Gotta give Sanchez props though for bringing it late in the fight despite looking very doughy. When I saw him during the intros I figured he would gas pretty quick since he's never looked so bad before. But yes, a GSP fight would be an awful idea. Sanchez poses little to no threat to George.
If the Penn/Fitch fight falls through, maybe we can get: Sanchez/Fitch rematch Penn/Alves Winners face off for title shot.
Actually it was close, Fitch had control but did very little with it, while Diego was consistently going for sub attempts.
gsp needs to fight a very good standup guy with excelent takedown defence john howard or anthony johnson seem to be better candidates to mee then another pointless rematch being from montreal, im a huge gsp fan but i really think on the feet hes still a little bit gunshy so i would love a fight to prove me wrong
On paper, Alves is the most dangerous opponent for GSP according to that criteria. Alves doesn't have amazing TDD, but it is solid, and GSP dominated him.
alves hasnt looked great lately, the last time he impressed me was against huges i really dont see him giving trouble to gsp must be easy for gsp & greg jacskon to create a game plan for this guy
ill chek the fight again, maybe i was too drunk that night i really dont remember much one thing alves has is those crazy leg kicks, man those look like they hurt
even outside of ufc its hard to find a ww that could trouble gsp nick diaz could be a good fight dailey too
i think gsp dosent wanna go inside in a standup war thats why he jabbed koschek to death but thats just smart, an inside scrap is always a risk just look at what hapenned to kampman yesterday
Wow yeah I just went back and watched it and it was a lot closer than I remember. Diego had some great submission attempts off his back. How is he only a brown belt still?
