GSP UFC 200

You heard it here first.

Fan of Sports with Integrity · « **Reply #2 on:** January 08, 2016, 05:24:52 AM »

Gave Underarmour the scoop.

Him vs. Robbie at UFC 200 would be massive.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #3 on:** January 08, 2016, 05:39:35 AM »

Well now.

Can't seem to see it in their timeline but it looks legit.

AA484 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 08, 2016, 06:30:12 AM »

Whatever it was, it's gone now. I presume it's something indicating his return?

Firmino of the 909 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 08, 2016, 06:31:00 AM »

Yeah, it said he was coming out of retirement. Not surprised they deleted it, they probably put it out there way too soon.

Helwani is saying it's bullshit.

I bet they do Anderson vs. GSP at UFC 200 anyway. That tweet wouldn't have been on there unless something was up.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #9 on:** January 08, 2016, 08:27:16 AM »

Agreed. This wasn't somebody sourcing a source of a source. It was an official account.

Just Call Me Dan · « **Reply #10 on:** January 10, 2016, 05:01:21 AM »

Anderson has to get through Bisping without injury or a failed test first. Anderson is done as a top draw if he loses that fight.

This is gonna almost feel like when Mayweather/Pacquiao finally fought.

Firmino of the 909 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 18, 2016, 05:36:01 AM »

It's not official yet, but every comment he's making or made lately, he's coming back. Apparently he's training right now, but the Reebok deal is kind of holding shit up.

Fan of Sports with Integrity · « **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2016, 05:45:22 AM »

Yeah from everything I'm reading, the issue is sponsorships.

Firmino of the 909 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 18, 2016, 05:46:23 AM »

He's on the MMA Hour right now, says he doesn't really care about the belt and wants to fight the biggest names they have.

Firmino of the 909 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 18, 2016, 05:52:36 AM »

Three things that excite GSP

- WOMAN
- OCTAGON
- ZE DINOSAURS

HSJ · « **Reply #16 on:** April 18, 2016, 06:16:46 AM »

What big fights are there for him? GSP/Diaz 2, GSP/Anderson, GSP/Condit 2? There are only a few 185ers people would want to see GSP fight.

Fan of Sports with Integrity · « **Reply #17 on:** April 18, 2016, 06:23:48 AM »

Rockhold would be a huge fight. Lawler is a big one as well, surprised you didn't mention that one.

Said GSP doesn't care about the title. I assume that means MW and WW.

Edit: Thought it said "Who" - Probably the same million people who bought it the first time around.

But you would be silly to think a rematch wouldn't sell.

The titles are irrelevant, these fights would be huge because of the matchups. People have wanted to see Robbie vs. GSP for over ten years. Even though GSP said he doesn't care about titles, Robbie having one and cementing himself as the best of the best at 170 would make this fight bigger than any of the ones you mentioned which is what he ultimately wants, except maybe Anderson (but I think Anderson looking past his prime recently has cooled off that hype).

Re: Rockhold, it's a scary fight that's also super interesting and many would love to see GSP in that underdog role again. It would be huge in terms of the "CAN HE DO IT" and "HOW WILL HE DO IT" hype.

Fan of Sports with Integrity · « **Reply #22 on:** April 18, 2016, 06:46:36 AM »

ah shit I forgot about the biggest fight that's also intriguing and winnable GSP VS. VITOR CLASH OF THE TWO LEGENDS OLD SCHOOL VS OLDER SCHOOL

Firmino of the 909 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 18, 2016, 06:47:26 AM »

I was thinking the same shit, but given how touchy GSP is over the steroid subject, I'm not sure he'd want that fight.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #24 on:** June 20, 2016, 09:26:44 AM »

Per the man himself he's back. No opponent or date announced but I imagine it'll be at the MAG card.

Just Call Me Dan · « **Reply #25 on:** June 21, 2016, 03:56:20 AM »

I hate the rumored Bisping fight mainly because its a sport to call out Bisping and that means we wouldn't get Bisping/Hendo.

With that being said it's sounding like Bisping is doing his best to duck out of fights with the top 3 contenders.

Just Call Me Dan · « **Reply #27 on:** June 21, 2016, 08:13:11 AM »

That's the thing. NEITHER guy wants any part of Jacare/Rockhold/Weidman. Bisping will face the music if he gets to fight Hendo first. Just seems like there is more money to be made with Bisping/Hendo already being talked about and GSP/anybody.

Georges is starting the USADA process today.

Won't be fighting on the MSG card, BUT HE'S COMING BACK BAH GAWD

Smart dude. Doesn't want no bullshit exemptions.

Fan of Sports with Integrity · « **Reply #30 on:** August 10, 2016, 05:25:58 AM »

Got a lot of mixed feelings on this one, I don't wanna see him come back and get hurt. His legacy is secure.

But if he comes back and beats Woodley it will make me feel like a teenage fan again, the nostalgia effect will be off the charts. I still remember jumping off my couch and SCREAMING when he beat Hughes the first time.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #31 on:** August 10, 2016, 05:33:14 AM »

I feel you but I'm not sure how much it hurts his legacy if he comes back and loses. I'll argue him over Anderson as the GOAT and that's not as a fan, that's somebody looking at the core facts of how he's performed over the course of his career and who it was against. Not sure getting KO'd by Woodley will do much damage to that.

Wait.....you watched him when you were a teenager? Why did I think you were older then me?

Fan of Sports with Integrity · « **Reply #32 on:** August 10, 2016, 05:35:56 AM »

Maybe I wasn't clear, but I'm worried about his health if he comes back, not his legacy. That's why I said it's secure, he has no reason to come back and risk getting hurt.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #33 on:** August 10, 2016, 05:39:30 AM »

Fair point, didn't read your post correctly. From a health perspective yeah for sure. He's publicly talked about his fear of how many years mma has taken off his life.

HSJ · « **Reply #34 on:** August 10, 2016, 05:43:45 AM »

I understand why people think GSP in the GOAT (I still believe Anderson is), but man, I can't forget about that long stretch of boring fights he had. My last fight of his I enjoyed was vs. BJ Penn 2 and that was 4 years before he retired.

Firmino of the 909 · « **Reply #35 on:** August 10, 2016, 05:51:27 AM »

He's the GOAT if he comes back and beats a top guy in the USADA era. He did lose to Hendricks IMO, but those Hendricks performances are tainted when you see the volume he was throwing even when he wasn't in good shape and how he fights now.

Condit had about 3 minutes of offense in a 25 minute fight. But okay, the Hendricks fight was good because I thought Big Rigg was going to pull off the upset.

Serra admitted to taking TRT on Rogan's show, it wouldn't surprise me if he juiced during his career.

Dana has started up his usual "GSP doesn't really want to fight" bullshit again which basically translates to "I'll do everything in my power not to pay him and give him a cut of a ppv that's sure to draw huge numbers."

Ok so GSP is going on UFC Tonight this week. He's coming back motherfuckers.

GSP's lawyers got him out of his UFC contract and he is now a free agent.
