That poster rules. Need to photoshop Diaz as the Jaws shark and GSP as the poor victim.

This is my A-1 most anticipated fight of the year.

The press conferences and interviews leading up to this will be epic.

Nick has been talking sh%t about Georges since he was in the WEC, this is going to wrap up loose ends.

I hope we get a competitive fight.

First presser on Wed, Jan 23.

If Diaz actually shows up, there's going to be lulz for sure.

Most likely GSP, Dana, Nick.......

Hope they plan on doing a prime time for this fight. The Diaz primetime was my favourite.

GSP's accent is so much fun to mock.

Not too noteworthy...

Diaz made a sly comment about how they probably don't test for steroids in Montreal.
GSP responded to a question about his lack of finishing by challenging the person to a fight.

oh my god what is Georges wearing??

The question at the end got me thinking: GSP and Rory have said that they will never fight each other, yet Rory has stayed in the WW division. GSP has said that if he ever fights Anderson Silva he doesn't want it to be a catchweight, he would want to move up to MW full time because it would be hard for him to cut back to WW, and if he's going to go up to 178 he might as well go up to 185.

So, if GSP and Rory win, and Hendricks loses, that would put Rory as the number one contender. Instead of fighting his friend and training partner, GSP could choose to move up a weight class for the biggest money fight in UFC history. And even if GSP loses to Anderson, he'd need to beat two more MW's top in order to get the rematch, which might even outsell the first fight.

GSP has a crazy amount of respect for Diaz, I think. "He earned it", "he's the best in the world", etc. Also the most lucrative fight with a clear path to victory, but whatever.

the Rory questions...gonna be non-stop for the next 2 months. gonna piss everyone off.

Gold Chain · Post #38 » by **Gold Chain** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 4:19 pm

Nick was surprisingly professional and I though was composed during some of the tougher questions.

That goodness this is all done, so we can get to this insane WW-heavy card.

Little prick asking GSP, a top 3 fighter on the planet, about him not finishing fights.
Unbelievable.

REDDzone · Post #39 » by **REDDzone** » Wed Jan 23, 2013 4:23 pm

I'd be shocked if GSP/Anderson ever happened. GSP doesn't want it.

And I'm cool with that.

But if his choices are to fight against Anderson, Rory, or a WW who clearly doesn't deserve a title shot, which option does he choose?
