GSP was afraid to break Dan Hardy’s arm

[Garnet_StrongerThanYou]

GSP had two fully locked in submissions here that he could
Have finished. This was an easy finish for GSP but you could see it was torturing him to cripple Dan Hardy.

do you see how he desperately looks at the referee hoping
That he’ll stop the fight? The idea of crippling Hardy hurts him. Who looks at the referee in the middle of a submission? Frank Mir Said he gladly breaks limbs in an mma fight.

GSP is merciful.

Edit: links were fixed

Hardy was a tough guy. Just happened to be finished in his next couple fights . Flukes.

Is there a picture here?

This site has been fucking up like the judges lately.
Twitter vids not playing, pics not loading.

sorry bud here it is. I saw this live and I’m a Jiu Jitsu guy. I’ve seen guys hesitate before in tournaments; and I’ve seen guys snap limbs in Free tournaments for nothing. GSP hesitated and didn’t finish out of compassion.

Some guys still have sportsmanship. They know they have it won and don't want to risk putting someone out for months or years to prove something. Glover/Smith .. DC/Silva ..Henderson/Bisping 1

Henderson/Bisping?

 

[loyalyolayal]

Proof that BJJ doesn't work.

 

[Benny Viper]

Well they don’t call him George Saint Pierre for nothing. Get it? Saint?

GSP is the GOAT nice guy as well

Maybe Hardy have one of those Vinny's type of joints

Henderson/Bisping?

Yea, Dan had to make sure Bisping didn't get up too fast and see those black spots. Chivalry

GSP was cranking that armbar dude. The problem is that he wasn't using his hips.

I think you're reading too much into it and making your own interpretation to try to say that GSP could have finished if he wanted to.

GsP didnt pinch the arm between his legs and apply the armbar correctly, it was a technical errror not mercy

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

He claims he was having trouble with the technical aspects of the submission.
(I had to find the clip, I remember him mentioning it but wasn't sure if it was for this fight)

 

[HHJ]

Lol he was def trying to finish it. He wasnt doing it right imo. You cant afford to have mercy like that. If the guy dont tap that is on him. Gsp ain't stupid. Given a chance hardy would break his opponents arm im sure.

 

[GSP1978]

Yeah this thread is stupid.

GSP didn't have the technique. It happens. He was great but not perfect.

He was asking his coaches post fight what he did wrong.

I find it amusing that GSP is retired and has fought once in 7 years and yet he is the main topic in 30% of Sherdog threads.

 

[TheSpider]

GSP wasn’t good enough to finish Dan Hardy. It’s that simple

Absolutely correct. See the attached video. His technique was incorrect.
