We missed out on GSP vs. Conor

[Rockapotomuss]

For UFC 200, this was the fight to make. UFC never should have put Conor in with a bigger Nate, once RDA pulled out Conor should have been saved. GSP Conor would have generated enough money to buy out GSP's underawear contract and this fight would have been simply amazing. Two guys with the best striking ever to step into the octagon. Maybe Dana can make it happen for the new years card. If Conor beats Mayweather, then there won't be many big fights left for him and they'll have to unretire GSP.

Conor doesn't deserve to be in the octagon with GSP.

Does anyone think Conor has any chance at all against the true GOAT? How?

that's erroneous

If Conor beats Mayweather

leave

RIdiculous fight.

GSP would have tossed Conor around like a roofied prom date and we all would've had to endure "size" excuses and PED accusations from Conor fans for the rest of our lives. (ie: see BJ Penn fans)

Thank God for Nate

 

[Was at Pride GP 2000]

Conor obviously is not a great striker .
GSP would have taken him down at will and pounded him. I'm so glad they didn't waste our time with that fight

No one wanted to see that squash match anyway.

GSP a Natty 185lber trying to drop down and fight a 145lber ....that really takes some balls!

lol...

Sorry TS ...we didnt miss out on anything but a 5 round LnP Wrestlethon.




GSP should have manned up and took the Anderson Silva fight ...that's the fight everyone wanted to see.

Conor's post fight speech after getting finished by gsp in the first round:

"I took the change going to 170lbs, he actually probably weight in tonight at 190 lbs, I took the chance. He was really thick,solid,tight. I was so inefficient. But Like I said Im humble in victory or defeat"

Conor was supposed to call out GSP in the crowd after he beat Nate. Unfortunately for Dana White and the boyz, he got canned.

GSP wouldn't take the fight on short notice because a superfight like that needs time to promote.

This fight would have been the one time that I would have been happy to watch GSP do the blanket for 5 rounds ...

 

[faustian]

lol @ GSP vs Conar. GSP would humiliate Conar and I'm not even a GSP fan

 

[JohnyBrabo]

And we missed out on GSP coming back period thanks to Reebok

Wouldn't even be necessary baby

I have more respect for Conor then I ever did for GSP.

Conor had the balls to step up and take a fight with a much bigger Nate Diaz.


GSP always wanted to fight smaller guys like Penn, Serra,Sherk, and almost came back ...but only if he could fight a much much smaller McGregor.

GSP leaving the sport was "timely" ..and his push for more stringent drug testing was a facade ...suspect at best.

McGregor has that Bushido Spirit we loved about Pride Fighters and greats like Chuck Liddell....

GSP has that "Canadian Spirit"

do you realize how large GSP is? lol

Reason we missed out is cause Dana's Nate Diaz screw job backfired big time.

They felt Nate was going to lose & the ufc suits wanted Nate to lose then Conor was going to run over to Gsp in the front row then call him out. #setup

KING NATE KILLED THAT SHIT!! LOL Why do u think Dana jammed a Conor/Nate rematch down our throats? Holly didn't get a quickie rematch? Werdum of TJ didn't get a quickie rematch. Why did Conor? lol
