***gsp did press conferences for years and actually defended his belt***

[Headkicktoleg]

Even mentioning Conor in the same sentence with GSP is pathetic. GSP was the most mentally tough fighter in the UFC, Conor broke like a little girl after one loss.

GSP broke as soon as the UFC decided to go with a drug testing agency he didn't choose.

Gsp is the true goat king
And we all know it
Anyone who denies is a hater


Gsp bless
#returnoftheking

Only because he was the only thing to cheer about in a country that had PPV.

Ireland doesn't have PPV and Conor still does better PPV numbers.

Gsp drew a crowd everywhere he went

GSP also had boring press conferences and boring matches.

Doesn't diminish his dedication to training or his professionalism when it comes to promoting his fights.

 

[LiLoMMA]

I only sort of miss it.
On one hand, GSP is so nice, he is Holly Holm, just too nice to just hate...
but mang, the fights they put on after you tell people how sweet they are?!
I had one friend see the Shields fight and he has bothered to see 0 MMA fights since.
McGregor makes an impression

 

[billharford]

That's funny because GSP tapped in half a second with one second left on the clock.

That's all heart, baby. Lol

Guess you've never seen how fast Conor can tap. He's got GSP beat all to hell in that department

 

[MMAandBOXINGfan]

i like connor standing up for himself but bottom line it is his job. he has to do it. Its that simple. Pierre said the same thing, he hates diong it but he is a partner with the ufc and its part of his job obligation. marshawn lynch hated it but he had to be there.. these guys have a fucking media obligation like it or not. Me personally i hate it and would not want to do that shit. im shy as hell and hate big crowds, but if i knowingly sign up for it, how in the hell can i then turn around and bitch about it/?? lol i mean damn common

Funny gsp wanted to do drug testing and Hendricks backed out

Funny how Hendricks has had bad performances since that fight

It's fucking hard to be a champion.

 

[Irishwhiskey119]

And because he isn't a fowl mouth braggart, he only gets shit on around here.

Shit on by pussies who can't fight. lol

Doesn't mean anything.

Want to be champion

Want to be a pro

Look at gsp

Hear hear.

GSP only wanted to fight twice a year.

I said before (and was argued with) that Mcgregor's goal of fighting 4 times a year is unrealistic. And too much.

Magny, Cerrone and even Masvidal can fight 14 times in 3 years because those guys are not the center of media attention. They fly somewhat under the radar and can get away with it. Their burdens aren't as heavy.

Rousey and Mcgregor lived by the sword of the media. And not everyone is built to be a Kardashian.

I think you are exaggerating.

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Yeah and you left out...became a boring fighter, only fought 1-2 times a year and never moved up a weight class.

Conor has had the belt since december....4 months if he defends it within the next 8 he is on par with Aldo and GSP.

Broken arm is more costly than going to sleep

 

[billharford]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I really don't give a shit about GSP, I just hate Conor. There, I said it. Happy now?

 

[scorpipede]

Yet he was top dog and top draw

with class. I was always critical of his "safe" style but I always thought he was good for the sport and arguably top fighter in the roost.

Get your facts straight about Conor moving up

He is a natural lw ( fought at that weight class many times) Fighting another natural lw

Look at gsp

And walked away because he got tired of the bullshit and hasn't returned because he thinks UFC contracts are too restrictive ?

That's after years of dedication

He didn't use it as an excuse as to winning or losing like conor is using it
