UFC 74: Comeback fight against Kos he stuck and moved keeping his hands high and when he connected he went in for an against the cage TD, never kept still, kept moving on the ground and stuffed any wrestling by Kos (of course not to bothered by Kos stand up).
UFC 79: Matt Hughes, the only way to fight Hughes is to keep a safe distance also. Even though (self proclaimed by Hughes) struggles with his striking, he sets up his take-downs with his hands and feet. Both top draw wrestlers, GSP fought Kos and Hughes differently.
UFC 83: Serra wasn't going to catch him twice! He punched and kneed the crap out of him in much closer range until he just run our of gas.
UFC 87: GSP knew Fitch is game is to "amateur wrestle" stay chest on chest, smother and hope to just stay on top, without any real effort to improve striking/sub position (Doesn't The Blanket Fitch do that well for the full 3 rounds????).. GSP is not an amateur wrestler but an MMA wrestler (which I think he and to a lesser degree (dare I say Bisping) does well, looking to GnP, sub and break from the ground hug to improve position and he adapted so well he just knew how to upperhand that type of one dimensional (and hugely effective) Fitch game. Brilliantly....
UFC 94: Of course Phil Nurse and his magic tub of grease helped slightly, but that being said, unlike the list above, GSP saw a big cardio problem with Penn, so he go on top, stayed active from his guard and wore the poor Penn into submitting with nothing in the tank.
UFC 100 & 111 will both be famous for 5 rounds of completely squashing any strengths/advantages that either Alves and Hardy had as soon as the bell rang...which is their great striking! Alves has a brown belt apparently in BJJ but good job he hits like a train as he has never shown any defense or offence in it. In fact some of his defeats have come from just average BJJ fighters subbing him in random chokes. (Spencer Fisher triangle??). So instead of a stick and move and risk it he pulled a Fitch and sent us to sleep....
Anyway, the point is..... vs Koscheck I think GSP will stand, sprawl then punch, kick, knee, slap for a lot longer than recent history has shown just to avoid getting into an amateur wrestling bout which he could easily meet his match in.
Prediction GSP standing KO slap bang in the middle of the Octagon!!
Any one think any different? Are we just going to see a bore-fest neutralising each others wrestling til GSP or Kos wins on points? Ahhh, I hope not.
