Possibility of GSP faking ACL-tear

Dopexot

Before people start making me out for a troller, I'm not trying to troll.

I just want to take a look at the positive and negative effects of it, and a possibility of Dana's cooperation.

GSP faking an injury freezed the title-options in the division for a long time. #1 contenders were built and crushed, one after another, because eventually the chance of losing after being #1 contender is big. GSP didn't have anything to worry about in the period, he could just take a long, long camp and train like an animal to get a huge advantage (in his eyes of course).

The only negative-part of it, is the ring rust. That's it.

The chance of Dana cooperation is a big possibility because we all know Dana loves to have GSP as the champ, and he wants him to stay champ as long as possible, and if GSP could impress him with the idea, the chance that Dana cooperates is big.

How do you guys think about the possibility of this?

P.S. I'm honest, I'm a Nick Diaz fan, but I am no hater towards GSP and this is NO troll.

My only questions are why would GSP fake the injury and why would Dana not want him to fight when hes a huge cash cow?

GSP faking that injury is old news

jduk

So he just gave him a year off kinda thing? Believable but unlikely considering all the pictures of him in hospital etc

So he could have a long, long training camp.

Because an interim fight would also make him money, and build up the hype for GSP's next fight even bigger.

There was no need to build GSP up. He was already at stardom.

I agree, I think he might of faked

Absolutely ZERO possibility.Dana makes more money when he can have GSP FIGHT in a venue,he makes nothing having GSP sit at home.
\
Outside of fighting the only guys he has on the go is Chael and the panel on their tv shows.Also i am not his accountant but i think all would agree GSP has plenty of money he could simply retire if he didn't care about fighting anymore.Also being out so long ,then coming back does NOT put him in good fighting shape,nor does it keep him sharp,it is nothing but a hindrance to his overall ability.Soooo 0.1% chance.

......... I'm not even going to....

spartacus_

just no.

nobody needs that much time to prepare, and Dana sure didn't like having his star out.

I could be wrong but i am fairly certain GSP makes a lot more long paper defending his belt rather than sitting on his ****

I'll entertain OP though. What would he gain by sitting out for almost 2 years? Put on some weight to challenge Silva? Maybe, but you'd think that fight would be scheduled if not all ready in the works.
What other fantastical scenario are you thinking about OP? I'm interested. Sitting out to train just sounds retarded imo.

No, Condit's running performance vs Diaz hurt the hype for GSP-Condit.

You think that George just fancied not getting paid for a couple years?
& the UFC didn't really want to make any money off of their biggest money maker throughout that time?

GSP was being lined up for a title fight with Diaz before announcing his injury, so no he didn't fake the injury because he wants this fight more than any other fight before in my opinion, so if he needs to fake an injury now is the time to do it because Anderson Silva, Johny Hendricks or his team Rory McDonald are next in line and none are easy fights.

I don't think he will fight Rory, even if he gets past Hendricks. It's too bad as it's the most even fight skill wise and I think it would be really entertaining. I think Hendricks has a decent chance at beating him, though his only way would be via 1 punch KO. That being said while I question GSP's heart I find the notion of him faking an injury for a year long training camp dumb.

I would fake something that wouldn't require me limping for a couple of months 24/7 so nobody notices I'm faking.

He's a millionair and he's a grown-up. He doesn't need faking anything - if he felt like he needed a break, he would just make a break. Just like Couture did.
This is not primary school where you fake a stomach-ache not to have to go to class, kid. Grow up.
