Jones doesn't need 25 minutes most of the time.
man you really are just desperate to drag GSP down any way you can aren't you?

How is it dragging on GSP to say that he needs 25 minutes to win a fight? It's a fact.
you were implying that GSP isn't a dominant champ because he didn't finish, which is pretty much as far from the truth as possible, finish or no finish.
and you still haven't rebutted my argument about Aldo. Aldo's dominated FW (and had his fair bit of finishes and landslide wins) yet, FW is routinely referenced as stacked
so what? A win is a win and both guys win convincingly.Jones doesn't need 25 minutes most of the time.
He is dominant, just not as dominant due to his lack of finishing ability.
FW was a bit barren for a moment. It is now just picking up steam with Cub, Mendes, and Lamas coming up to bat.
dont forget Condit was going KO GSP and be dangerous off his backhe's equally dominant, if not more dominant than any other current UFC champ, he makes his opponents look poor, like they never had a chance to begin with. Look as Koscheck, people were saying that he could have been the best wrestler in MMA, GSP made him look like a clown. People were saying that GSP would never be able to take down Alves, tat he would get lit up on the feet... Then he outstruck him easily and took him down at will. Diaz was going to outbox him, submit him and outcardio him, never happened.
FW's been good for a while. Aldo just finished the Zombie, according to your theory of finishing champs=weak divisions, FW Should be the weakest it's been in a while
LHW feels lackluster because all of the old vets are starting to go downhill and theres no new real killers, lots of close decisions indeed.

GSP also doesn't have a foot height and reach advantage over his opponents.

I don't know if anybody has been noticing the rapid decline of interest for the LHW, but one reason why I think the division is losing so much interest is because there has been a big lack of decisive wins / finishes lately among the top 10 of the division.
So far this year we've had:
Lyoto Machida vs. Dan Henderson.
Rashad Evans vs. Lil' Nog.
Phil Davis vs. Lyoto Machida.
Rashad Evans vs. Dan Henderson.
& just recently we've had the only interesting fight as of late in Glover vs. Ryan Bader.
The 4 aforementioned fights have all been lackluster fights in which all were controversial wins / losses, all those fights were some of the most heavily criticized fights this year.
Nobody has been trying to make a case / statement to prove they should be next in line for the title & it's saddening.
There hasn't been any new blood in the LHW division in a long time & it's sad because none of these so called prospects can penetrate the low tier fighters to earn a shot at the top 10 fighters & it's sad.
I hope the LHW division goes back to how it was back then when the belt was getting passed around like a slut at a college party but for now nobody is making a case for themselves in the division & as of now I've fully lost interest in the division.
So what happened in the Serra fight.
The Hippo knocking out Magalhaes was the highlight of the division for me.
Never heard that about Alves or Diaz. Diaz was handpicked by GSP and was a tailor made matchup for him, so that's just hilarious. GSP is dominant, but the fact that he can't finish any of his opponents certainly hurts his status as one of the most dominant.
Lol what?
GSP's reach = 76 in
Alves = 70 in
Shields = 72 in
Diaz = 76 in
Koscheck = 73 in
Hardy = 74 in
Penn = 70 in
Fitch = 74 in

A dominant champ makes divisions look weak. Lhw is suffering from this currently.
