    What the hell?

    I was reading an article in a french Canadian newspaper about how GSP would like to go to the Olympics as part of the Canadian wrestling team.

    The writer said GSP has been training with some of the best Canadian amateur wrestlers. He then said he's also been sparring with Andrade to help him get ready for his rematch with Bute.

    :huh:huh:huh:huh:huh

    Now, I know GSP is obviously not Andrade's only sparring partner. But still....

    :lol:

    Maybe Andrade should work on straightening out his punches instead of sparring with gsp.

    That must of been an old article as GSP was asked to wrestle in the 2008 games for Canada fact !!!!!! , he started wrestling with them (Canadian National Team) to enhance his all round skill set in MMA after being predominantly a stand up fighter .

    And lots of the top MMA fighters are now regularly sparring with top level pro boxers !!!!!!

    It's normal that MMA fighters spar with boxers to learn but in the case here it's Andrade who is preparing himself with St-Pierre. Two other names have been said: Sébastien Demers and Adonis Stevenson. I hope there was somebody else but I don't think so.

    Bute has sparred mainly with Glen Johnson.

    I love GSP in MMA but I think he's there for the same reason than Demers and Stevenson: they cost nothing. Let's hope for Andrade that he actually had best sparring partners but does want to keep it secret.

    Hopefully he is sparring some good boxers. Nothing against GSP just not the same caliber as Glen Johnson.
