MMA Quick Quote: UFC 111 notwithstanding, Georges St. Pierre has 'very exciting' fights

Gsp-alves-ufc-100_medium

"It was only my last fight. My other fights before (UFC 111) were very exciting, they were all very exciting. My last fight, people criticized me of course but if I would have got that armbar in the first round, no one would have said nothing and in the third round, the same thing, the Kimura. Sometimes the line is very tiny between a very good win in a great fashion and a decision."

UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre responds to criticism (via MMA Digest) surrounding the recent backlash towards wrestling based offensive attacks that have carried some fighters to victory in spite of crowd satisfaction. "Rush" contends that his unanimous decision win over Dan Hardy at UFC 111 could be viewed as less than exciting, but fans also started booing his five rounder against Thiago Alves back at UFC 100 in July 2009. Are GSP fans spoiled from his dominant run as champion? Or just fed up with wrestlers taking the fight to the ground to avoid danger on the feet?

Alves fight sucked, just like Fitch before that

by Lester The Pimp on Sep 22, 2010 9:24 AM EDT reply actions  

I like the Fitch fight but

the Alves and Penn fight myself and everybody I watched it with thought it was boring. I like how GSP is trying to make comments on his own fights. lol His next fight will be another 5 ruond snuggle fest unless Kos takes him out.

Lesnar isn't the most skilled fighter but until somebody beats him he is the #1 HW in the world. It's obviously not Fedor and sure as hell isn't Werdum!

An injured Anderson Silva managed to finish a cheating Sonnen who failed his drug test but GSP can't finish a natural WW who isn't a dinosaur and won't take a fight at an above weight class. Let's not kid ourselves about who the real P4P king is!

No, the Kos fight was...

That was his first fight after the KO loss to Serra which we all know is why he doesn’t stand for long anymore. He hasn’t finished a real WW who doesn’t also fight at LW and who isn’t a dinosaur in lord knows how long. Just like my sig says.

And who has finished this narrow category of WWs?

He came closer to finishing Fitch than anyone else ever has at WW. Hell, he did more damage than Fitch’s last 20 opponents combined.

He came closer to finishing Alves than anyone (aside from when Alves walked into an upkick), dropping him twice with punches which is something nobody has ever done.

He came closer to finishing Hardy than anyone since his rookie year.

The reason you haven’t seen finishes in ages is that it’s been ages since GSP has fought cans like Yoshida, lower level fighters like Hazelett and Rumble, over the hill fighters like Hughes and Trigg, etc. It’s a joke that Koscheck thinks he has KO power while GSP doesn’t and is gunshy. What GSP did to Hughes, Fitch, Penn, and Alves is a much more impressive showing of punching power than what Koscheck did to Yoshida and Trigg.

The only guy that GSP didn’t finish that has been KO’d before is Koscheck. We’ll see what happens in December. I’m expecting the same thing we saw the last time GSP fought a wrestler.

HE gave Fitch a beating yes, but to go in and wrestle a collegate wrestler who has sub par stand up is bad

GSP ownd the stand up in RD 1 then decided to play it safe for RD’s 2-5. Why not strike when you clearly have your opponent out-classed?

GSP’s own fear of getting Serra’ed again is gonna cost him fans in the long run

He needs to do a King Mo and tell all the anti wrestling anti decision idiots to go fuck themselves.

If you didn’t enjoy the GSP Fitch fight, I don’t even really want to talk to you. That was an ass beating of epic proportions. Fitch is a tough SOB and no one had ever done that shit to him before. Fitch nullifies the strengths of everyone he ever fights and GSP made him look silly. Also, I hate GSP, but that doesn’t mean I am blind to his skills.

GSP never plays the clock

and does try to finish, but he still getting shit from people. I do not hear any of them blaming his pathetic opponents for not making it more entertaining for them. You guys should just stick to watching fighers like Phil Baroni and Nate Quarry if you are not bothered about any other aspect of MMA apart from watching guys stand up and bang. Is the fact that he is fighting tough opponents who may be difficult to finish, that hard for you to accept.. You keyboard warriors make it sound as if you can go in there and do a better job yourselves. Stop fucking whining and change the damn record.

No...

Hating is when somebody tries to dogg somebody for no valid reason, never being able to finish people even in 5 rounds is a valid reason to criticize so wake up and realize that nobody is hating. More like people need to jump off the band wagon and think for themselves.

