he is trying to finish it.
so far 4-0 for gsp. 1 round to go
no he's not he's fighting for the points.
Yeah, I wish we could find someone to push GSP, at least to make it a good fight.
As for GSP, it wasn't a good performance. What I think was the key was not just his eye, but his reaction to it. Like he sounded very worried about the eye. Like some have said, is GSP able to really dig deep when in trouble? I'm not sure. Which is weird because he seems like such a mentally strong and intelligent guy. But I think that comes out more as being a patient and cautious winner, rather than like a really gutsty winner.
That eye could have seriously been fucked. I hope it's okay. But people seem to expect that GSP should charge forward with one eye, knock Shields down, then jump onto him with one eye. Sounds like a great way to get caught in an armbar or something that you couldn't see.
IMO, GSP was totally embarrassing Shields before the eye thing happened, and then some even afterwards.
He did seem to get psyched out by the fact that he couldn't see out of his eye, but that's understandable. I imagine getting poked in the eye and not being able to see how of it is an unnerving experience... definitely one of the worst kinds of injuries.
Yep that must have been a real issue for him. Think if you're in a HUGE fight, and it's not like your hand or jaw is broke, or your nose is all busted up, or whatever. But when your eye has a serious issue it must mess with you terribly. I dunno, maybe some don't mind but to me I think that's about the worse. Problems with your eye can be such a big deal, cause well you might not be able to see from it. I hope it's nothing big and GSP is fine.He freaked out when he couldn't see out of his eye, splashing it with water between rounds, but really seemed to sh!t when his ring man told him it wasn't even bleeding. I think he was terrified of losing an eye at that point.
Without any blood or obvious scratch, he could have a detached retina, ala Sugar Ray Leonard. That would be pretty devastating and could even lead to permanent damage depending on the severity of it, as well as how the surgery goes.
Wow, closer than I thought it would be.
Exactly why I don't watch it anymore. It's more a circus show than anything anymore. There are a only a few good fights a year and they want $50 for each ppv. I'll pass. I wonder if they'll invite Coleman back to fight Couture for the over 45 belt? Putting Randy vs Machida was strictly a money grab. Couture is almost 50 freaking years old. GSP is boring as hell to watch. Truth is the guy outclasses everyone by a mile but he can't finish a fight to save his ass so you end up watching him throw his opponent around for five rounds. I'm done. Whenever they decide to charge $19.99 a ppv I'll start watching again. I'm not paying $50 for this garbage.
1 judge gave 50-45.
but 2 judges gave 48-47?! WTF?!
i can see shields maybe getting 1 round. but 2?!?!?!
seriously, wtf is with seagal and his crane kick taking down top level talent?

Unfortunately, I agree with you. I've been into Strikeforce because the guys there finish. I hope the UFC doesn't f' them up too.
