He always admits to them... thats why he beats them up after so bad. Serra...Hughes..twice? Yeah, BJ penn makes excuses about the grease...& PLEASEEEE You really think the grease made a difference? BJ PENN GOT BEAT SO BAD U CUDA PUT GLUE ON BJ PENNS LEGS AND GSP WUDA BEAT HIM... Impassable Guard? GSP is a true champ, and he is classy...no trash talk..no excuses...true athlete. He only says those things in ""retrospect""..as to why did you lose to a guy who you beat up so bad afterwards?? so he just says "oh i had stuff on my mind" etcetc. instead of saying...yeah...he just sucked this rematch..i really owned him. OK ZACK…GSP makes excuses??

GSP is a true champ, and he is classy…no trash talk..no excuses…true athlete.

He only says those things in “”retrospect”"..as to why did you lose to a guy who you beat up so bad afterwards??
so he just says “oh i had stuff on my mind” etcetc.
instead of saying…yeah…he just sucked this rematch..i really owned him.

But, my prediction is GSP will do what he does since being KO'd by Serra and that is to take Alves down and grind him out and win in another boring GSP fight. GSP has weak chin and is scared of being KO'd again. I really hope Alves KO’s GSP.

"he got caught" thats what it means. GSP will probably be gun shy with alves he knows he has to get past Thiago's comfort zone. thiagos comfort zone is his lethal knees and axe like leg kicks. GSP can still get caught. He underestimated Matt serra and matt serra cauht him flush. I know it was a huge upset even i couldnt beleive it. But i do agree that GSP is 5 times better mentally and pysically and will bring his "A" game. Thiago better be ready FLUKE?? “he got caught” thats what it means.

Shoudl be a great fight. I do agree with you Jay on his much more tactical striking though, he really picks his spots now. Shoudl be a great fight.

Serra is a joke, end of. Just like Arlovski getting thrashed by rogers, a fluke punchers chance victory. Same thing. Anyway, the fight could go either way, but I see a few of GSP usual weapons being neutralized, I.E. His dominant wrestling, he isn't keeping Alves down like he did Fitch and Penn. We MAY see GSP bullied around this time. Just my opinion. That was a fluke, everybody knows it. Serra is a joke, end of.

GSP is a Black belt in BJJ and alves is not at the same level as GSP. GSP is a tactician. I also think GSP is a better technical striker than alves as well. BUT.....Alves has huge power in his hands and legs. He has to fight smart and use his skill. One thing is your big and powerful. But if Alves uses smarts and his power he can win also Umm bob Matt serra also destroyed him but was not tailor made. GSP is a Black belt in BJJ and alves is not at the same level as GSP.

Just because 'Pussy-Penn' got all butthurt over the fact that he can't hang with BIGGER FIGHTERS IN A DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASS. He got owned standing and on the ground man. All the rest just used that as an excuse for getting outworked in the cage, jumped on the bandwagon and ran with it. This is coming from a huge matt hughes fan BTW. Anyway, I do predict Alves by TKO in R2. Alves should friggin fight middleweight FFS, he's huge. GSP probably won't be able to keep him down for GnP, and Alves will probably hit him hard enough to take control of the cage. GSP may have found his first opponent who is tailor made to destroy him.

Although all said and done its harder to take Alves down. i think the question is can he get him on the ground…. then keep him there, Alves is like Bisping, getting him down is quite hard, keeping him there is harder.

Its just that after the Matt serra loss he has been more careful and takes his time. Can he man handle Alves on the ground like he has to other fighters??

Same goes for GSP. Look at every time someone has really rocked him. He crumbles. It's just rare that someone gets that chance...he's so...what's the word?...Oh yeah! SLIPPERY!
