he is known as the prodigy. you cant have potential forever. maybe he has become the best he can be. maybe that is why people of the past three years have only seen his losses to big name guys. like hughes and st. pierre and if you consider him a big name machida. the prodigy tag needs to be dropped and maybe we need to realize that he is only above average and that his skills are no longer as big as his name.
you seriously have to watch his last 3 fights as a mixed martial artist, and not as a fan of mma. The guy is so slick and his transitions are so damn fluid...from standing and trading with gsp to tooling matt hughes his skill is unmatched. Hell he almost pulled a gogo on gsp. Conditioning is what got him L's instead of W's.

no shit!
you hit the nail right on the head.
and many people would tell you they dont think gsp really beat him.
Great topic TC my only comment is that Aurelio dominated Gomi more that BJ did.
