Banham Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Interim fight is more than glorified #1 contender fight. They have potential to be promoted to champion once GSP fakes another injury to avoid the NBK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobbo Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I some what agree, but at the same time I wouldn't say the winner of Condit/Diaz is the champion either. For someone to truly be the WW champ, they have to beat GSP IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwGSP Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hmm, that's interesting. His mindset has changed, and it doesn't sound like it's for the better. With that said, I believe he's more than earned his #1 ranking at WW, and the winner this Saturday will still have to beat him to be considered the best.

wanderleisilva101 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I don't get how people can say hang them up and **** about a top fighter like Gsp? I'm not a big fan of his fight style but he is champion whether he's injured or not, no one has proved they can beat him since he hit his prime. I want to see someone prove they can beat him like Diaz (hopefully) or Condit or maybe they can't atleast we find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to find ways to motivate himself, much how Penn talks trash and builds up artificial hate towards his opponent to get himself ready for the fight.

Michigan_Jay Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 He's putting himself in the mindset that he is the contender no matter what. That is dangerous for anyone that wants to fight him for the title. A GSP willing to leave no questions can finish almost anyone in his division and the division above. As it stands, he has only shown the capacity to "hold on" for the win. The alternative would simply be spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaksame Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 It is a media article,most are usually 50% truth and 50% total bull.For one thing GSP trains almost entirely at the TRI Star gym,and i wouldn't call Jackson a corner man or coach,he is clueless imo. IF GSP says anything to back this up,it is merely the old fashion psyche game we have seen in EVERY sport for the last 100 years. One thing for sure,if GSP goes into his next fight angry,he runs a 25% higher chance of losing because of Adrenaline burnout and not remaining focused.
