    I agree. Thinking back at the fight. Hendricks may have beat him up in rounds 2 and 4, but only one guy fought like a "champion" that night. This is Hendricks's biggest fight of his life, one he's been asking for for years, and finally gets it, but doesn't push for the win in the championship and final round???? :huh

    GSP took a hellacious beating that left him 1/2 blind and with a blacked out memory, but still pushed his hardest in the final round to win the fight :deal

    GSP still fought like GSP he just looked very different cosmetically and weak in the clinch, Juice has minimal effect of endurance but there was a marked difference in his appearance. It also can make a huge difference mentally and as the test levels drop so does the confidence.

    Johnny was not gassed as he left some in the tank rather than leaving it all in the Octagon. He has to live with that and as time goes on he will blame the judges less and himself more.

    Can someone post pics of GSP in this fight vs others to show the massive difference in appearance?

    Funny, I personally thought GSP looked super juiced this Saturday compared to a natural looking guy like Hendricks.

    Same ..extremely well conditioned fighter.

    Took also shots better than I expected but seemed like something indeed was messing his head throughout the built-up.
    Hopefully he get issues sorted, comes back better than ever AND ditches that extra testing nonsense.

    This is the exact same scenario as Pacquiao making Marquez III after Marquez looked slow old and fat against Floyd, and demanding the extra testing. Thought he no longer needed the PEDs to beat him, so wanted to "prove" he had been clean all along

    And lo and behold both looked like utter **** in comparison to their usual selves

    Obviously if a guy is heavily muscled he must then cut more weight/water for the weigh in. A muscular guy would look more drained on the scales than a less muscular guy with the same frame. On fight night, when rehydrated, he was visibly smaller. A fact commented on by some MMA journalists in podcasts I have listened to since the fight. It might be a coincidence, but then again it might not and the rumours have been around for years now.

    Are you saying Pac demanded extra testing for JMM 3?
