GSP was confused

[PastOfPrime]

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?

He payed respect to his original background , just like modern day "macedonians" should pay credit to their bulgarian and albanian true roots .

 

[dc007]

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

And BJJ and credits his great wrestling to his karate background.

 

[bjpenngoat]

Yeah, BJ got beat by both versions.

Another sensitive gsp revisionist out here bringing up bj Penn when he wasn't even mentioned.

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

Hawk?

Silva , muay thai striker and jiujitsu

Gsp- Karate ,mauy thai,wrestling , jiujitsu

You sure about that?

Yeah. Silva scored a KO with each one of his limbs and has as much submission wins as GSP does, despite being primarily a striker. Not only that, but he has that "any time, any where mentality", went many times up in weight, including against 40 lbs heavier DC).

The Spider also genuinely loves fighting, hence he is still fighting up to this age, unlike the Canadian who retired early after a difficult matchup

just facts

The Canadian planned to retire since build up to the Condit fight . After he beat the last highed ranked contender Hendricks he decided it was a good time to retire.
You are a known shill but you also should acknowledge that GSP is a way more skilled fighter than the proven cheater Anderson.

 

[bjpenngoat]

Before that amazing Dan hardy title fight, in which Georges utilized his bjj to search for a kimura for 4 rounds, Dan said that just because Georges walks to the cage in his pajamas doesn't mean that he's a martial artist. I have to agree with that one.

 

[bjpenngoat]

Anderson Silva at 44 is fighting top 2 opponents while Georges at 36 is waiting till cejudo moves up to ww and get the belt.

 

[Thorgrim]

He attributes his double leg to karate footwork. He sets it up and steps in like a karate guy, not a wrestler.

 

[aali14]

I understand it sucks that he's the undisputed Goat and not someone you're a fan of TS

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Non of that..has to do with being more of a mix martial artist tho...

Silva had two main disciplines to his credit and his weakest area turned out to be GSPs strongest..

GSP was more well rounded then silva...

End of story

 

[olimpicus]

Superman jab
Bisping TKO leading to RNC

GSP is a great striker

 

[The8Trifecta]

Light bulb moment for you: GSP applied his Karate (timing, blitzing, etc) to wrestling and that’s what made him an incredible takedown artist. Karate isn’t just strikes, it’s movement as well. Sources: GSP documentaries Striking Truth, DNA of GSP, etc.