Hating is when somebody tries to dogg somebody for no valid reason

Like complaining about the most dominant fighter of the last few years? I suppose Jose Aldo has an argument for being as dominant, but he hasn’t faced the same level of competition as GSP. Point is you’re clearly hating.

Are you really more impressed by Anderson Silva finishing Chael Sonnen despite being absolutely dominated for 4.5 rounds than you are by GSP completely dominating his last 7 opponents?

Finishing fights is great but what happens before that is a lot more important. Pulling a submission out of your ass to avoid losing a lopsided decision will never be as indicative of being an amazing fighter as dominating your opponent from bell to bell and winning a decision. But you go right along and keep telling yourself you’re not hating.

i disagree

being essentially beaten down for twenty plus minutes and showing the heart and presence of mind to finish your opponent is an epic display of a quality that can not be taught! the true heart of a champion. this is much more indicative of an amazing fighter than some one who has merely learned many skills.. anderson silva a legend now>bj penn quittin on the stool

fitch is known as one of the best wrestlers in the sport

To put him on his back, pass his guard (which NO ONE could do until GSP), and make him look stupid is a feather in G’s hat

Maybe one of his life goals was to make all AKA guys realize they aren’t that good at wrestling as is their claim to fame

He went for 2 TD’s in round 1, 1 in rounds 2-4 and 2 in round 5. GSP only went for 7 TDs (landed 5) the entire fight, so how did he turn it into a wrestling match after the first round? You might want to go back and watch that fight again.

You think a guy who walks around 215-220 fighting at 205 is more impressive than a guy who walks around at about 190 fighting at 185? GSP fighting at 185 would be a lot more impressive than Anderson Silva fighting at 205, at least when comparing their ‘natural size’ to that of their weight class.

The weight difference between classes matters a lot less than the size a fighter is relative to the class he’s fighting in.

You also failed to mention that Anderson Silva moved up in weight to fight a barely top-20 James Irvin and Forrest Griffin, who also matches up horribly with Silva.

LHW is the most stacked but I’m a bigger fan of the lower weights, usually they involve the most skill, speed and technique plus most of those guys have much better cardio than those in the higher weights (with some glaring exceptions) so they can keep up a faster pace for a longer amount of time and that’s what I like to see, as well as finishes.

Also, this jackass thought

that the 170 class was more stacked than the 205 class! LMAO Even thought he made a point cause inside MMA had 8/10 UFC top 10 at 205 and like 9/10 at WW when that doesn’t matter cause they’re so many guys at 205 that not all of them are listed in the top 10. That’s why the title changes so much. At that time Jones wasn’t even a top 10 guy there but Hughes was #9 or so at WW. lol THAT’S proof that the 205 division is more stacked. Plus it’s well known to everybody who is a real MMA fan.

He also thought GSP holding somebody down for 5 rounds was somehow just as impressive as what Anderson did to Forrest… umm not possible. It’s reason’s like this why everybody saw me beat him like a drum but watch him claim he won. lol

Lesnar isn't the most skilled fighter but until somebody beats him he is the #1 HW in the world. It's obviously not Fedor and sure as hell isn't Werdum!

Popular opinion means alot..

you should respect it before claiming your statements. You were so sure that WW was more stacked and it’s not even for your weak “competitive” argument cause GSP has laid on all of those guys for 5 rounds. The title has changed hands a ton at LHW so that means that it’s in FACT more “competitive”. Lost around round and now that you see that more people aren’t agreeing with you you’re starting to back down which is what you should have done in the first place cause I told you that you’re like a paraplegic trying to box with me.

Paraplegic doesn’t mean you can’t box first of all, and says something about you because you’re losing.

You should look at the strike numbers. In round one there were 6 strikes from striking distance from GSP (only 1 from Fitch), but 62 on the ground from GSP and 9 from Fitch. Round 2 there were 0 ground strikes, while GSP and Fitch had a total of 39 standing (26-13). The standing actually increased between round 1 and 2. There were also less ground strikes than standing in round 4 as well but yes, there were more ground strikes than standing in round 5.

Not to stoke this fire

but Andy was a terrible, terrible fight for Forest. That was a giftwrapped win for Andy. A slow big guy, who will stand in front of you. Come on. Andy should have done what he does- and he did. GSP vs. Fitch. That was a thing of beauty. This just highlights the point that everyone has different opinions.

