GSP is out!

IDK if anyone saw this yet but GSP looks likes hes out for a few months with a knee injury. I hope it gives Condit enough time to prepare so he can win!

Nick Diaz and BJ Penn are now the main event .... I hope Dana makes it a 5 round event.

Didn't see this coming (sarcasm). You don't pull a draw like Diaz off the main card (and put him on the undercard) for some tit for tat press conference. If it's that big of a deal you can his ass. That combined with the less than normal hype about the GSP fight and I knew this was going to get canceled a long time ago. Not buying it - :tinfoilhat:

Thing is, as a huge BJ fan I'm obviously going to be rooting for him on the 29th, but I know if he were to win and Dana put him up for next in line at a title shot that he wouldn't wait around. He hasn't fought since late February and by the time he steps in against Diaz, it'll have been just over 8 months since his last fight. He won't want to sit out for that period again just waiting for a title shot, he'll want to take a fight in between.

My question is: Who will it be? If Diaz were to win (which I'm thinking won't happen) he might sit out and wait for the shot, but knowing BJ he'll want another fight. Koscheck?

If Koscheck thinks he got dominated by GSP's jab lol is he in for an awakening.

You know now that u mention it is kinda weird. I could see GSP pulling this stunt because he didnt have time to "prepare" for Condit. I just wonder if the UFC was in on it too.

None of that helps him when he is flat on his back.

I do see GSP having the ability to take him down lay on him and hit him enough times to squeak out another decision.

No, and stop saying shit like "dare I say". His weakness is that he isn't a real fighter. He competes, he doesn't fight.

Wrong again. His job is to fight for "My" entertainment.

Professional athletes they will tell you point blank, the most important thing in this Sport is winning. Not the entertainment part which is actual detrimental at times. Until somebody can stuff GSP take down and knock him out he will remain champion.

Have you guys never played beat'em up video games? just one move will beat almost all the characters, except the end boss. Who knows the counter and fucks you up pretty quick. GSP will run into the boss sooner or later. Everybody runs into a boss sooner or later.

I agree that GSP will run into the boss sooner or later. But the winning and entertainment part i disagree with. I like seeing really good fight rather than seeing "my guy" win. Example the Leonard Garcia fight last weekend was great i would like to see all fights be that exciting. when fight are that exciting i dont care who wins i just enjoy seeing two guys hold nothing back. Unfortunately in my opinion we see too many guys hold a lot back

I can agree his fights haven't been as exciting lately, but as Chael Sonnen points out in a 5 round fight you have to pace yourself.... It would be different if he was barely squeaking out descisions in 3 round fights, but the ones he has are clearly dominant... Ask Kos ...
