Sylvia vs Weidman

I know. I agree. Its OK to have different opinions. Everyone had one and having different ones is what makes conversation. Usually our posts
are respectful of each others opinions, not insisting we are right. Lighten up. lol

I wasn't trying to be a jerk. I just come off(that's what she said) like that some times.

If? and I would kick all their asses at Call of Duty. what difference does it make? it's a MMA fight not any of those other things. they might not look like Bullies but they sure act like them. They're classless A-holes. if he could have beat GSP he would have. yeah, I don't think GSP would take a Silva fight based on size alone. sure Nick can "SAY" he'll fight Silva all damn day but that doesn't matter because he's not. be it because he really won't or won't get that fight. either way it doesn't matter.

OK let's break down what I was trying to get across here. A) Nick Diaz will fight anyone- fact.
B ) GSP wants to be classified as best p4p ever but when Silva went to the fight with known intentions that if GSP won, Silva would come challenge him in the octagon, but before he had the chance to, GSP got on the mic and said he didn't want the fight- fact
C ) GSP wants to be classified the best fighter but picks and chooses his battles and is one of the most (by far ) catered fighters in the UFC to benefit him - fact
D ) under Pride rules GSP tactics would not work, they need to change some things and keep somethings (like no soccer kicks to the head while down should def be kept) and ref's need a standard of scoring known by the fighters and fans, but they don't - fact
E ) classless a-holes don't hug the opponents after their matches- fact
F ) ppl with good hearts don't want to get close and friendly to ppl they have to fight, ad most fighters are emotional- fact
G ) The fact that GSP after a win always says how even though the other fighter tried their best they couldn't beat him, but they sure did a great job "trying" to beat him is about the most sarcastic a-hole shit I have ever seen, yet no one ever mentions that shit
H ) He is caught cheating against BJ Penn, he got greased, Dana White is on tape saying how GSP is fucked, why would he cheat etc, than it is swept all under the rug and forgotten about- fact
GSP is a great athlete but not a top MMA Fighter. He didn't even acknowledge Ben Henderson's calling GSP out to fight, or accept Silva's challnge, yet he is supposed to be a top 3 guy? c'mon. He is a spoon fed media driven "champ" that is great at utilizing an overpower hold style game. Look at his record and break down the tko to decision ratio I will do it for you 11 decisions to 8 tko's aka 58% decision rate (to 42% tko) in that aspect where as Diaz TKO to Decision ration is 72% tko to 28% decision, which would you rather watch?
Nick would fight anyone, has the best cardio in the whole sport IMO has swam from "The Rock" twice, which was supposed to be considered impossible, places in triathlons, and has a great ground game as well as hands. I don't understand why or how any true fight fan could disregard all of this . Again if I had to choose who to have my back in a brawl it sure as hell would not be GSP.
Everyone close to Diaz loves the guy, assholes don't have that, and I don't mean ppl feeding off his fame, other fighters, his students, sparring partners etc.
People do not give him enough credit, he never gives up, he always goes 100% that's the fighters I want to see. He never defeats himself before or during the fight, that's what I want to see, he always has enough in his tank to fight another couple rounds past a Title fight, that's what I want to see. Call me crazy but he lays it on the line, and that is an exciting non-predictable fight aka amazing to watch IMO.
The only time GSP looked impressive to me was VS KOS the 2nd time, and Serra the 2nd time (which Serra fights like a brawler instead of with a game plan)
If you want to be considered number one take some risks, Aldo has wayyyyyy shown up GSP and he has 1/1000th of the credit and thats a guy with 23 wins and 1 loss from when he was like 18.
There are way better fighters than him that bc they aren't trendy aren't as recognized as he is. He is a media blitz and he gets special treatment almost always getting home playing advantage lately, which means a lot. No change in climate or altitude is huge.
