Check his record and watch his fights. The answer is yes. Not as well as he would like, which is why he took the 2 year hiatus. Gunnar wants to be well-versed at everything before jumping into the mainstream rather than just being a one-trick pony like Phil Davis as him and his father realize this career has the potential to feed him for the rest of his days.

IMO, when you take away strikes and an audience where the combat is meaningful for someone on GSP's level, one has to consider that GSP isn't an Abu Dhabi champion. Everybody loses in training and exhibitions one time or another, so I wouldn't put too much stock in this.

i agree, for someone who has been at the top of his sport for so long and fought in front of some of the biggest crowds, maybe someone like gsp doesnt get all fired up for a grappling match in someones gym as he would if there was any real significance to the match

In practice, you lose to get better. Practice is where you try things that you don't know are possible to learn new things. Practice is not competitive, if you think it is you are doing it wrong.

Every fighter has their own intricacies and way of doing things, which is why you train with other people. Both GSP and Gunnar probably learned much from each other that day. To label a practice session as a win or a loss is wrong.

Very true i've heard of Gunnar being on the end of some damage in boxing training too but he has always looked sharp come fight time
