I thought GSP looked alittle tired. I thought he was hurt in the 3rd, but not sure. He did keep looking at the clock. Thought that was strange.

He was sick before the fight.

****ing GSP... Living in this god damn country where EVERYONE wants to blow GSP just makes me cringe to go outside after he wins another boring decision. I'm pretty sure GSP's legacy as an MMA great is cemented, but what's also cemented is the fact that his legacy includes fights post-Serra where he can't seem to find the nuts to save his life to go out and try to finish someone.

Hendricks, please show him how.

Apparently he also had an Achilles Tendon Injury going into the fight.

It's kinda funny because Diaz usually spouts off on a long ramble that doesn't make much sense, but this time around, I kinda think he was on to something. GSP, making tons of money, can afford the best of everything while up and comers have to use what they have, which is usually a lot less. I know this is the case for just about every guy out there, but it's just one thing that made me think for a minute. But on the other hand, I don't buy that Diaz is broke like he says either.
So with all that being said, GSP with an injury, will still be better off than a good to go, up and comer.

By the way. The fight did not live up to anybodies expectations. To me personally, it was the let down of the year so far. I kinda felt the same way with Sonnen/Silva II. Everybody knew what was gonna happen. But when it did, it just wasn't all that spectacular.
On the flip side though. When I went to the next UFC event after that fight, I saw Chael up above doing his news thing. When suddenly I hear a fan yell out "Hey Chael!" Sonnen then turned his head with a half wave of his hand and a smile. The fan then said "Nice spinning back-fist......Oops!"
Chael just turned away with a semi defeated look on his face.

yeah gotta love arm-chair fans who probably couldnt beat up a doritos bag talking **** to pro fighters. wow that's so profound...

 

[Devil_666]

I think if Sonnen tried to beat up a doritos bag he'd end up tapping out.

 

[azurepred]

I think JBJ will end up subbing Sonnen btw.

 

[NASEDO]

I'm going with Jones by KO. Probably Round 1. I figure Chael is just showing up for the check. Once he gets hit he's going to quit. Pretend he's hurt bad, and ref will stop it.

Nick was 100% correct. They should adopt some of the Pride rules. No elbows on the ground and if there is no action stand them up and give warning cards.

The only rule from Pride that Nick wishes was adopted by MMA in North America is no drug testing.

Lol...I do miss that one...and soccer kicks....and knees on the ground.

 

[Devil_666]

Knees on the ground should definitely be adopted. But that's about it.
Yellow cards, soccer kicks + stomps, no elbows on the ground, nah.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah I would take knees to a grounded opponent over elbows any day. Soccer kicks will never be seen in the US so I dont care about that one. While sure it was exciting it'll never happen. As for yellow cards, I almost feel its all subjective to the ref. While not giving a yellow card the ref has the authority to stand up 2 opponents anytime he or she feels be it right or wrong.
