On post fight show!
HARDCORE FOR HARDCORE
Didn't he have a knee surgery which was why he was out for all of 2012?

Yes, he injured his acl.

Willy the Coyote - Shogun syndrome
Nooooooooooooooooooooo
Yeah I saw that. Huge bummer.
At least he doesn't rely on kicks as much as Shogun...otherwise you'd be afraid Gegard had already passed the prime of his career because of injury.
But Gegard isn't a footwork-heavy fighter like a Gus, he's more flat-footed, and he doesn't kick that much. So he can recover.
It blows that he's going to be out yet again for so long. Especially because in his late 20's, he should be in the physical prime of his career right now.
Someone at the presser just asked Gegard about his knee. He was being very coy about it but said that he thought that 95% of fighters would've pulled out. Wouldn't say much more than that other than the fact that it was "nothing small".
interesting info that explains alot
glad he didnt fight gusta all screwed up like that
Great.
He said 95% of fighters could not of fought with the injury, looked pissed off Alex pulled out with cut.
Seemed fine until he ate a massive leg kick and began moving funny...
Don't wanna hate, but honestly I'm getting a bit tired of Gegard's excuses against guys he supposedly should beat without much trouble. There's always a reason to why he didn't perform and he's not a very gracious winner and an even worse loser. Like, just get on with it and stop making excuses already because that's what all the guys who are above you in the rankings are doing. The path Gegard is down looks more like downslide Rampage than future world champ.
SimonSu -Dude he trained for someone completely different, and still controlled his opponent with ease.

The guy you quoted almost went full you-know-what.
Was an easy win for Gegard, just like Jardine should have been if the judging/reffing hadn't been so embarrassing.
Gegard took the GSP jabfucking take-no-risks approach. Can't blame him, especially if he does need knee surgery.
Even then his performance hardly needed excuses - he was basically in sparring mode, yet still beat the crap out of his opponent and hamburgered his face.
Noooooooooooooooooooo, hope it's minor, damn..he's still young.

It's just frustrating that he wont accept responsibility and improve. I've been a fan since the Manhoef fight back '08 and the toolset hasn't changed any since then.
what excuse did he make Simon?

How do you know he doesn't take responsibility. The truth is that you're nothing but a scrub behind the refuge of your keyboard and you'll just always be that guy on the sidelines because you don't have what it takes
Mousasi is a warrior. I get sick of people licking BJ's nuts and calling him a warrior for going up in weight and losing and then making an avalanche of bs excuses. He tests himself more than any of fighter out there (K-1, open weight bouts, tournaments, fighting legit hurt, fighting upwards of 6x a year). Hope he heals up soon and gets the fights he deserves
