Why didn't Georges St-Pierre fight like he did with Jon Fitch more?

[Ser das Trevas]

Completely dominant on the feet and on the ground, very exciting.

 

[AmericanMMA]

Because he turned into a point fighting coward

 

[B-Level]

Gsp fought a lot of one-dimensional guys. He’s lucky he didnt have to defend against guys like Belal, prime Colby/usman/leon

 

[Flower2dPeople]

GSP just really hates vegans.

 

[ryanrandy]

Fitch had 0 advantages over GSP. He could do whatever he wanted without a threat.

 

[blaseblase]

He knew Fitch had nothing for him on the feet so he could be more aggressive.

Most ufc long time champs are point fighters.

 

[RockyLockridge]

A lot of GSP's fights are entertaining during his title reign. We call those fights boring back then but the truth is we were spoiled.

Much like we were with mighty mouse.

It seems from watching his fights he lost a lot of his athletic abillities after his second knee surgery. he was a different fighter after that.

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

With each fight and title defense the stakes get higher and the pressure rises. Champions start fighting not to lose more so than to win. Look at Izzy when he fought Gastelum compared to the guy who fought Romero. Two differnt animals.

Which ones did we call boring that were actually exciting?

 

[surgeyou1]

Fitch has zero threat to finish him.

Nah a lot of them were ass. He would just lay in full guard for most of the fight.

Fitch
Koscheck II
Hardy
Condit
Alvez
Diaz

all of these fights are more "entertaining" (I never exactly used the word exciting, as i feel there is a distinction to be made there) than many of the title fights we've seen today in modern times people went on and on and on about how boring gsp fights are, but these are in my opinion about as good as the average title fight today.

 

[EndlessCritic]

Because Fitch was a wrestler, so it made more sense for GSP to beat him up on the feet.

This. Same with Koschek.

Also WAR GSP, just wanted to get that out there.

 

[laleggenda27]

I realize the Fitch fight was after this, but GSP became much more calculated after the first Serra and BJ fights.

 

[McGeezle]

Well wtf was fitch gonna do to him on the feet really

 

[Lycandroid]

Because he only fought Fitch one time. GSP always had the perfect game plan for everyone and this was the result for Fitch. Can't fight that way against everyone.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Shook from "To the Death Georges" ?

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Considering what we know about Fitch now, how emasculating was this fight for him? "I got my ass kicked by an effeminate beta nerd..."
