division champion for fucking Tyron Woodley. <45> You're a funny guy.
Thanks. I am a funny guy.
