GSP looked unbelievable. I dont like watching him he is a far too safe fighter. It was far from the lay and pray I expected but Nick proved his mentality in the ring or fight IQ is probabally his lowest point.
Skill wise if he had of got his head in the right place in the standing portion he should have found his range and been far more active and not walking about upset about getting held down for a few rounds.
Hendricks sure is the man to beat GSP. Like Sonnens 1st fight with Anderson sometimes being frontfooted relentlessly agressive stiffels the other guys tallents and flair. I could see a front footed attack throwing GSPs calm paced standup out the window. A short compact guy throwing bombs is the last time we saw GSP beat. I look forward to it but hope GSP doesnt decide to take some time off as he was heard talking about.
Ellengerger and Maia for me are a clear number 2 and 3 contender behind Hendricks so lets see them fight.
On the next level Story is right up there again. A fight with Safadine would be great. Or a Kampmann rematch. Love to see either.
T.Wood vs Shields is a meaningfull fight in a stacked devision but in not a big fan of their.
Mein and Macdonald is bound to happen some time at their age.
Lawler vs Kim would makde sence too but Cote vs Lawler would be great craic to watch!
NICK DIAZ NEEDS TO FIGHT THIAGO ALVES!
GSP is a busy guy. I hope he defends that title ASAP and doesnt take time off. He is close in terms of legacy, he has far more to gain fighting guys at 170lbs than moving.
