When he shows he can finish a fight, I'll eat my words. Until then, he doesn't deserve the #1 P4P ranking. He's worse than watching Jon Fitch fight.

A win is a win,but I do agree at least when it comes to p4p rankings. When you think of p4p kings you don't think about guys that fight only not to lose. He takes almost zero risks in a fight. I'm not saying that's not smart. It's just not Andersonish.:wink2:. Would you drop Aldo down or up after his fight last night? It was Kenflo so that's saying something.

I'd keep him right about the same. Right around #4 or 5. Kenflo is no slouch, and it looks like the drop in weight may pay off for him.

This will sound harsh but if you don't consider GSP one of the top fighters in the world you are flat out out of your freakin mind.

He absolutely OWNS his division and just because you don't like his "style" shouldn't penalize him. Hell you must hate half of the MMA fighters that aren't clay guida.

I'll take the guy who takes a ton of shit from fans - silva, and the othe other guy now taking [Mark May] from fans GSP.

maybe there's something to the two best in their sport being ridden by fans for not producing the most exciting fights but DOMINATING their sport! they both dominate- have done so for a long time and are 1 and 2 in my rankings. Until they lose it would be hard for me to place them anywhere else

Bones jones is awesome, electric, etc. But still not enough fights to be number 1 or even close for me. Okay, maybe close haha

Never said he wasn't a top fighter... He's #3 on my upcoming top 10 (falling behind Bones). I do, however, think he should take more risks in fights rather than using his conditioning and wrestling to dominate a fight for 5 rounds. Sure it's a win, but as the title holder, I want to see him finishing his opponents. For fucks sake, he broke Koscheck's orbital bone with one of his first punches, and STILL didn't finish him. That's sad.

I used to love GSP. His "early" fights in the UFC were great. He was aggressive and actually took risks. I just don't see that now. As has been pointed out, he seems to fight not to lose, as opposed to fighting for the finish. I look at Ellenberger beating Shields in the first round because he took a chance and wasn't afraid to get taken down. GSP never took a risk like that in his match against Shields.

See, I think that just makes my point stronger. He doesn't HAVE to take risks - he is that much better than everyone else. Would you, seriously, throw 60 yard bombs the rest of the game if you were gaining 8 yds per carry? No way. He doesn't have to risk it until someone can force him to do so. I think that proves just how good he is.

Sure, most fans want crazy action, prefer strikers, and if they will admit it honestly, don't like grappling and bjj. I appreciate and like all of it so it doesn't bother how it plays out.

What I do hate is roy Nelson just laying on a guy because he is fatter than him.

I love BJJ fighters more than I like any other type of Martial Art. BJ Penn is my favorite fighter of all time. I love fighters who, when there's blood in the water, ACTUALLY finish their fighters. It's not "throwing 60 yard bombs", it's having that shark mentality that GSP seems to lack anymore.

I don't watch a lot of UFC, but make sure I do when BJ Penn fights. Love the way he fights.
