Not just who wins ....but how?

i think if fitch beats gsp it has to be landing a nice punch or kick, or a decision.
Gsp's ground was always on point, and him spending a few weeks in brazil to work bjj BEFORE he even started his camp for fitch, makes me think he isnt getting subbed.

i think Gsp has all sorts of outs. It would be hard, but i think he could submit him. I feel like he could land a kick like in the 2nd hughes fight, or just control him, stuff takedowns, and push the pace for a decision, or get a tko.

If it goes 5 rounds i think it goes to gsp. Even though i think its one of fitch's only ways to win. If it comes down to it i think george will take it. Every decsion ive seen Gsp go to, was a decisive one, except for the bj fight. Ive never seen him get too tired, so i doubt he'll gas, and after the forrest/page fight, Fitch would have to BEAT gsp BAD, i doubt the judges would give the belt away after another close decsion

Im going to say Gsp stuffs takedowns (like he has made his career doing against wrestlers) and frustrates fitch, who then gets tko'd in the 3rd.

GSP tko or submission set up by rocking fitch with his striking. 2rd or 3rd round.

Unanimous/majority decision. I just don't see this fight ending early, they're both too good.

GSp by TKO at the middle of the second round, but I could also see GSp catching Fitch in an armbar in the 3rd.

I see it ending kinda like GSP / Hughes I did only the other way around... Fitch will do relatively well, but get sneaky subbed in the final seconds of the 1st

A decision. Really cant see either of these guys putting the other away.

GSP isn't koing Fitch before the 3ed. If Fitch pulls it off it'll be a mid fight sub. GSP will win by decision.
