I am excited about seeing any Condit and Diaz fight, GSP included. Also, despite the rehab and layoff, GSP is likely a heavy favorite over any previously mentioned WW's.
As far as a fight w/ Silva goes, I don't think GSP would be nearly as worried about Silva coming down to meet him vs him bumping up a weight class.
Feeling sorry for a guy that owns his division in a professional sport, is wealthy and looks like an underwear model, is ludicrous.
I'm actually somewhat excited for the GSP/Condit fight just to see what kind of 'game plans' they both come in with and how it all plays out. If it's really boring, the fans are gonna be crying for blood! On the other hand they both have a chance to throw down and silence their respective critics.
No one in the UFC welterweight division is afraid of Nick Diaz. If Diaz actually has to work his way through the top of the division for a title shot, he will never get one. Too many good wrestlers.
hmb - GSP has the hardest job in all of mma. His division is stacked, and fans are calling for him to fight Anderson, or his legacy is tarnished. GSP is noticably shaken by the thought of fighting AS.
I can't help but laugh at this guys string on bad luck. It's so bad, it's funny.
1. Has Diaz fight blow up in his face.
2. Gets hurt badly.
3. Conduit gets interim and title shot but GSP/fans could care less.
4. Diaz, his nemesis, retires.
5. Patiently rehabs only to come back to a Conduit fight that no one is excited about, except Conduit+friends/family.
6. Diaz calls out Anderson, making GSP look silly.
7. Anderson says, fuck Diaz, I'll drop to 170 and fight GSP.
SO basically, this guy comes back from retirement and has to fight Conduit, Diaz, and Anderson Silva.
Imagine sitting in your bed with ice on your knee while all this happens. He's so fucked, if not in the ring, mentally he must be dreading his return.
FLAME AWAY. I can only imagine this is wearing on the guy. People are just gunning him down and he is injured.
When things suck bad and you're at rock bottom, the best you can do is LOL! and wait for things to move the other direction.
Join me in LOL @ GSP. Can't wait to see this return. It will bring some excitement back to UFC for me.
To be the champion as long as GSP has, in the best division in MMA, shows he has the mental strength to deal with all the setbacks.
Difficult road for him recently yes, but he will be back and you won't be laughing anymore when he breaks down Condit, Silva and Diaz one by one.
You will be forced to call him the greatest to ever compete.
Basically the guy has the longest knee injury recover in the history of sports, then comes out saying he lost the drive.
WHAT!! WAIT WHAT!
Dude, you did not retire, you did not lose, you had an injury, and parlayed it into a vacation. Now it's been so long he forgot why he stopped fighting, and is basically saying, I didn't want to come back, I was not motivated. WOW.
To me that says he is scared of one thing, well maybe two. Nick Diaz and Anderson Silva. It was the progression that was to follow. What a bitch made faggot GSP is. He truly does not want to be a fighter.
