GSP needs to take more risk with his strategy

sr20bet · 04-21-2008, 08:30 AM

GSP is an awesome fighter and I'm one of his fans, but I think he took Serra down like a punk.

He's bigger, stronger, has more skills and is just as quick with a larger gas tank - so way just do the lay and pray. Sure it's safer and less risk just to take care of business, but as a fighter you're also an entertainer.

Where's the gsp of the yesteryears? he needs to showcase his skills and strategy, esp against a guy like matt serra (i was actually rooting for serra this fight, but my money would of been on gsp). If it was such a fluke the first time, stand and bang!!! do some take downs...ground and pound....don't just punch to set up the take downs.

I was mildly dissappointed at this fight. Winning is important, but how you will is almost equally important when you look back at you career when you're retired.

GSP, pls don't turn into tim sylvia - fight to win with boring fights.

lay n pray, yeah that's what it was. go watch some boxing then.

If you think that fight was boring, MMA isn't for you.

And if you think GSP hasn't always been a grappler, you've only seen his second fight versus Hughes, because that's pretty much the only one that he's won standing.

Did you even watch the fight? Have one less beer next time.

E Fucking Nough !!!!!

Wait wait wait... So giving Serra two black eyes, beating the shit out of him and kneeing him in the ribs over and over is "lay and pray"?

Wow. I actually lol'd at that.

You picked about the worst example to call something LNP. LNP is what Lister does not GSP but maybe you should watch a few more fights(you sound like a kid) and then come back here and call GSP's tatics LNP.

Why? To make it more entertaining for people wishing to see Serra knock him out.

He fought smart which is what a lot of people with losing records don't do. To say Georges putting Serra through the meat grinder isn't quality than what is. It's MMA.

I could see if Georges just sat in his guard. But he was passing a BJJ black belt, and punishing him with shots. Just not scoring points with the judges.

He also peppered him with Jabs standing.
