GSP was confused

[Dbreiden83080]

What is with all these GSP threads lately? Yeah he recently retired, but he basically did retire way back in 2013.. What am I missing??

Why take damage when you don’t have to?

 

[Dbreiden83080]

GSP was smart...

That’s why he had such an astounding career as a mixed martial artist.

BINGO!! Do we remember all the guys in the UFC that had that "War stand and bang" mentality? Nope. Why? Because they made about 10/10 a fight and maybe got the occasional FOTN bonus. Then Dana fired them..

Yeah I'm sure Conor made more money for doing it better with a couple of quick KO's into Aldo and Alvarez. No matter what losses Conor took, those two wins were electrifying and that's why he soared up to make more money than GSP.

That is 1 guy.. 1.. How many fighters did the UFC use up and spit out? GSP won in more ways than one..

That was his wrestling Gi and headband. Guy was a trendsetter.

Jon Jones has pretty good numbers cause he can finish people and is elite.

GSP is lucky, I honestly think his phony style if it happened in 2018 rather than like 07 would be like Tyron Woodley stinking up the joint with low views.

I've never seen before a thread like this concerning GSP....<{gspressed}>

GSP finished 14 of his 26 wins by KO/TKO or Submission. Including Hughes Twice, BJ Penn and Bisping… Not like he never finished anyone.. Jones just went to decision..

The Sherbros demand it..

 

[Azderiel]

Because he started Karate at age 7. Of course that's going to have a life long impact to a persons life and persona.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

He portrayed himself as the karate guy, always with a GI and a headband. This is him going to the cage

He even made a Japanese tattoo on his chest:

He used to run in the snow and scream: WAAAAAAAR




But once he stepped into that cage, he would go for the flying double under instantly:

and then lay n pray

He was a safe fighter, he won 50 rounds, never finishing a fight. He became the safest fighter of them all after he got KOd by Serra. Its all good though, but why do you think he likes to be viewed as a Bushido fighter, a Karate guy, when he was THE MMA resler?

Great post.

Plus he would say 'don't blink'.

He was confused about that too

 

[mmaknight]

So many mad, so many hurt.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Soooo many retard on this thread ....

when did he ever lay and pray? in the pic you used, he advanced position and had multiple sub attempts.

if you think every fighter isn't a safe fighter, you're fooling yourself

funny because it is true. People are looking back fondly at GPS's era, but those of us who were following the sport back then know the truth. George was boring, people used his fights as time to grab a beer. Serra beat the balls out of gsp

 

[chinarice]

Costume. This really isn’t that different than Hulk and Animal coming out with spiked shoulder pads on.

Hawk.... His name was Hawk.

Lol time to give you a lesson bud. GSP scored crazy finishes; thing is GSP fought number 1 ranked fighters again and again in their primes. Conor couldn't defend a title. These are just facts. Conor made his money, no doubt.. Don't forget GSP helped keep the sport mainstream before Conor's rise.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

He has a Karate background but decided he prefers to dry hump dudes.

 

[Draxton]

Karate was his original martial art and what ultimately introduced him to MMA. Styles aside, he was still a black belt in... Kyokushin?

3rd dan black belt in Kyokushin Karate[6]
1st degree[7] black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Bruno Fernandes[8]
Black belt in Gaidojutsu[9]
Black belt in Shidōkan[citation needed]
