Were you annoyed when Diaz got the titleshot over Hendricks?

[Gatts]

GSP was the lineal Strikeforce champion at the time of the fight

Lineal champs are just discussed with us fans and for a reason.

And no, didn't bother me.

 

[Exarch01]

A little, only because I thought it was pretty clear Diaz didn't have a chance. His best wins were against way-over-the-hill BJ Penn and Frank Shamrock, and Condit embarrassed him in his previous fight.

Hmm didnt expect alot of you to be cool with it.

We all knew what would happen in that fight. The buildup was fun but that's it. You really think Diaz would sub GSP from his back? Lol.

U cant be cool with that and then say UFC is a joke for booking hendricks/lawler 3 or conor/aldo. Thats just hypocritical. Dana thinks fight fans are ignorant and you give him reason to.

Yes i take it very serious when ufc fucks with title fights. But then again, who the fuck am i

 

[jlazer]

Great champion! But

Anderson>GSP on da GOAT list

Nah. Has more wins and finishes but MUCH weaker competition and 3X as many losses.

 

[Killer ofTrolls]

Audience(In a very clear loud voice): FUCK YOU DIAZ *WWE clap*
Joe Rogan(in an attempt to cover up): I have no idea what they're cheering right now.

Riiiight Joe

I didn't mind it really, because we knew gsp would win and Hendricks would earn his shot.

 

[GSPenn1991]

I knew he would get his shot and would choke. Happy to see the judges went in his favor for once. Hendricks always gets bs decisions

 

[Redhawks100]

Remember guys, it's okay for GSP to handpick fights. Even if its a guy coming off of a loss.

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

Hendricks needed one more big win, which he got, and Diaz was in a now or never situation that the fans wanted, and was big money for all involved.

Did Diaz earn it? No. Did it make sense? Yes.

Every party involved won.

 

[Redhawks100]

Nope. I thought Diaz beat Condit and I like to watch Diaz fight and was interested to see how GSP would handle Diaz's in fight trash talk and gas tank.

GSP handled it fine btw

Damn, GSP fans are weird.

No. It didn't make sense, actually. It almost never makes sense for a guy to get a title shot coming off of a loss and without a top win in his division in years.

If Anderson had fought Bisping over Weidman for a 'money fight', you really think Sherdog would be okay with it? :icon_lol:

 

[iboufring**]

I didn't mind really, because we knew gsp would win and Hendricks would earn his shot.

Who is we? Condit was a very risky fight for Johny.

 

[Break Brick]

Nope. It was hilarious at the time though, there were plenty of posters getting their panties seriously bunched over it. Particularly because of the loss, no show and suspension. Good times

 

[mikekoz68]

Damn, GSP fans are weird.

I'm not getting this post at all. What is weird about wanting to see how GSP would handle trash talking and a fighter with a huge gas tank?

 

[swole420]

GSP also thought Diaz got robbed vs Condit. It's in the documentary they made about him.

 

[Maori]

Nick moves the needle

 

[Shocktagon]

I was annoyed but shit happens when it comes to UFC title shots, so I got over it pretty quick.

 

[MartyMcFry]

Yes, I find GSP very annoying.

 

[Serana]

I remember it being pretty unfair. Dude was on a pretty good tear of the division. Luckily he was eventually able to get a shot.

 

[Yolandabecool**]

Yes and no. I like to watch Diaz fight. His pre fight 'talk' is entertaining BUT
