I can't understand why you would say MMA resembles gay porn, gay porn scenes don't last anywhere near as long as the average MMA ground game.
You should tune in on the 10th to see BJ Penn and Anderson Silva, those are the two best in the UFC and two most exciting champions to watch fight.
His dad used to let him stay up late, sit on his lap and watch it with him, always dissapointed at how quick the scenes were, he'd always go to bed wanting more.
Can't disagree with too much you said, but I don't by any means think Hardy stole the show. GSP himself said he had technical problems executing the arm-bar. That said Hardy did account for himself well, I give him a lot of credit for the fight going the distance as he was able to avoid any major punishment by GSP while on the ground, (with the exception of some submission holds, which must have hurt like hell). But the "show" belonged to GSP who showed how truly skilled he is at taking down fighters. Hard to beleive he never wrestled in high school or university considering he's one of the best wrestlers in the UFC, which usually takes years and years to master, truly an amazing accomplishment.
He's not one of the best, he is the best. And it's not even really debatable if you sit and think about it. He is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best functional wrestler in Mixed Martial Arts. Is he the best pure wrestler? No, probably a long way off. But, fortunately for him, he isn't competing in a wrestling match. Like he said when someone asked him if he would win a grappling match with Jake Shields, "I don't think so." But in MMA? Shields would be in some serious trouble with GSP in his guard (for however long GSP wanted to be there before he passed...)
