It'sa great fight for me, a great test and a match that will help build me. He'sa real well-rounded fighter, good at everything. A really aggressive fighter. I believe the winner of this match will become a candidate for Anderson (Silva). ...

By spinal manu In short, BJ is the only man who could march up an entire weight category and not be eaten alive by GSP within one round. He is an excellent mixed martial artist whose skill made him so bored at lightweight that he actually had to look up to another weight class where perhaps MMA's pound-for-po...

By John Shubert The main event, while not competitive, at least proved without a shadow of a doubt, that GSP should be mentioned in the same breath with fighters like Anderson Silva and Fedor.
