RH that post was lovely.
As I'm a penis I've decided to pick up on one thing.

To me, that was Fedor vs. Werdum. Fedor could have played an Anderson, and feared the ground game of an elite grappler, kept it standing to the point of a horribly boring fight. Or he could have simply said go big or go home and followed the best HW grappler to the mat, trusting his sambo vs. the best big jitz on the planet...and came up short.

Was it a "Tin Cup" moment of shere stubborn bull headedness and absolute trust in your own skill set?
Personally I thought Fedor assumed Werdum was more hurt than he was and so was happy to go into the danger zone to try and finish it quick. We all saw it backfired. It didn't seem to me a case of well I'm happy to beat you where ever you fancy.
Personally I put GSP very close to the Fedor category. Especially as GSP's wins are now coming in the new age of MMA vs the best possible contenders. That's not trying to piss on Fedors parade here, you beat who's in front of you in the best manner you can and he's done this over and over. But I can barely remember a moment in any recent fight where GSP has been in trouble since Serra. Too many decision victories yes, but just a complete annihilation of the top talent WW has to offer.
