Except he totally has charisma and mic skills. That's why, now Brock has left, he is now the biggest PPV draw in the company.
People think being great on the mic is just trash talking and playing heel. GSP is maybe the only guy in the UFC who properly understands how to be a face. His appearence on the Conduit/Diaz prime time was an example of that, he knows exactly what he should be saying.

Dave Meltzer was saying a few months back how out of all the guys in the UFC GSP is probably the most like a pro wrestling character.

Ugh watching that video now pisses me off so much. GSP cut the best promo of his life right there and the Natural Born Runner had to fuck it all up.

Cain/Bigfoot odds are craaaazy

I know Bigfoot is slow, has shitty cardio, and will most likely lose a grindfest, but dayum. Might be worth laying some money down on him.

Dream,

You quoted John Keats in an MMA IRC chat. You're nerdy.

No offense to our friends who are into this kind of stuff but there is a world of goddamn difference between appreciating the subtle nuances and pained anguish and themes of escape in "Ode to a Nightingale" and playing glorified pokeyman for adults.

I don't see that fight going the distance. I think Cain takes it by GnP.

Meltzer said:
But even with no crowd favorite, the story was strong enough that early estimates of PPV numbers have topped 700,000 buys, by far the largest of Jones’ career. The number was big for UFC, because they had not established a new young star who was a major consistent draw since the rise of Brock Lesnar, now retired, and Georges St. Pierre, out for most of the year. While the draw was in good part due to the storyline, the number was big enough to where it, combined with WrestleMania a few weeks ago, seems to contradict a lot of people’s views of PPV as a dying industry. The big events, like this and WrestleMania, have done better than most expectations going in.

the ingenious thing about it is that you didn't even start it. But yeah it does appear like Chandler is benefiting just a bit from the glow of his siblings.

And yeah I was thinking 750k as well. 700k is not bad by any means though. It's too bad this fight couldn't have happened last year when the feud was still hot though, it could have easily done a million.

I want to see the best fighters; I want to see who is the strongest the best!
Guys should be able to do what ever it takes to be the strongest. Getting choked and kicked in the head is really bad for you, worse that pot, trt, or steroids. I don’t care who’s the cleanest, I wanna’ see the strongest, the fastest and the most gnarly fighters.
I don’t want to see who is the best at passing drug test. Overeem isn’t the only guy taking shit, he just got caught. I wanna’ see the baddest mother fuckers going at it. That’s why pride was the best I wanna see a 205 (ripped) Wanderlei Silva kill dudes!

Naw, GSP's greatest promo will always be post-Sherk, getting down on his knees and begging for a title shot.

I also loved before the second koscheck fight, GSP said something along the lines of "I can't wait to beat koscheck this time. It will be over, this will be the last time we fight.". And kos' face was like "oh...crap" like he knew this would be his only title shot, and he would come up short.

In Baroni's case, they don't give you a gas tank either, apparently.

You're fighting a losing battle, friend. The UFC and the ACs will continue to feign support for your cause, though.