Last point- “search online for what everybody calls the most stacked division in MMA”

1. I believe this was a UFC conversation, not an mma conversation, but I may be wrong. This comment makes me think you are someone who thinks mma= ufc.
2. Everybody- those same everybodies are also the same jackasses that think Kimbo slice should be recognized as the top dog, and he would dethrone Brock just as easy as he would dethrone GSP. Following the masses is not solid ground for a good argument in mma.

The proof was that most consider the LHW division to be more stacked. Every MMA fan knows this and yes that is an opinion but it’s a fact that most agree with that opinion. It’s a fine line dip shit.

Deuce, how you bring up and represent your debate’s is commendable. It is a UFC debate but UFC is also MMA so that’s really not important. Silva has defended his belt longer and has finished more fight than GSP has plus has stepped up a weight class which GSP won’t do so it’s clearly more impressive wouldn’t you agree?

Yes, my name is deuce, and its ok to call me a turd

But, it doesn’t bode well for your seemingly purist take on how to properly debate.

Just because more people think that 205 is more stacked, doesn’t mean you are right. It means you agree with the majority.

Yes, many people agree with that opinion, but, millions of people also agree that Kimbo is a great fighter, doesn’t make that shit right.

My point with saying UFC, is that many newer fight fans think of mma as nothing but the UFC. Not trying to make any claims about whether you are new to the sport or not, plus it doesn’t much matter, but the way you described it was problematic for me. Many will agree that the UFC has a stacked 205 division. Those same people may argue that Dream and Sengoku are stacked at 155 and 170. Those same people might argue that the 185 division is the most stacked at SF. So, yes it matters, IMO anyways.

And no, I won’t say clearly more impressive. Yes, I want to see GSP move up. But what you are missing with Andy is clear:

1. He doesn’t sell well
2. The UFC wants him to sell well
3. The UFC wants to market him as unbeatable
4. The UFC sets up easy fights for him at 205 to make him more marketable.

Oh no...

long time MMA fan here… not just UFC but if you ARE an MMA fan then you know that it’s a top company and that is NOT a matter of opinion. Doesn’t mean that there aren’t great fighters outside of the company either.

Part of the reason Silva sales are weak is because until now he had pretty much cleaned out his division back when he beat Hendo. Hendo moved on, got old… Franklin went to LHW and others like Nate have struggles staying consistent. Alot of fans like myself want to see Silva go to LHW for good because him vs Shogun, Machida, Rashad, Rampage would def sell! Another problem is the fact that he doesn’t speak enough english. He speaks some from time to time and think he doesn’t know more than he lets on but not as much as GSP. Also, GSP is a pretty boy who chicks and MM_Eh love to look at and that sells. In my opinion as far as the hardcore fans go I think if Silva was at 205 I think people would want to see his fights more sticky on a fight stand point. Plus let’s not forget that GSP has shared some of his fights on the same card as Lesnar which was the real reason why it was so high. GSP by himself doesn’t quite do what Rampage and Lesnar can do or what Chuck used to do.

My biggest beef with Silva

is that he can speak English, but chooses not to, while competing in an American promotion. He would sell a thousand times better if he just spoke some simple english. Sad, but true.

Don’t hate on Meh so much. I HATE GSP. HATE, but I respect him for the gay man he is. And GSP will sell in Canada though man. National damn hero.

I would love to see Silva with some real challenges at 205. Put him in with Rampage, Machida, Evans, hell, Randy would be a fun fight. But, Sandman and Forest were just fights put on to make him look good.

TDs need to be weighed less heavily in the score cards.

This is the problem with wrestling….

The problem is that to counter a boxer’s strength, you typically don’t use boxing. To counter a bjj guy’s strength, you typically don’t use bjj. But to counter a wrestler’s strength during a takedown at least , you have no choice but to wrestle less a well-timed, albeit, improbable blow.

People say fighters need to learn TD defense. Most people can spend 10 years learning TD defense and still not be able to stop a takedown from ppl like GSP.

So why allow elbows to the head??

those elbows to matuyshenkos temple looked about as bad as a knee to the head. If you don’t get that i can’t help you

Can you tell me what the difference is between a flying knee to the head standing up or a knee to someones head who is on their KNEE’S

by Weedsuplement on Sep 22, 2010 10:21 AM EDT up reply actions  

Spine compression for one. Another factor is the mechanics of the skull. You can withstand much more force to the forehead when compared to that of the top of the head. This has to do with skull thickness as well as neck movement and force absorption. I’m not saying there isn’t risk in other techniques, but the risk of death and spinal injury in knees to a downed fighter is much much higher.

