GSP will never fight Silva unless it's for a retirement check. Watch the interviews whenever it's brought up. His handlers obviously watched the hendricks/condit fight, and thats why in the post fight press conference he gave Hendricks the nod for his next fight. Hendricks looked like shit. I honestly think GSP is looking to finish his contract and bail.
I don't think GSP has a say if he was going to fight Hendricks. White already promised the winner of Condit/Hendricks a title shot.
+1 So long as he comes in on a positive note, I don't think GSP is getting out of that cage right side up! LOL! I just ran across this post fight shot, try not to cringe it really depicts the beat down and domination GSP dished out. Just imagine if he hadn't hung on him or taken him down half as much as he did what he would have looked like. LOL!
The only real time you'll see an opponent of his look like he usually does if they're horrendous defensively on the ground. That is the ONLY place GSP will get some pounding in and only because it's accumulative not from raw power. The guy has 26 fights under his belt, not one KO. Another trivial GSP factoid, he's only been beaten by Matt's.
Anyone listen to the post fight press conferance? Diaz is all over the place. He is a great fighter but I don't know how this dude puts his cloths on in the morning. He needs a more positive vibe team if he decides to continue IMO. To be more specific he needs a PERSONAL ASSISTANT!!! Be here now, go there after, go to bed, pay your taxes, don't do drugs.....good lord he is a mess!!!
LOL.......he should be the governments walking logo for 'don't do weed', I'm sure that's completely coincidental tho cuz MR516 has made it painfully clear that lotsa smart people smoke the ganja.
Like most of you have already noted.... GSP controlled the fight easily, but he surely didn't "beat down" Diaz like he had said. I've never been a fan of "talking (I'm gonna....) before the fight. It's just that.... talk. Instead, talk about what you "hope/plan" to do. Diaz showed a little respect to GSP at the end..... but, then said GSP hit likes a girl not long after. LOL. Still a punk! Jumping ahead to Jones vs. Sonnen.... I like Chael for several reasons. He does talk, but it's for publicity. He always pressures his opponent (comes to fight), but Jones is gonna beat him easily I think. He & Jones seem to be getting along fairly well on TUF 17.
Yahoo news reported that Nick said he may be on his way to jail, on account he hasn't paid any taxes on his UFC earnings...I have to say, what a dumbass. He's acting like he wants to waste his life away for some reason.
