Eddie's post-GSP/Diaz advice via Twitter/PLSU Snow Patrol!

My theory on how to beat GSP is to plan on working from your back for the first three rounds and make him pay for it. Like someone said, GSP hates getting hit. All pretty boys do. No offense you you handsome devils on here, but it's true. But I don't mean Thai style elbows. And I don't mean the downward elbows to the crown of the head either. I mean downward elbows to the face. Guys need to try to cut GSP. GSP doesn't like to be the only one bleeding. If someone would just slice his face up from guard for the first 3 rounds, GSP wouldn't want to go to the ground anymore. A striker could try to outstrike him. A grappler could try to take it back down.

And even with that strategy, GSP would figure out a way to win 3/5 times. He's just that good.

What Diaz was doing was more of a butterfly recovery than a gogo attempt. A couple of people might just gogo themselves while he tries it.

That's probably accurate.

i think a few of the attmepts were gogos, i remember seeing a youtube video of one of the diaz brothers showing how to do a gogo and it looked similar to that. i think in the third or fourth round he definitly brought his foot around.

im not a pro with rolling into leg locks but it really did seem like nick didnt try much. this is the guy with apparently the best cardio in ufc and he didnt keep an amazingly high pace standing up and spent most of his time in turtle when on the ground. seemed weird to me. lik he wasnt feeling good or something.

i reckon if he had done a flying gogo with a double bagger he wouldve gotten gsp. atleast into a bad situation.

ah well gsp just shuts down anyones game. lets see what hendrick can do.

btw i agree with diaz about the rules suiting wrestlers a lot. if a guys got you in his guard that usually mean you are being controlled even if he is technically in the worse position. who did more damage while on the ground in the condit, hendriks fight? it was condit from his guard. i think thats what should have been counted, it says points are given for grappling, effective/significant strikes and octagon control. atleast in the condit, hendriks fight, both got big shots on each other, i would have said condit was getting the better of it near the end. and grappling, well if it was a bjj match condit would kill hendrik i think. and octagon control well, it was a pretty fluid fight but as much as hendriks was in the middle and condit on the outside, anytime hendriks got condit down, he jsut elbowed a few times and seemed to stand up almost any time he wanted to.

i think an update in the rules could be good for the ufc as a company and mma as a sport
