GSP and the MW titleshot BS

[UFCFANDETROIT313]

I myself am a fan of GSP but all this bullshit is crazy...he should have to beat someone before getting a shot at the title...Should of been Romero vs Bisbing in July

GSP announcing his fight with Bisping and not actually fighting, when Bisping could fight someone else in the meantime, held up the division. I get it, the UFC ultimately makes the decisions but GSP had a part in this unless you are too retarded to understand something so simple.

I guess you can't read either. Micheal Bisping said he was injured and out until May. For the record it's May 6th. GSP announced his desired date to come back like last night.

Good luck buddah.

It sucks but WME is quickly telling you what's important to them.

Sure gsp accepted the situation and realized what he was going to do to the division. He did what he felt was best for him. Do you expect Gsp to respect the imaginary prestige of these belts when UFC/wme is clearly willing to pimp them and internim titles away at a whim?

They're probably going to toss out another interim title for Yoel and Anderson.

WME told you what they think of rankings and titles when they booked this, when they have aldo a belt, ect.

Why would gsp hestitate? Because the system is so honourable?

Then that's on the UFC and Micheal Bisping. GSP is under no obligation to fight sooner. He's looking out for his best interest. The show must go on with or without GSP. Micheal Bispings duty as champion is to defend. The UFC is responsible for growing this sport by balancing business and legitimacy. It's Micheal Bisping's fault if he doesn't want to defend in the meantime and it's the UFC's fault for allowing him to do it.

The question of course is whether GSP is only willing to fight Bisping or not, if so then he is partly responsible for holding up the division.

Whether GSP is only willing to fight Bisping FOR the MW title shot

I'm sorry but I can't say I agree with it, still. I would say he's partly to blame if he signed an official contact to fight Micheal in Oct and it's locking Micheal Bisping in for 6 months without a fight. Did GSP and Bisping sign a contract to fight in OCT?

I blame the UFC and Bisping more too. The MW division was being held up before GSP came into the picture. Bisping s last fight was vs Hendo. It's honestly on Bisping. He's been ducking the true MW contenders since he became champ

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

Now he is just completely unnecessarily holding up the division and probably won't even fight this year.

It blows my mind that someone that portrays himself in the manner GSP does, would be ok with the horseshit he is currently pulling.

I read your thread and saw nothing GSP is doing. The UFC and Bisping are holding things up, not GSP. GSP said months ago he would not be fighting until after the Summer sometime.

GSP said I will not fight until near the end of the year, the UFC and Bisping knew, they decided to hold things up. Bisping can sign to fight Romero at any time.

If they did then that is BISPING and the UFC holding things up. They could have not signed and had Bisping fight earlier.

And when I post GSP saying MONTHS ago he would not fight until after the Summer what then?

If these plebs were at work and their boss came up to them and said hey, this other person deserves the promotion more than you, but we are going to make them wait and give the promotion and a huge payday to you first anyways .. would any of them say no? Of course not.

As anyone who has seen my posts before in GSP threads know I am a big GSP fan. I've defended him countless times against therassler and Toner who constantly sling shit at him but this return to fight Bisping for the MW title is complete bullshit.

He announced his comeback and gets a gift MW titleshot but isn't going to fight until after October? Pretty sure Bisping could have fought the rightful number one contender who I despise, Mr Cheaty Cheaterton himself.

I am 100% certain he wouldn't be fighting in the MW division if Romero, Weidman, Rockhold, Jacare, etc were currently holding the belt.

Now he is just completely unnecessarily holding up the division and probably won't even fight this year.

It blows my mind that someone that portrays himself in the manner GSP does, would be ok with the horseshit he is currently pulling.

I call it like I see it, regardless of how much of a fan of the person I may be but I absolutely cannot defend bullshit like this.

Fuck everyone that had any part in this circus matchmaking process.

P.S. still a GSP fan

For sure. And all the rumours are he'll vacate if he beats Bisping anyways. Bullshit fight.

So why did GSP announce his comeback to fight Bisping if there would be ample time for Bisping to fight someone else before October?

GSP is a little fo blame here.

Most of the blame is on the idiots that run the UFC and the MW champion ducker but I cannot absolve GSP of having nothing to do with this horseshit.

I am positive he won't defend the belt, which is going to just cause more of a shitshow.

I am not convinced he will beat Bisping though, although he is obviously very confident he will.

He did no such thing. He said he was coming back. Bisping was a fight he was interested in. He did not come back specifically for Bisping. MONTHS ago GSP said he was not fighting until after the Summer. Bisping said GSP has to fight before that or he will fight Romero. GSP said after Summer. Bisping said ok I will wait.

I think he will lose, he is way too small at MW, he has no business there. His skill level is so far beyond Bisping is the only reason he has any chance at all, but in the end I expect the size to be a much bigger factor.

He doesn't even deserve the shot. He hasn't fought in years and his last fight, he arguably lost.

Again, I am not solely placing blame on GSP for this but I absolutely will not say he had nothing to do with this bs either.

He only wanted a MW shot because of who the champ is. He wouldn't be fighting the MW champ if it was anyone else.

You can say it's about who will make him the most money but I am positive it is just as much who is the lowest risk highest reward in his mind. We can agree to disagree on the subject.

 

[Davem10]

I'm with you. I'm a GSP fan but gifting him a MW title shot is a crock.

Thing is he doesnt want a middleweight title shot

He wants a Bisping title shot

Bisping should obviously fight Romero as GSP wants to fight in a MINIMUM of 5 months from now

Then give him his middleweight title shot, can guarantee if Yoel crushes Bisping, GSP will suddenly decide he cant add the weight correctly and is going back to 170

If anyone deserves it then it's GSP. No one is more deserving. With that said I want Yoel to fight Bisping.

GSP had nothing to do with it. It's literally impossible. He has zero control here, zero.

He is getting a titleshot in a weightclass he has zero fights in, having not fought in like 4 years.... He has no control? I beg to differ.
