Is GSP a Pussy?

Let me start off by saying that I am a GSP fan and I happen to be a huge supporter of Georges St.Pierre so any hatin' on me from GSP fans would be misdirected.

Direct the hate on Dana White for questioning GSP's ability to be mentally tough. Here are a couple quotes captured by the Houston Chronicle of Dana White on GSP:

"After watching that Matt Serra fight, I question Georges St-Pierre's mental ability to fight,"

"This kid was so nervous to fight Matt Serra, it was blowing my mind. I think that Georges St-Pierre needs to work on his mental game."

I was watching VHI Rock honors last night and the one and only "Price of Darkness" - Ozzy Osboure was being interviewed by the Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins in the green room before Ozzy took the stage to perform. Wicked version of "Crazy Train" I must add... sorry... I digress...

Taylor mentioned to Ozzy that he gets terrible stage fright before he steps out in front of thousands to perform so Oz acknowledged Taylor's candour and shared his own experience by mentioning that he gets stage fright too and is often terrified before he hits the stage.

Ozzy went on to say that it's s good thing to be a little scared because it means that you actually care. Hmmmm.... it means that you care? Yes, I can buy that because I too have had bouts of anxiety primarily due to the pressure I would place on myself to perform well (aside from the sack if ya know what i mean ;)

All of the GSP-Serra pre-fight interviews included GSP saying that he wasn't going to take his opponent lightly and that he has an obligation to his fans to put on a good show.

Anxiety is no joke IF that was what plagued GSP before stepping into the octagon with Serra. Personally, I didn't get the impression that GSP was under any strain however, anxiety sometimes isn't visible on the outside or that my bias wouldn't allow me to accept that GSP was dare I say it... scared.

Dana White is a dick for even opening his trap to slag on one of his fighters like that and deserves the Tool of the Day. Unfortunately, someone beat him to it today although I am sure that Dana White will get his day in the Tool Shed.

The CHRON article does mention that Josh Koscheck will be fighting GSP at UFC 74 so we'll see if GSP is really a pussy or not and hopefully, Dana can pull his head out of his ass long enough to see that GSP IS the real deal and will reclaim his title following the lengthy stall tactic of Hughes vs. Serra when TUF6 is completed.

I can't stand it when people rag on a fighter because of a loss... especially when that person is the friggin' President of the UFC... no class at all.

"Mixed martial arts is a cultural plague"

Brian Vanochten - Tool of the Day

If you haven't ever checked out FightOpinion.com yet, you really should. The folks over there cover a wide range of combat sports with a strong emphasis on mixed martial arts in particular.

So, I was checking Fight Opinion and I read their latest post titled: "Writer: MMA fans are cave dwellers". Huh? I'm an MMA fan so I had to read what that was all about and boy, was I surprised by the blatant ignorance of the highlighted story by a writer that should seriously turn in their keyboard and get a real hairpiece.

Here's a snippet of how the story begins...

Here's what UFC fans have in common:

A. They're mostly Neanderthal males hiding in caves.

B. They're not nearly sophisticated enough to appreciate the sweet science of boxing, nor the infield fly rule, the pick-and-roll, the left-wing lock, the bump draft or the pulling right guard.

C. They still think the "Flintstones" is a documentary.

The rest of the *cough* article *cough* doesn't let up on the unnecessary harshness of the MMA fan or the sport. Fortunately, the TOOL of the DAY will no longer be covering one of the most (if not the most) fastest growing sports in the universe.

"I promise this is the last time I'll ever write about UFC or the knuckleheads that participate in this savage bloodlust for the purpose of TV ratings."

Hey Brian Vanochten, thank you for sparing us cave dwellers from your drivel.

By the way, I just bought a half-million dollar cave recently and I have all the tools I can handle at the moment so that means that you are are useless tool!

Stick with Boxing and keep writing about those light flyweight (106 to 108 lb)elementary schoolyard recess fights.

Brian Vanochten, you are a TOOL!
