IT'S TIME TO PICK A SIDE FRIENDS. NO MORE STRADDLING THE FENCE. FORGET THE BIPARTISAN BULLSHIT. FIGHTERS or ATHLETES. WHAT SIDE ARE YOU ON?

For in depth analysis of Athlete versus Fighter, please refer to the first post of MMA |OT2| - Thread of Athletes, Fighters, Personalities, and Sports Entertainment.

I've lost a shitload of fights, but guess what? I'm here. I'm here to fight because people know what they want to see. They want to see real skill level, they want to see real boxing, they want to see real traditional jiu-jitsu, they want to see it together and mixed up. They want to see mixed martial arts. They don't want to see five minutes of holding. I think that people should be point-deducted for it, or running away, or holding on. You should have to punch down or make action.


This is mixed martial arts ladies and gentlemen. This is some boring ass shit we're watching lately. We should see something new as far as I'm concerned.


I pulled up to a stoplight the other day, and some fucking 40-year-old lady, some soccer mom, sticks her head out the window and says, ‘I hope GSP beats your ass.’ We’re in fucking Lodi, bitch.

Everybody wants to be like GSP and overcome the technical aspect by being stronger and more explosive, and beating you to the punch in the scoring for five minutes. That’s not really what martial arts is about. This is MMA, and that’s what fans want to see. People want to see real skill level, real boxing and real jiu-jitsu mixed up. They don’t just want to see five minutes of holding. Get strong, forget about jiu jitsu. Forget about boxing. Let's do a superman punch like Georges. Fuck mixed martial arts.


I think he should just be himself and do his thing. I don’t know why he has to go to the dark side on this one. I don’t care. I’m not told about how they’re going to portray me or him. I’m not sitting around planning how I’m going to act or come off. Oh, I better say something intimidating or talk this shit or that shit. I don’t know what he’s going through with the dark side or where he’s coming from, but I know where the fuck I’m from. I don’t have to dredge up some bullshit to get everybody excited, but whatever. You gotta do what you gotta do

[TheKaeptain]

WAR GSP!!!

 

[billy beane]

209, we out here.

 

[charsace]

GSP by snuggle fuck decision. Then GSP can find a way to dodge Hendricks again and Maia too.

[~Devil Trigger~]

St Pierre buy whatever

 

[Skeyser]

I'm from Montreal and I want to see Diaz win

But I'm pretty sure GSP will hug him good.

 

[Heel]

Nick Diaz is the super hero coming in with the anti-bullshit for Georges apologists.

Credit to poly for creating the wonderful banner featured in the op. Much appreciated.

 

[TheChits]

GSP is going to body this fool

 

[charsace]

GSP is going to body this fool

lol

He's gonna win alright, by decision.

 

[TheKaeptain]

GSP by snuggle fuck decision. Then GSP can find a way to dodge Hendricks again and Maia too.

Hendricks is getting beat by Condit dude. Guy with shitty boxing that relies on a power left, no footwork, alright wrestling, and no head movement vs A guy with sweet footwork, head movement, nasty combos, and a good enough guard game to keep Johnny active.

 

[Gr1mLock]

The Romans want blood.

 

[Lambda Pie]

GSP vs Diaz is a 5 round UD.

Condit gonna dance around Hendricks for 3 rounds.

Anyone want to step up and pick GSP by anything other than a 25 minute decision?

Boogie had GSP by TKO in 4th against Condit, don't be scared homie.

 

[Maklershed]

fuuuuuck, i'll go with my original prediction.

first GSP stoppage in 5 years (i'm not counting BJ corner shenanigans), takedown into GnP, 2nd round.

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

yammy pls

It will be a good fight, but Big Rig is gonna win. Hendricks will KO him or grind him out.

 

[strikeselect]

GSP by baby leg kicks and holding Nick down for 5 rounds.

fuuuuuck, i'll go with my original prediction.

[op_ivy]

i cant wait for the inevitable diaz post fight cry fest.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

I like to see the Diaz's loose just for the tantrums.

 

[Heel]

I like to see the Diaz's loose just for the tantrums.

I'd love to see GSP win by boring decision just for the excuses.

 

[Macattk15]

GSP. That is all.

He always puts up entertaining fights when people talk shit about em.

I always knew you had weird fetishes, but damn...

 

[polyh3dron]

Time to bump some Deftones in honor of Nick:

[op_ivy]

looking forward to nick retiring (again)

 

[Vio-Lence]

He always puts up entertaining fights when people talk shit about em.

Who you crappin brah? The only guys with more decisions are Tito and Fitch.

 

[Chamber]

GSP wins, MMA-GAF cries, repeat in 5 months.

 

[polyh3dron]

GSP wins, MMA-GAF cries, repeat in 11 months.

Fixed. He won't fight again until 2014 Super Bowl Weekend card at the earliest.

Poor Johny.

 

[Chamber]

Condit is going to beat Hendricks, he's a non-issue.

GSP by snuggle fuck decision. Then GSP can find a way to dodge Hendricks again and Maia too.

I'm sure GSP is a terrified of a guy who got out wrestled by Rick Story.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

I'd love to see GSP win by boring decision just for the excuses.

Take your blood lust back to the 90's Just Bleed man, real connoisseurs enjoy displays of extreme athleticism.

If Joe Rogan has taught the uneducated layman masses anything, it's that holding people against the cage and on the ground is the base of MMA and takes extreme athleticism and stamina.

 

[Gr1mLock]

GSP wins, MMA-GAF cries, repeat in 5 months.

 

[Heel]

You sit there and you hump your opponent, and you say your lay and prayers, and it didn't get you anywhere! Talk about your athleticism, talk about technical fighting at 3:16 in the 5th round... Diaz 2:09 says Stockton, motherfucker. Stockton.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Athletism >>> Scrappin

 

[Lambda Pie]

people have the weirdest boner for K-1 Maia vs GSP.

 

[TheKaeptain]

GSP brought in Lucian Bute for this fight?

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

GSP brought in Lucian Bute for this fight?

I heard it was Kimbo, got that dark in is head. Plus Diaz said he's better than any boxer GSP has.

 

[TheNatural]

Sorry brah I am not impressed with your OP per-for-mance.

I'm not picking a side, I'm just going to sit back and watch the mayhem break out.
