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

[ChangeIsComing]

I think you are exaggerating.

GSP fought once 1-2 times a year....his last few years it was

Get your facts straight about Conor moving up

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

lol Nate used to fight at 170 and do very well, wasnt until he fought Rory he decided to cut. Both are big for their current divisions, Nate is definitely the bigger man though....if you cant plainly see that from watching them fight and stand side by side...you're facts are fucked up.

 

[ChangeIsComing]

That's after years of dedication

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

His dedication was to himself...not the fucking UFC, GSP's last few years were all about his legacy, which is why he never moved up...lacked the confidence.

 

[fighter1234]

maybe if he spent less time at press conferences and more time training he could've finished more fights

When you're constantly fighting good fighters that are bigger/same size, it's a lot harder to get finishes. How did Conor vs Nate go? Did he get the finish?

Nate had 4 fights at ww out of 29 fights

10 years fighting MMA v 8 years, plus Conor is 7 years younger.

Also said after the Serra fight, he lost because of a lack of focus.

I took a shit today.

 

[fatlipjesus]

GSP also had boring press conferences and boring matches.

I guess that depends who you're asking... a 15 year old that is impressed by shit talking or an adult that just wants to see who the best fighter is.

I was talking about the rigors of media and how bad it is for someone like McGregor.

Want to be champion

Want to be a pro

Look at gsp

Uh so did Anderson and countless others. You made this thread so you can rub one off to GSP

Nah, GSP was boring as fuck. I'll never forget how underwhelmed people were by the Shields fight... And Diaz fight.

Nope

Props to Anderson

I'm objective unlike yourself

 

[Redhawks100]

Nope

Props to Anderson

I'm objective unlike yourself

I can be objective as well

This thread would've worked better if you included the names of other champs that haven't pulled the bullshit that Conor has

Lots of people didn't find him boring... thats why he was the biggest star for years. Some people watch MMA to find out who the best fighter is. If I wanted to find out who the best talker is I'd watch politics or WWE or some shit.

 

[hashback*]

maybe if he spent less time at press conferences and more time training he could've finished more fights

 

[soulsstealer]

GSP also got out of the sport when usada came in.

 

[prikoke]

maybe if he spent less time at press conferences and more time training he could've finished more fights

Like Conor finished the Nate Diaz fight, right?

 

[SuperNerd]

How did you think this thread was going to go?

What a dipshit.

 

[cungfu]

So are GSP fans currently the most diehard fanbase on Sherdog?

 

[stressdesilets]

If GSP was American, the haters would still be chanting U S A from his Hendricks fight.
