Interviewer: So how come you always give the same mundane answers for the last two years?

GSP: Does not compute.

But why do they give him the same mundane setups/questions if they don’t wan the same answers? They know their subject.

very true, most journalists do ask the same questions

On Y2K Alex Jones was on the radio yelling that Russian was nuking the USA.
Now is this an indictment of Alex Jones, or an indictment of Jones' fans.
It seems as though people love being lied to & having their money stolen from them.

Let me guess...

Takedown, pass to half-guard, beat up x5 rounds (if Hardy lasts that long)

Maybe

I was thinking what you said only he will do that for 2 or 3 rounds to get Hardy tired then pick him apart on his feet after.

I hope GSP gets knocked out.

Sick and tired of those same robotic responses. One of the most boring champions EVER. In and outside the octagon.

If you think GSP is boring, MMA isn’t the sport for you. There’s no other fighter that shows a diversity of skills in the octagon as GSP, and there’s not a classier, harder working fighter around.

There’s room for trash talking in MMA, but classy champs like GSP are a breath of fresh air given how MMA is characterized in the general sports media.

u can love MMA

and still find Georges boring at times… doesn’t mean he isn’t great at what he does.

That’s not at all what the other post stated, however.

Just like that Fedor guy.

Keep firing Assholes!

Fedor is different. He’s never been in a boring fight. He’s knocked people out, submitted them and has that eerie calmness about him.

GSP is very good at what he does. He used to be very exciting but lately his fighting has been reduced to a rinse and repeat formula of wrestling+gnp.

Whatever, kid. GSP has always fought the same. Watch his old UCC fights. He had that stream of fights before the second Hughes fight where he stood a little more but that’s about it. I’m a big Fedor fan but he has been in boring fights. Find a new excuse to hate. GSP is one of the most popular and successful guys in the game right now. Why is that the case if he’s so boring? He gets another Primetime series against a guy he’s supposed to blow out because he’s boring? Riiiight.

I’ve been an MMA fan way before GSP came along. When he burst onto the UFC scene, I became an instant fan. I loved his athleticism, his constant evolution as a fighter and his demeanor. But now, he’s become a fighter who takes no risks. Since that Matt Serra loss, his gameplans have been about adopting the path of least resistance. I can appreciate wrestling but it wouldn’t hurt to see him mix things up a bit now would it? Koscheck, for example, is a great wrestler as well but he does try and make things exciting.

GSP getting another Primetime because he is the WW champion; not because he provides awesome sound-bytes. They also need to promote a fight which would potentially be too one sided for people to bother ordering it.

And I don’t hate him. Hate is a word I reserve for guys like Rampage. With GSP, its just that there are several guys out there I’d rather see fighting. I do admire a lot of things about him though.

If he got a Primetime just because he’s the welterweight champion, why didn’t Penn get one for Edgar, since he seems to be so much more popular with “hardcore” fans? I understand there are other guys you would rather see fight, but I’ve seen you just flat-out dog him in other posts. Don’t dog him in one minute and then act you respect him another minute. That’s fake. The same reasons you claim that made you a fan, still apply to him. Why the hell should he take risks to please you? None of the best fighters take risks. It’s stupid. Of course they’re trying to win. The same fighters who take risks are the ones getting knocked out every other Fight Night. Like I’ve said several times before, if his ground game was a boring as some of you claim, the crowd would not cheer every time he takes somebody down. EVERY time. You guys think he’s boring because he’s clean-cut, your girl thinks he’s hot, doesn’t talk needless bullshit, and smokes your favorite fighter who does. This is the type of world we live in, where people can honestly think guys like Nick Diaz have a remote chance in hell of beating GSP, because he runs his mouth and flips birds a lot. That’s more impressive than actual skill. I don’t care that you don’t like GSP. Just have legit reasoning behind it.
