If Johny loses, he can finally get his title shot.
Ellenberger is more dangerous than Hendricks... believe it homey.
A lot of you are so certain that GSP can avoid Hendricks left hand for 5 rounds......he couldn't defend a slow left high kick from Condit............you put too much faith in his striking defense.
This is just a stupid statement. The only thing that Ellenberger has an advantage over GSP in is punching power. And he was too tentative to use it against Heiron.
It's true, it's DAMN true. When is the last time GSP finished a fight? Compared to the last time Ellenberger finished fights?
Exactly. I know MMA math isn't always the greatest but look what Ellenberger did to Jake Shields in 1 round compared to what it took GSP to do in 5 rounds.
He's absolutely right.
Ellenberger has big power, he can knock you out fast in wild exchanges.
GSP doesn't have that power.....so he has to take Hendricks down for 5 rounds......Hendricks is a 2 time NCAA Div 1 champion, 4 time all american etc etc.
GSP won't actually be able to keep Hendricks down.....and Hendricks can knock him out, really quite easily.
Ellenberger is the harder fight.
oh johny.... that's just embarrassing
we all know you're very.... emotional
and clearly you're trying to lash out at those that have made you so very... upset
but please lol, don't embarrass yourself like this. Just stay quiet. It's for the best.
You obviously didn't see Johny fight Rick Story. Story clearly outwrestled him and swarmed him against the cage.
He only got 2 out of his 6 TD attempts on Koscheck and got taken down by him.
His wrestling isn't nearly as good as people hype it up to be, sometimes being a great college wrestler doesn't translate into being a great MMA wrestler.
Ellenberger may have big power, but he has a limited gas tank.
Hendricks does not deal well with people who pressure him, and GSP can absolutely do that for 5 rounds without stopping. Outside of the first round, Hendricks becomes far less dangerous as his looping left hands become increasingly slower, less powerful and far more telegraphed (see Kos-Hendricks).
And GSP has kept down great wrestlers before, and he can certainly do it to Hendricks.
Also, with the right footwork, positioning and strategy, Johny cannot knock out GSP "easily". Johny would just spam left hands and takedowns to no avail.
