Georges St. Pierre vs Georges Laraque in a takedown competition. (via BloodyElbow)

This looks like so much fun. I really miss doing takedown competitions.

Purple Rain: Anderson Silva's Confounding Talent - Head Kick Legend

A fighter like GSP might be content to dominate his weight class, show up in a well-tailored suit and talk up every mediocre opponent like they are a great challenge and that will endear him to the fans and to Dana White. What that means for GSP is that he will without a doubt be more successful, in the traditional sense, than Anderson Silva will ever be. Fans value hard work and modesty and see talents like Silva as confusing and irritating. Anderson really didn’t even need to train for this fight, and honestly, with him slowing down like he did, I doubt he really did train very hard for this fight. Does it matter? He still easily dominated one of the top fighters in his weight class with no challenges in the Middleweight Division on the horizon anytime soon that will motivate him.

Damn, I miss wrestling.  The drilling isn’t all that fun to look at, but the live wrestling with GSP and Marquardt is so pretty.  I’m guessing Shannon especially will dig this. ;)

Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of St. Pierre.  But let’s put it this way.  Fitch lost a 5 round decision to a healthy, untorn-groined St. Pierre.  He took his licks, and he. kept. coming.  He was outperformed in that fight, but he did not wilt, and he did not stop.  It’s his grit I covet, not his record. mdt: Fitch is a manly man, no doubt but George St. Pierre owned him in their last fight and I don’t see that changing any time soon. Any praise for Fitch has to acknowledge that he is, at best, only the second most badass 175 170 lb man on the planet. jnadiger: balletofviolence: By Esther Lin (via AllElbows and MMA Fanhouse) This man is somehow a complete animal, and more man than most men walking the Earth. If Jon Fitch ever decides to fight a good war, againsts the fascists for instance, or the zombies, I would follow him. /endheroworship

Olympic GSP

Who else would love to see Georges St. Pierre wrestle for Canada in the 2012 Olympic games?

Quinton Jackson up and Mohawk’d himself to Vancouver. Brock Lesnar picked up a case of swine flu from a viking horn. Lyoto Machida’s hand has eluded him. Anderson Silva has a recurring funny bone injury. Thiago Alves’s knee won’t even let him TRY to make weight. And despite Greg Jackson’s best efforts, Georges St. Pierre CAN’T hit a guy with his pulled groin.
