Much has been said, I know.
And it is not that the video contains any new information on the subject.
but I do understand his point of view.
1) GSP can't fight all 3 guys.
2) Diaz - This fight makes sense NOW. God knows if Diaz would win his next fight, and then Zuffa would have lost a chance at the biggest fight GSP could be involved without going up in weight.
3) Hendricks - While I don't like GSP giving an excuse of Kos fight, it has some truth in it.
Overall, the thing is: If Hendricks is that good, he will win his next fight and maintain his status. If he's not, then there's no real point in talking like he could be the champ. I mean, that would only mean that hendricks would fight GSP, and even if he pulled that win, he'd lose his next fight against top competition, right?
4) Silva - While I personally don't agree with this "if I go up I'll stay up" excuse, I am not about to bash him for that. The time is right for Silva. But obviously it is not that pressing for GSP; and the more he waits, it's a win-win situation. If Silva loses, this (bad matchup fight) would go away. if not, Siva will be older and older, thus making this fight somewhat easier for GSP.
Thoughts?
