@MrFrankello GSP is an amazing striker as far as MMA goes.

@abbeykroeter , no, Good was most incomplete, he had no answer for Askren's takedowns and Askren said so even before the fight. I was to say the least dis-appointed, but i also blame the TSK organization for the loss to some degree, by not having him fight for over a year was .........stupid. Being Champion is not just winning a belt, but defending it. I'm not speaking of exotic moves, i'm more speaking from takedown defense and mounting an attack from his strength position. Askren stopped that.

[abbeykroeter]

@nagone11 Being mauled means Good wasn't complete either. How long until everyone understands that? Do people actually believe that fighting, whether in a cage, on the street, in the woods during the stone age, had to be regulated to standing up, or only exotic moves? If somebody has fancy moves, but somebody k.o.'s him with a wild punch, who wins? It was luck? Than why not give credit to someone completely grinding Good into the floor the whole time? It is a skill that most don't understand.

@GrittyMcCheese

yea i see it , good eye , looking at it now , i guess i just figured he culda pulled the arm before it grasped his right leg , which he kinda tried to do , THEN make it into an omoplata , either way , yea super weird seeing him switch to the arm , bad movie indeed.
