yes I would say that a 50% dec rate is struggling to finish fights. If you consider that 2 of his 3 finishes were against blown up LW's he is only 1 - 4 in finishing real WW's.

lets see, kos who is supposed to be a great wrestler couldn't take alves down and GSP did it many times ... GSP gives these guys a slow death ... i wish they did stats on the amount of people that did the walk of shame back to the dressing room crying or barely under their own power .. GSP would definitely be leading ... LOL ... i guess the winner of kampmann swick is in for a rough nite

Um no. Fedor has 30 wins (11 more than GSP) and he made Mark Cloeman's daughters cry so that means he had made 13 more people do the walk of shame / cry than GSP has.

The winner of Kampman vs Swick will get taken down over and over it will look like GSP vs Fitch

if thats really true then what does that say about the rest of the welterweight division when even though Alves lost last night he would still be considered the #1 contender in the division in most peoples eyes.

As a champion, Matt Hughes has 11 victories. 2 of those were for the title (Newton, GSP), 7 were title defenses (Sakurai, Newton, Castillo, Sherk, Trigg x2, Penn), 1 was a catchweight fight (Gracie) and the 1 his opponent didn't make weight for (Riggs).

Of those 11 victories as the Welterweight Champion, how many went to a decision? Only one, his fight against Sean Sherk.

So, you'll excuse me if I'm a little bit spoiled by that and actually expect UFC champions to fight to win, not just fight not to lose.

I seem to recall Tim Sylvia putting on similar performances against Andrei Arlovski and Jeff Monson and everybody hated him for it. However, with GSP it's somehow forgiven.

Thanks for the figures Nate, well said.
Impressive as well, wow, one decision as champion.

I also expect a champion to come in to WIN, not just not to lose.

you seem to over look the fact that the fighters are much better now then in years past and its much more difficult to finish a fight these days,
and if your argument truly is that GSP is such a bad fighter then how come only 2 people have ever finished him ?

Well one of them was Matt Serra so that counts as about 10

GSP looked GREAT the entire fight. Now lets see what happens when he has the time to gain weight and then take on A.Silva....After that, he should have his next title defense in the bag, either Kampman or Swick.

how much time should they give him to gain weight?
