Nah bro I don't give a shit what any of you thinks about me.
You give a shit what people think about your thread. They don't seem to care about your loaded question.

Why would you care what we think about the thread? We're just a bunch of 12 year olds and 30 year olds living in our mom's basement.

Call me crazy but maybe GSP is responsible for his success as a fighter. I don't know, I may be completely wrong.
I write stuff on sherdog when I am bored. Am I commiting a crime?
You're framing the question as an either or, when it's not. Typical shertard behavior.
He knows what I meant. In regards to his coaching. If GSP didn't have any coaches do you think he would be as successful?
Your political views have nothing to do with his question. OP, other than the obvious answers of himself and his parents, I would have to say Tristar.Obama would take credit
My counter would be that all that knowledge GSP uses in the cage is directly attributed to his coaches. Some fighters can follow the game plan to a t and some can't to save their life. GSP is one of those that can enforce the knowledge and gameplay that his coaches put in his brain.
You didn't really say anything counter to what I said, though. There are guys who can get the exact same training as GSP and not have even a quarter of the success GSP enjoys because they don't know how to properly implement that training. What makes GSP the GSP we know today, is GSP.
As far as who's more responsible on the training side, Tristar or Jackson's? Tristar. Considering he probably spends a good 80% of his time there, I don't see how any other answer could be valid.
GSP is a self made legend of the sport. If he finds a hole in his game, it's not enough to just work on it. He goes out of his way to train with guys whose strongest area is his weakest. Firas and Tristar have afforded him this opportunity, Jackson's has not. Prime example: where Jackson basically has Winklejohn as the lone striking coach, GSP has trained with Freddie Roach and Phil Nurse for his boxing and kickboxing. Just an example.
Part of GSP's success is that he travels constantly to improve different aspects of his game.
He has very close ties to Jackson's, however has fazed them out as a full training center more and more over the years. That is why he has such a good relationship with guys like Rashad, Marquardt etc.
Now most of his MMA prep happens at Tristar and there is a reason that he gave Firas his belt after the Condit victory.
My question is, which team, Jackson or Tristar?
