It wasn't just wrestling. GSP dominated the striking landing crisp jabs and good kicks while BJ couldn't land anything significant on the feet. GSP is a more skilled more versatile fighter than Penn. Penn is only better than GSP at BJJ, and submission defense is a lot easier than submission offense.
Don't need times, we need to watch the thing in 'real time'. But would that make him any more slippery than working up a good sweat? I mean if it was just a minimal amount left over from when he did the face.
What?? The first rd was barely GSP. 2nd round BJ came out with a 1-2 then got taken down and it was done, no one to blame but BJ. The difference was BJ couldnt secure his guard, due to GSPs sheer brute strenght and size. The guy is an incredible athlete, miles ahead of BJ, strong and explosive. Skillwise they are even, its his athletic attributes that pushes him over.
**** article. He says some things that aren't backed up by stills. Nothing is CLEAR from those photos. While what he says MIGHT be true, using stills simply do not back up his claims. How do we know he went straight to the body after going to his hand in the second picture? We don't. He could have been wiping excess back onto his hand for all we know.
at the end of the day GSP is twice the fighter BJ Penn is and he proved it on that night That's what really matters
Twice the fighter? No. GSP proved that he is a Professional Athlete, and BJ Penn is a talented fighter.
No, I didn't mean that. I wasn't trying to say GSP ISN'T a fighter. I was saying that the disparity between the two is professionalism and athleticism. It's not that GSP has better fighting instincts or even skill for that matter, although he may. I wasn't insulting GSP at all.
he is though. You can tell how much that guy sacrifices for this sport and it shows. He is essentially the perfect Mixed Martial Artist, and it isn't ALL natural ability because we have all seen the huge improvements.
