I gotta admit im not interested in hearing more excuses from gsp, he's a good guy and all and yea he seems to have had some personal issues but in the end he lost a fight by getting punched in the head really hard. All of these excuses are a bit underwhelming to hear.
Dead on. GSP lost, because he got battered standing. He got battered standing by Penn as well. For those that don't know, GSP lives at home with is parents, or at least did for his fight vs Serra. He was far from Chuck when it came to partying. The unfortunate tragedies regarding his family are terrible, but at the end of the day he has a job, he trained for it, and he lost. I remember watching All Access, and him and his crew talking about how he trained harder for his fight vs Serra then he did Hughes, and since he's the champ, he has to train harder then he ever has. Then he got blown out, and the rest came out. I like GSP, but I got Koscheck winning. Fitch and the rest of AKA are saying his striking is looking phenomenal, and he learned to sit on his punches and he hits harder then anybody else at the camp.
