When GSP beat Hendricks :

[DS7]

Even when GSP isn't mentioned in a Hendricks conversation, GSP Fanboys get insecure and make steroid accusations. The fight was so many years ago, yet GSP Fans seem to get triggered by the name Hendricks

no matter how you scored the fight this is so true. GSP fans talking about Hendricks and roids like its a fact its pathetic and hilarious at the same time.

Anderson lost to two small japanese journeyman in his prime.

The Jonathan goulet of sherdog is back to get KO'd yet again...

Dude that was not Anderson prime. In his prime he decimated every mw and several lhws. Maybe you missed his record title.defenses or his absolute destruction of former lhw champ Forrest Griffin as well as pre machinist James Irvin and the always durable Stephan Bonnar.

Look I don't get on Georges for picking on the Ivan menjivars of the world because that was before his prime. Georges' prime had a ton of title fight decisions and included a matt Hughes destruction of him and getting KO'd into Bolivia by a journeyman LW who had absolutely no business in a title fight.

GSP tapped to strikes to a small journeyman and battered into retirement by Hendricks in his prime.

Also.a huge difference is that yes ryo chonnan is known for that insane submission, probably top 10 sub in the history of the sport but Anderson didn't make him a champion. Georges st Pierre made matt serra a legend and a champion. He immortalised a .500 fighter in his very first title defense. How do you compare a fluke sub that probably would.have caught Marcelo Garcia on most nights compared to getting flat lined by a LW journeyman in your very first title defense. How on earth do they not see that as a huge flaw in his goat case.

It's not comparable.

When Anderson reached his prime, nobody was at his level.

GSP was in the mix, always thin margin ahead of a mediocre competition.

But there are scorecards and rules.

Your perspective doesn't really matter. Scoring the points and awarding the W to the worthy competitor is how
the UFC has chosen to go by with it.

The rest is play on words: "play" vs "fight" and so on.

Actually my perspective does matter. This is why I understand and accept decisions for what they are.

It's actually your "whining about the scoring" that doesn't matter. It indicates you have no clue "why" GSP beat Hendricks and "why" Jon Jones beat Reyes.

I know why, and I told you.

That was before his prime you adorable house-troll.

 

[TheAlliance]

Dana: never leave it in the hands of the judges.

Rick Flair: To be the man, you’ve got to beat the man.

 

[bjpenngoat]

How many ppvs went past 1am est when Georges was fighting because it always reached the end of.the 5th round.

Nope, your perspective does not matter.

It's like, your opinion man.

I know why GSP was awarded the victory. It was a robbery. Full stop.

 

[Call-of-Cthulhu]

You're the winner, you've had the last word.

Maybe one guy on sherdog has at least attempted to justify the pedestrian record of Georges. Everyone else who is in the gsp goat zombie line has yet to constructively analyze the line of .500 and pedestrian fighters that had title shots at ww.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Yes. I think when the champion dominates the last two rounds, the judges are going to give the champion the last two rounds, as they should, and then they decide which round they are gonna take away from the pretender-contender, who faded in the end.

Why do you think judges scorecards are never shown?
So they can make changes in favor of the champion, precisely for occasions like this, when a contender did well early, but falls apart in the end.

Not saying it's fair, but it's the way it goes.

They don’t show the cards but I think the judges are required to put the score down at the end of each round. That way it is fresh in their mind when they write down the number. I’m pretty sure that’s the deal.

Were you not held enough as a child or is daily life simply wearing you down???

Anderson lost to two small japanese journeyman in his prime.

And past his prime lost to the 1 eyed MW GSP cherry picked past his own prime right @TheSpider

I mean who loses to the 1 eyed MW?

What more do you need to know about this kind of poster? He wants to present his opinion as a fact, and readily dismisses the opinion of others. What's even the point of coming to a public forum? All they want is an echo chamber.

FYI Ryo Chonan was an undersized journeyman WW with a pedestrian 22-13 record against mostly pedestrian talent with a few "names" occasionally sprinkled-in who recorded only one submission victory during his entire 35 fight career. He was not a submission or grappling expert by any stretch of the imagination. Common opponent with GSP = Karo Parisyan. GSP beat KP, Chonan lost to KP. Chonan lost to TJ Grant (UFC LW/WW). Chonan got KO'd in R1 by Dan Henderson and Phil Baroni. Chonan didn't even make it to the 90 second mark vs. Baroni...

Anderson wasn't in his prime at 28 years old, so it was okay to lose to a can. I mean, he had around 15 fights at that point and had been fighting at a professional level for nearly 5 years, but he just wasn't in his prime yet. His prime magically started after he had to move up to middleweight for some reason...

Yup, only losses as a champ count. When you're not the champ you can lose whenever you want, it just doesn't count.
