So were some might not like his style, i do believe that he is the biggest star in the MMA right now. Someone correct me if i am wrong???

Lesnar is the most popular right now, his last 4 PPV's had over a million buys. GSP has only seen 2 of his PPV's do over a million, once when he was on the card with Brock and when he fought BJ Penn for the second time.

What does not liking a fighter have to do with them being boring? I dont like Liddell but I enjoy watching him fight, I dont like Mir but he is exciting to watch and I dont like Hardy but I enjoy watching him fight. People think he is boring because, aside from his fight with Kos (I fight I found very exciting), GSP goes for the take down and then just grinds out a dec. Its the same with Sherk and Fitch, their style of never trying to finish a fight is boring to a lot of people.

Read a lot of peoples comments all over the web. It don't take a rocket scientist to see that its a GSP hatefest by butthurt fans.

Sorry but I will say flat out. People who assume these fighters don't want to or try to finish fights are idiots.

I don't think that makes a person an idiot. That's just a lewd comment.

Maybe it is. However its funny to read all these people say that guys don't try to finish fights. There is no logic behind it whatsoever and it's pretty lame to hear it over and over again from the same type of fans. IMO they are idiots.

Wanting to finish and actually trying to finish are 2 VERY different things.

somewhere, josh koscheck is wishing GSP actually did stop the fight ... LOL
