Does GSP play to win?

“I don’t know…it’s difficult. It’s difficult to judge sometimes between a guy who is trying to finish the fight and one who is out there simply to please the judges. In the fight with GSP it felt like I was under pressure for the entire 25 minutes. It was clear that GSP didn’t want to stand and kickbox and that’s fair enough. That is his prerogative and that’s why he is the champion.Not only is he very good at what he does but he also knows how to win fights. I can’t take anything away from him for that but at the same time it is not the way I would choose to fight.

“Then again I can’t wrestle for s— and I’m not a blackbelt. That is partly the reason I suppose. I know I have a good left hook and I rely on that most of the time.”

” Some think that I’m just a loudmouth that likes to throw punches but I’ve been studying martial arts constantly for 22 years. It’s something that I have dedicated my life to and there is no doubt that I would like to continue to do it for the rest of my life as well. The red mohawk and tattoos might be a little misleading but it is part of the reason I have gone back to working the gi…just to get back to being a martial artist.”
