Apparently that doesn't really effect GSP's fight game too much, remember Koscheck? Pissing him off seems to make him more focused...

i can see diaz condit going either way.

i do think, match-up wise that condit is the more dangerous match-up for gsp.

During UFC 137 (week) I felt like I had to walk around Las Vegas with my fists ready (to punch Diaz) because every time I came across him he wanted to fight there and then. Every time the elevator opened (in the hotel) I needed to be ready to fight in case he stepped in. I was on edge all week. This guy is crazy.

How funny would it have been if a "rattled" GSP attacked Diaz when/if the elevator door opened. GSP all pumped up on adrenaline and thinking Diaz is going to come at him. The elevator door opens, GSP's adrenaline spikes, Diaz being Diaz flips GSP the bird and calls him a bitch. GSP jumps on him thinking Diaz is going to attack him. Ha ha I know I would find much amusement in something along those lines.

hahaha that is hilarious, and actually doesn't seem that far-fetched. I could totally see GSP being really uptight and tense and just sorta snapping on instinct haha

las t2 pretty funny GSP flipping out and striking first. That would be funny. My prediction on GSP is he'll be training to come back and get hurt. He won't come back unless he's neer 100% he'll be very carefull not to come back too soon. Technically he's still the champ his sponsers want him replying to keep him in the news, and his managers likes the champs sponsership money. GSP is a fine example of great genetic's, but feel he'll pull out early and not take any chances.

That's a good point, GSP has to say something interesting to stay in peoples minds, and that means he will be more likely exaggerate.

Also, I absolutely think either Condit or Diaz have a good shot of beating GSP. The guy has just blown out both of his knees, and he's a guy who relies on a lot of lateral movement, double leg takedowns, and kicks, all of which rely on having strong knees. Unless the surgery and rehab goes amazingly well, which I'm guessing it won't since he injured one knee while rehabbing the other, he is never going to be 100% again. Just go back to how Shogun looked after coming back from his string of knee injuries.

If GSP fought either guy 2 years ago, ya I think he wins. Now it's a toss up.