North to south Kness to the top of the head would be super dangerous

You can easily get vertabrate compression when your neck snaps back aswell. North to south Kness to the top of the head are the only strike that I would agree with you are ssignificantly more dangerous. But knees to the head from sidemount or a crucifix don’t seem any more dangerous than other strikes. Soccer kicks to the head are no different that a standing head kick.

You were referring to how it would change wrestler’s though so I assumed you were talking about the North/South knee during a sprawl. I’m not too against knees from a side position, but I didn’t think that was what you were talking about. As far as kicks go, I’m not a fan of kicking a downed fighter at all, and I think you can generate more impact when the guys down, but I don’t have any data to back that up.

Lentz is boring, Fitch is not.

The reason is that Lentz only uses his wrestling and he’s not even that good at it, so he just hughs his opponent the entire fight. Fitch on the other hand is a great wrestler and dominates his opponents (except GSP). He’s also good standing with his muythai and he always tries to finish fights. Get of Fitchs back, bitches.

You propose a false analogy.

2) If each move (backhand, forehand, etc) was judged AND the forehand was weighed heavier than a backhand, then the guy with the unreal forehand has an unfair advantage and, yes, I will criticize the game but not the player.

Wrestling isn’t weighed heavier.

If fighter A kicks he crap out of fighter B for the entire round and fighter B scores a last second take down, fighter A still gets the round.

Does there need to be some changes made to the whole “I took you down more times so I win” mentality? Sure. But that’s not the issue people are talking about.

Fitch takes guys down and controls them, pounds them and doesn’t give them any oppenings. That’s not the same thing as a guy winning a fight by taking a guy down constantly and not being able to do anything (i.e. they lie in guard for a stand up, or the other guy gets right back up).

There are 2 things being discussed and they are completely different. GSP’s fights would be no different if wrestling was scored differently, so it’s a moot point.

That being said, there are fighters who have gotten wins because of last second takedowns that did nothing more than see them lying in guard for 30 seconds. That’s a completely different aspect that should be discussed, but doesn’t pertain to the other aspects of wrestling.

In theory, there is little difference between practice and theory, but in practice there is!

I agree with most of what you say

I agree with most of what you say, but not the crux of what you say.

You cannot conclude that wrestling isn’t weighed heavier because fighter A gets the round if he “kicks the crap out of fighter B for the entire round and fighter B scores a last second take down.” I think many reasonable people agree that wrestling is weighed heavier just not as heavy as much as a full round of an ass beating. In my mind, it’s just a question of degree that is in dispute.

That aside, I agree that there are two discussions going on here. One concerns GSP, the other concerns wrestling in general. That is, the player or the game. I think you have to blame the game, not the player.

There are also just lay n prayers who exploit this fault in the game. They win not because they’re good mixed martial artists, but because they are great wrestlers. These are the “boring” fighters people often complain of. I don’t think GSP should be placed in the same category.

ground fighting is not wrestling.

It’s the fact that wrestlers suck on the ground all they care about is control and holding position. You go watch curling instead.

newfie3 you’re out riding your bicycle here, an unreal forehand produces winners/finishes which is exactly what the fans wanna see.. takedowns do no damage and is not going to finish fights unless we have someone with the ability to slam ppl like Rampage used to do back in the day.

Wrestling is good if it brings you closer to finishing your opponent. Takedown to good GNP gets a thumbs up. Takedown to good submission attempts gets a thumbs up..

Good point

TDs shouldn’t really score points unless something is done with them.
It also seems like defending a takedown doesn’t count for anything score wise.
What I mean is if someone defended the TD to keep it standing but didn’t throw any/many punches would they win the round? That would be the opposite of LnP which is a winning tactic.

Of course even with reduced scoring for TDs, GSP dominates his fights easily.

Knocking someone out depends on mostly two things: 1) how hard you hit and 2)the strength of his chin.

You’re saying that all that matters is the first part. You’re ignoring the fact that different people have different chins. And, if you’re a top contender, chances are you didn’t become great by having a weak chin.

you do not become a good fighter by having a strong chin. any fighter lacking skill will get knocked the FUCK out, that’s how it works, you get hit clean you go out. Having a strong chin is not a skill.

knocking someone out depends on 2 things 1) how good your hands are 2) how clean you hit.

No need to be combative.

I never said having a strong chin was a skill??? calm down.

i think your post illuminates your bad thinking on this topic. in your list, you ignore the person on the receiving end of the punch. You can’t ignore that.

