I didn't realize fighters practice rolling around like clueless ******s on the mat. But seriously, I imagine that's a really good agility workout.
He said he practices gymnastics too increase his strength and flexibility since gymnast are the strongest athletes out there. Also he don't like doing the same training because he finds it boring doing the same thing over and over again.
Both fighters are doing intelligent training. I haven't been this excited for a fight since the Belfort/Silva match. The two best welterweights on the planet are going to fight for five rounds. It should be nothing short of epic. Here's to hoping it doesn't end inside one round like Silva's fight with Vitor. I don't see GSP training with Steven Segal so perhaps we're safe.
it seems true enough that gymnasts are the best athletes when you look at GSP on the rings and then compare him with a born gymnast.

This probably gets Georges out of his comfort zone more than anything else.
GSP doing gymnastics isnt helping him get rid of ppl thinking he is gay with him already wearing tight undies and wrestling, just sayin
