Boring fights:
GSP vs Kos I 2007
GSP vs Alves 2009-Should have finished him
GSP vs Hardy 2010-Should have finished him standing
GSP vs Kos 2 2010-He didn't want to finish someone who couldn't see out of his eye
GSP vs Shields 2011-No explanation needed

Pretty much ever since he regained his title, he's fought very safe.

In terms of exciting champs:

1. Jones
2. Silva
3. Velasquez
4. Aldo
5. Edgar
6. GSP
7. Cruz

No offense, but you haven't watched much of Aldo if you don't have him MUCH higher on that list, as in 1 or 2. I can see the argument for Jones above him, but no one else on that list and that includes Silva.

Did you watch that fight? Silva was dicking around with Cote just like Maia and Leites.

He may very well submit him, but I don't think it would be on the feet long enough for their to be a KO.

GSP has been submitted once, by Hughes. Other than that he has fought some of the best BJJ guys at 170 and no one else has submitted him. It would be interesting for sure. I mean interesting in that what would happen, not interesting as in exciting.

Unbelievable speed and technique on that kick, the way he set it up to with the hip swivels and fake left was amazing, a thing of beauty.

GSP did not win all five rounds.

That scorer is a crack addict. GSP won 4 rounds. But he certainly wasn't as dominant as all the articles would have you believe. He too at least as much damage as he dished out and Shields has terrible striking. If Shields can work on his striking I think the fight might go differently because I don't think GSP wants anything to do with a ground battle against him.

I am a HUGE Randy fan but seeing someone use the karate kid Crane kick live in the ufc was EPIC.

If you're implying that he is a dirty fighter, watch the post fight interview, Lyoto is one of the classiest fighters in MMA.

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing that fight, not sure if Rampage has enough tools to beat a guy like Jones though.

At least that would be an interesting fight. As opposed to Rashad fighting him...who would try to lay on him for 5 rounds

I think as long as his TDD is good and keeps it standing he has a good chance to Knock him out, Hamill will certainly want to take Rampage down and gnp him out.

Rashad has to get by Phil Davis first, which I think he will. I'm not sure he wouldn't want to keep the fight against Bones standing and mix in take downs to win rounds, he has KO power in that right hand.

I wouldn't mind seeing the winner of the Rampagpe-Hamill fight vs the winner of the Rashad-Davis fight for the number one contender bout while Bones Jones heals up from surgery. Would really like to see Rashad vs Rampage 2

No, because Rashad is a bitch and just lays on him the whole fight. Id rather see Rashad get stomped out by Phil Davis and Davis fight Rampage
