I just don't see how anyone can find his strategic striking style boring. I appreciate that aspect of MMA. He did the same thing Condit did to Diaz and it was brilliant. Now boring would be watching Evans or Fitch lay and pray for 3 rounds. |

Anyone watching the presser? Looks like an old Don King boxing press conference. Drunk people tripping, Diaz brothers starting shit heh..,

By far the biggest fight in UFC history could be on it's way.
http://www.mmafighting.com/2012/8/22...-featherweight As much as I love GSP I think Silva's length is going to be tough for him to overcome. I also don't think it's going to be a fight for the fans that like toe to toe bar room brawls, but for those that appreicate the strategic and technical aspect of MMA what a dream come true. |

Where has GSP ever used the lay and pray technique? The last fight I remember him having the went to the ground he about broke Hardy's arm.

You might confuse LnP with being boring. GSP didn't LnP with Kos, Shields, or Hardy. The fact that he didn't really try hard to finish in either the Kos or Shields fights are what loses fans for GSP, IMO.

It actually wasn't a slip. His knee hit Anderson's.

I remember when there used to be some pretty decent takes in here. Now grappling is easy and you can't break a mans arm should the opportunity present itself.
