GSP gives a later, look back interview where he explains he was physically ill, and mentally he did not want to fight that night.
MMA striking ain't what it's cracked up to be. Wise move then.
This was sweet revenge... and masterfully done by GSP.
Suit up & glove up... we all can see that the UFC clearly needs you...
GSP beat him up so bad, he should have done better. That's the point.
Example:
It's easy to knock out Koscheck, if you try. It has nothing to do with Koscheck, feeling confident, throwing a stupid punch, and walking into Woodley's obvious bait and entire game plan, other, more intelligent fighters have completely neutralized since.
This guy, was clearly willing to do everything he had to do to win. He wasn't gunshy. He didn't call this the worse pain of his life. He wasn't afraid to risks. Look at his face. It's obvious, without watching, this guy put his life on the line and willing to do anything. GSP just didn't finish him, cuz he sucks. There first fight was a close 2-1 wrestling match, it's obvious GSP isn't that good. He beats up guys so easily, he should do better than he is.

Looked like a solid Penn JabAnd these GSP bashing threads are always made by the same 5 accounts; a ragtag bunch of former BJ Penn nuthuggers, and Anderson Silva fanboys who just can't accept that most people tend to rank GSP a bit higher than him P4P.
About the "most pathetic fanbase" thing, since it's what every single MMA fanbase ever has been called by sherdoggers, it doesn't mean much.
BJ Penn's hardcore nuthuggers became a running joke back in the days, and ever since this fanbase war has kept going...
It's like people from the right and the left calling each others triggered snowflakes, it doesn't mean anything anymore at this point.
The fight that defined GSP for me was the 3rd Hughes one... it really showed how much St-Pierre had evolved, beating his old rival, the former WW king, in a way that made Hughes look like he didn't belong in the cage with his anymore.
The second BJ Penn fight was also a beautiful beatdown, the kind that says "no need for a 3rd one"; making BJ quit on the stool after all the shit he had talked, that was such a pure, clean high.
Special mention for the Bisping fight; GSP put his legacy on the line with everything to lose, to move up in weight and fight the champion there, who had just beaten Anderson, Rockhold and Hendo.
Finished the bigger brit in exciting fashion, now that reminded me why GSP is such a legend.
(in my headcanon, Fedor and GSP are tied for the GOAT spot, 2 very special warriors)
Tss tss tss
Reminds me of when BJ Penn eye-poked GSP in their first fight
George's eye was completely fucked, he saw double and all.
Between eye poker and steroid cheats, poor Georges had his hands full during his reign.
He put in a striking clinic again Kos that 2nd fight. Why do you think he had only 1 good eye? It wasn’t pink eye. I never said standing toe to toe with Shields is “courageous”. You said that, not me.
