Media GSP represented all that was classy about the Mixed martial art sport.

Please look at this clip above, GSP incarnated what was good about this sport, being classy and acting as a gentleman. He was the stepping stone of this.

I still think, after two decades, him beating Hughes with that headkick, might be the best championship moment ever.

Kinda crazy if you think about it, but no matter how hard I try, there isn't a better moment.

I thought him making Hughes verbally tap was fitting to close out the trilogy. Pretty sure GSP would have snapped his arm if Hughes let go to tap. I struggle to think of other fights where the fight had no choice but to call uncle.

Penn quitting on the stool at that time was fucked. Never thought I'd see that either, that was kind of fucked.

The GOAT of mma in and out the octagon..nuff said

 

[Senbonzakura]

Best to ever do it, the complete package and brought more females to the sport than ever. I still look back fondly on the BBQ's and ladies that came thru for GSP ppvs. Our MJ forever

I totally forgot about the verbal tap lol. Never liked Hughes either.

It was so shocking....GSP in his prime was an absolute monster. In hindsight, if Penn stayed at LW and not move up and take damage like that, maybe he wouldn't have declined so much....

I don't really care about him wearing suits but definitely agree he took the sport to a whole new level of professionalism in the way that he trained, methodically and disciplined, and kept in top shape all year round.

 

[Fight Professor]

He was a true top athlete - skillful, respectful, great record, good longevity. But many of his fights were not as memorable vs fighters who are fighters first.

 

[MDoza]

Never moving up to challenge Anderson Silva was such a classy move

 

[Hdfi]

Absolute legend. His career and accomplishments have aged like wine.

 

[tritestill]

One of the GREATS without question

 

[Fact Checker]

Can’t imagine anyone being anything but humble after getting schlonged by Matt Serra…

 

[Bork Neslar]

There's nothing classy about MMA.

 

[Mynameisjeff]

Never moving up to challenge Anderson Silva was such a classy move

That doesn't even make sense...

 

[MDoza]

That doesn't even make sense...

Sure it does, he didn’t want to overshadow Anderson Silva, such a classy guy, totally not because he was a coward afraid to risk his legacy.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

My FAV mma moment.

 

[Jackonfire]

He was pampered