Example:
Give me a 140 lbs 18 year old with “good hands” and let him have a “clean hit” against a 25 year old heavy weight. Doubtful the heavyweight gets knocked down.

by Boobz on Sep 22, 2010 10:50 AM EDT up reply actions  

To KO

Decent power. Not even in the hands. But good hip rotation, steady base and momentum.

Accurate strikes. Hitting the temple flush, or that magic “button” on the chin.

The chin thing is a myth really. Every person is unique, every person has unique nerves, nerve endings and their bodies all have different reaction to them being triggered.

Don't hate the playa', hate the game.

My point is summed up by this ghetto proverb:

 “Don’t hate the playa’, hate the game.”

GSP is just playing by the rules and has the power to be really, really boring if he wanted to be. He’s actually pretty damn exciting considering that nobody equals his wrestling skills in his weight class.

by Boobz on Sep 22, 2010 10:11 AM EDT reply actions  

Here are the facts...

BJ – other than quitting on the stool against GSP, BJ has been finished once in the UFC by Hughes (the ww champ at the time)

Fitch – has never been finished in the UFC and has only 1 loss…to GSP

Alves – has been finished twice in the UFC. Once by Fitch, and once by Fisher when he was 18

Hardy – has never been finished in the UFC

These guys are apparently no slouches. GSP IS the best WW in the world but these 4 opponents didn’t get there by accident. GSP’s opponents have been THE BEST in the world as well. This makes his fights exciting.

Agreed Mac. Once you move up in ranks the competition gets harder. Not everyone is going to be finished and to think so sets yourself up for disappointment. Not eveyone is going to gas out in a slugfest in under a round (see Zombie and Garcia) and make you sit through another two boring…I mean exciting rounds. If that’s what you’re looking for then don’t want GSP. He comes in highly trained, and IN SHAPE. There should be way more people pissed about wasting money on fighters who gas as opposed to those who don’t finish the cream of the crop. Gassing is something that can be rectified, and I actually think that it’s disrespectful to the fans and the sport when dudes won’t hit a treadmill.

Hmm. I wouldnt go that far. Hardy wasnt ranked too highly. I would say in the UFC Machida has. Thiago Silva. Rashad. Shogun x2. And in the WW division you can Thiago Alves has had a tough four fights. Fitch, GSP, Kos and Matt Hughes.

But you are right GSP has faced some tough guys.

by EvolutionMMA on Sep 22, 2010 2:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

Interesting perspective

To further your point, if we want to see GSP finish, we can easily match him against a guy with less than five fights. Or we can pair him up with someone that has a notoriously weak chin. Or match him against amateurs, women, or that one guy with no legs…

I like Fitch

he sticks to great gameplans and doesnt get swayed to stand and bang, or take unnecessary risks even tho he catches slack for it. Dont be fooled, if more guys could be doing this they would be.

I didn't say he sucked. I said he's boring.

His last 7 wins have all been decisions. He doesn’t try to win fights. he doesn’t transition. He just literally dry humps people.

used to be exciting.

It’s obvious since Serra’s upset and joining Jackson’s camp, all GSP does is takedown and score points to win a decision. GSP will only engage in standup after he tires his opponent with endless takedowns. he’s still a dominant champion but has been too dependent on his wrestling lately and therefore become less exciting to watch. just an old fan who misses his headkick to Hughes.

by LLC on Sep 22, 2010 1:19 PM EDT reply actions  

In the 7 fights since the Serra TKO GSP has finished Hughes (Armbar), Serra (strikes), and Penn (crying due to brain trauma). Hughes has been stopped a total of 7 times in 52 fights (2 by GSP), Serra has been stopped twice (once by GSP and once by a spinning back fist to Mr. International in 2001) and Penn has been stopped a grand total of 2 times (Once to GSP and once to Hughes). During those 7 fights he also kicked the snot out of Fitch (could have been stopped), Alves and Hardy, while playing it safe with Kos for a title shot. So I’m not sure how you say since that loss he has been only looking to score points to win a decision. I think a lot of people get brainwashed reading these sites.

Why? He is giving everyone permission to play with themselves. Basically he is saying, I am an elite fighter with a great physique. And I have sex with myself. So you shoudl too.

For some reason I remember him saying “sex is great for an athlete, not with girls though”.

Play it safe=dominating.

They won’t be happy until he gets knocked out again. I’ve quit coming to threads with GSP involved.
