Greg Savage, who works for Sherdog, spoke with John Danaher today and Danaher told him most of Georges coaches believe Diaz Beat Condit. He said they think GSP has to beat Diaz in order to Validate the belt. John Danaher said Hendricks is a good fighter and has done everything imaginable to earn a shot but they want Diaz first.
Gregg said he called him out by saying Diaz is the easier fight for Georges but Danaher disagreed.

BoilerBrawnByBeatdown - lol, so one person told someone who was told by someone else.
Thats usually how reporting is done. Whats your point? You doubt Greg Savage? You dont believe Danaher said that? IS Danaher lying on Zahabi?
After Condit vs. Diaz GSP was very uncomfortable when asked who he thought won. It doesnt shock me they believe Condit lost.
Styles make fights that is for sure.
Hendricks has big power but not really much else. He reminds me of Liddell in that he is a wrestler but more known for his ability to end it with one shot.
I think Diaz is the more difficult fight mostly because he has more weapons and way better cardio. I'm not trying to use mma math but looking at how Hemdricks looked against Kos compared to how GSP looked, I'd say GSP makes Hendricks look like he did Kos.
Yes I know Fitch got dropped by Hendricks quick but that show how he can handle a tough fight. But you never know what will happen. Hendricks is legit for sure!
I'm pumped for GSP vs Diaz though! Winner will fight Hendricks.
GSP's coaches were correct.
Bullshit, GSP was ALWAYS pilullj
That fight was so close, but Condit did not do enough for the win, and the judges scoring was absolutely retarded. Doesnt matter now though, Condit had a year to prepare and failed as predicted. Lets see what Diaz can do :)
pilullj?
I think GSP's coaches are just saying what they need to say to get and justify the fight they want. There was footage of GSP sitting ringside during the Condit/Diaz fight. At ringside, GDP scored round 1 for Condit. Almost everyone agrees that Condit won rounds 3 and 4. Round 1 was very close and up for debate. If GSP thought Condit won round 1, that means he thought Carlos won the fight.

He thought it was close when it was live and was dissapointed at the decision but I bet when he got home and saw it again he saw that diaz won. Same thing happened with rogan, he thought condit won when he was their and then went home and chnaged his mind and gave nick the win.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I just never heard that GSP reversed his view. I still think they are changing their tune now to get what they want, which is fine as I want to see the fight with Diaz happen.
gsp's coaches mentally reinforce whatever falsities or truths or exaggerrations about gsp's next upcoming challenge and hype them up so that george can continue to pay for their services by winning and taking the fights ultra seriously
Sure, because it's convenient for them to pick the big $$$ fight.
GayGuardMooseSaucy - Bullshit, GSP was ALWAYS pilullj
That meets their naked???
WAR PILULLJ?
Well duh
Even if they are saying it. It is because they want to justify Diaz as a legit threat.
savage043 -GayGuardMooseSaucy - Bullshit, GSP was ALWAYS pilulljThat meets their naked???
Lol fell asleep in the middle of typing.
I was trying to say is that GSP always wanted this fight with Diaz because its an easier fight. Diaz wants this because he wants his million dollar payday. Dana wants this fight because its a big money fight. The fight makes sense for everyone except Hendricks
What I was trying to say was that if I didn't fall asleep, pilullj.
And even if I had stayed awake and was fully aware of what was going on around me:
pilullj
I mean seriously bros, do you even pilullj?
pilullj indeed.
War pilullj bitches!
It says what Georg's COACHES said... not what George said...
ManWithTheIronFists - Well obviously they wouldn't say Diaz is the easier fight, but we all know it is the easier fight. They can't say yeah it's the easier fight because it'd be bad business practice. They will say whatever it takes to make this fight seem appropriate.
